Robert Pattinson Interview - Twilight Star Hits the Red Carpet at the Hollywood Film Festival

The 12th Annual Hollywood Film Festival held its Awards Gala last night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and actors, directors, and producers hit the red carpet to celebrate another successful festival. The Hollywood Film Festival, which was created to "honor excelllence in the art of filmmaking as well as creative talent within the global creative community," wrapped up its 2008 run with a star-studded Gala attended by Dustin Hoffman, Ben Stiller, Ron Howard, and James Franco, all of whom picked up awards at the black tie optional event.

Also on hand was one of the hottest actors in Hollywood right now - Robert Pattinson. Although Twilight hasn't even hit theaters yet (it's due out on November 21st), the buzz built up around the 22-year-old British actor is phenomenal.

With his starring role as Edward Cullen in Twilight, Pattinson has become a hot commodity around the globe. Read More - Robert Pattinson on Twilight, the Soundtrack and Reshoots
