She's no stranger to high-profile industry events, and last night (October 26) Charlize Theron was spotted at the 2009 Hollywood Awards Gala Ceremony.

The "Italian Job" actress looked lovely as she arrived at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, sporting a strapless black ensemble with sparkly-toed black heels.

And Miss Theron wasn't just a spectator to the night's events, but she also presented the Breakthrough Actor Award.

Last week, Charlize put her money where her mouth was- literally. She raised $140,000 for charity by offering a 20-second kiss as part of a vacation package at an African Outreach Project auction.
