The Irishman stood out at The Hollywood Film Awards claiming the Best Supporting Actor, Best Hollywood Producer and Best Visual Effects awards in Los Angeles on on Sunday.
The film is based on Charles Brandt's non-fiction book I Heard You Paint Houses. It is a biopic of Frank 'The Irishman' Sheeran, a mob hitman who claimed to have been involved in the murder of union boss Jimmy Hoffa in 1975.
After accepting the Best Supporting Actor Award Al Pacino admitted he didn't have to audition for the part. He said: "Bob said, 'How about Al as Hoffa?' And Marty said, 'Yeah, OK. Is he OK?' And Bob said, 'He's a sweetheart.' So I didn't have to audition."
Charlize Theron, who received the Hollywood Career Achievement Award, said her role in Monster changed her career: "I was given was a chance to show that I was capable of more and it did change my career."
"After that, I didn't have to fight so hard for those interesting parts anymore, and more opportunities came my way to get outside of my comfort zone and do things that were maybe not expected for me.
"I think from that moment on, I built a career that has kind of defined what I really wanted my career to be - not typecast, not stereotypical roles, but to really do things that are interesting and challenges the psyche of how we look at people.
Another sweet moment was when Antonio Banderas was given The Hollywood Actor Award for Pain and Glory by his step-daughter Dakota Johnson.
Speaking about when Banderas was playing Puss in Boots in Shrek 2 Johnson said: "It was the most fun a kid could have. We had Shrek swag coming out of our ears. We loved every second of it."
Banderas, who was married to Johnson's mother Melanie Griffiths until 2015 added: "She still calls me Papi, And I love that, you have no idea. We had 20 years of family life that was beautiful, but the best is still to come."
