KANYE WEST ATTENDS THE 17TH HOLLYWOOD FILMS AWARDS ON KIM'S BIRTHDAY..... NOW ENGAGED TO KIM.

The Hollywood Film Awards,the first awards show of the 2013 film awards season, took place on last night at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.Thanks to the announcement of the show's award recipients in the weeks leading up to the gala ceremony, every big-name winner was in attendance -- among them Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Jake Gyllenhaal,Julia Roberts and Harrison Ford -- along with famous friends to present them with their awards, such as Robert Downey, Jr. and Jane Fonda.



The first award of the night, the Hollywood Breakout Director Award, was presented to 12 Years a Slave helmer Steve McQueen -- by none other than Kanye West, who said that he flew in for the event from San Francisco on his girlfriend Kim Kardashian's 33rd birthday because he felt it was so important to honor McQueen's achievement. He said, "I've always admired Steve's work," noting that he has attended exhibits of his video art and enjoyed his past films (Hunger and Shame), but said he was particularly impressed by 12 Years. "It was extremely moving," he said, noting how impressed he was with how long McQueen held some shots.

According to reports, West immediately flew back to San Francisco and made up his brief absence to Kardashian by proposing to her.McQueen, for his part, joked, "I've arrived!" before adding, more seriously, that he made the film with the goal of helping to reach a "reconciliation with the past in order get to a brighter future."

Hollywood Actor Award recipient McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club), who received his statuette from costar Jennifer Garner, had the audience wrapped around his fingers with a folksy acceptance speech. He acknowledged the many other people in the room with whom he has worked over the past 20 years; emphasized how his decision to "recalibrate" his career and recommit to acting a few years ago -- which led to his appearances over the past two years in the films Magic Mike, Killer Joe, Mud, the forthcoming The Wolf of Wall Street and Dallas Buyers Club -- has been such a personally (if not financially) rewarding experience for him; and teased his film's plot and release date in an organic way. In short, he nailed his talking points, won over the room and looked like a plausible winner up on the stage.

Coldplay's Chris Martin, en route to accepting the Hollywood Song Award from singer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds on behalf of his band for their song "Atlas" on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire's soundtrack, joked that the film is based on a true story and gave a solo performance of the song -- the first he has ever done publicly -- to a considerable ovation.See more pics below;
