Chris Martin Performs "Atlas" & Takes Home Hollywood Song Award for Coldplay at the Hollywood Film Awards

Chris Martin gave a stirring solo performance of Coldplay's 'Atlas" from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack last night at the Hollywood Film Awards, before accepting the Hollywood Song Award on behalf of the band. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Martin joked that the film is based on a true story before the solo performance of the song -- the first he has ever done publicly -- to a considerable ovation.

Martin also joked on writing "Atlas," "Method songwriting. Went to live in the woods for 6 months. Nothing but a bow and arrow and piano." And, "This is our bid to host the Hunger Games in London, 2020." When he finished the song, after his voice cracked during a high note he said, "I messed up the end but the rest was okay!!"

Here's a video of the performance thanks to redcarpetroxy:
