THE "HOLLYWOOD FILM AWARDS(R)" ANNOUNCES QUEEN LATIFAH AS HOST FOR 2014 AWARDS SHOW

The "Hollywood Film Awards" to be Broadcast Live from the Hollywood Palladium, Friday, Nov. 14 on CBS

The Hollywood Film Awards today announced that multi-talented Academy and Emmy Award-nominated, Golden Globe Award-winning actress, Grammy Award-winning musician and talk show host Queen Latifah will host the inaugural broadcast of the HOLLYWOOD FILM AWARDS live from the Hollywood Palladium Friday, Nov. 14, 2014 (8:00-10:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network. The Hollywood Film Awards have recognized excellence in the art of cinema and filmmaking for 17 years, honoring some of the world's biggest stars. They are considered the official launch of the awards season.

"I'm honored to be a part of such a legendary award show," stated Latifah. "The HOLLYWOOD FILM AWARDS have been a staple in the awards season for years, and I'm excited to be the first host to bring them to television!"

"Queen Latifah is the real deal. She is a triple threat - she can act, she can sing, she can dance - she is beloved by audiences across multiple genres and she entertains millions of people every day," said Jack Sussman, Executive Vice President of Specials, Music and Live Events for CBS. "We look forward to having her as our host for the inaugural broadcast of the HOLLYWOOD FILM AWARDS."

"Queen Latifah is a world-class entertainer," said Carlos de Abreu, Founder and Executive Producer of the Hollywood Film Awards. "From film and music to television, her humor, quick wit and ability to entertain live audiences make her the perfect choice to host the HOLLYWOOD FILM AWARDS."

Latifah was anointed hip-hop's first lady of rap at the age of 19 with the release of her highly successful debut album, All Hail The Queen. She went on to release multiple Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling albums, and in 2006 she became the first hip-hop artist to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Latifah has enjoyed similar success in television and film. Her first TV series was "Living Single," and she has starred in nearly 40 films, including "Jungle Fever," "Living Out Loud," "The Bone Collector," "Chicago," "Hairspray," "Bringing Down the House," "The Secret Life of Bees," "Last Holiday," "Beauty Shop" and "Joyful Noise." She also executive produced and starred in the HBO true-life drama "Life Support," for which she won a Golden Globe award, a SAG award and an Emmy nomination. Her production company, Flavor Unit Entertainment, was founded in 1993 with partner Shakim Compere. The Miami-based studio currently has several films and television series in production, including VH1's "Single Ladies" and the upcoming The CW reality show "The Star Next Door." Additionally, Latifah has written two bestselling books on self-esteem and designed a successful clothing and beauty line for HSN. Currently, she is the host of "The Queen Latifah Show," a daily syndicated talk show, which she is producing with Shakim Compere and Overbrook Entertainment's Will Smith, Jada Smith and James Lassiter.
