George Clooney beats Brad Pitt (to an award, rather than in a fight)

Oh you GUYS...

Another day, another fancy awards ceremony - but this time there was some proper A-list action going on, with Brad Pitt and George Clooney hanging out on the red carpet. The pair were up against each other for the Best Actor award, which was won by George Clooney for The Descendents. And they were having a right old laugh on there as well. 

George - what's he like, eh? - laughed that he and Brad would have a 'death match' (we chose to hear naked wrestle) after all the competition through awards season. But then he said that the two of them were good mates, so he didn't really mind who wins. 

"Look, he's my buddy, so everything that happens that's good for him makes me very happy," he said, which basically made us do a massive swoon. 

George and Brad weren't the only celebs on the red carpet - in fact, it was a veritable A-list catch-up, with Michelle Williams and her new red hair attending, along with Diane Kruger and Busy Phillips. Kirsten Dunst, Charlize Theron, Emma Stone and Elle Fanning also got their best frocks out too.

Emma Stone - only a night after she'd been at the People's Choice Awards. Good stamina

Tilda Swinton rocked this season's monochrome trend

Elle Fanning - ooh, this is nice and Spring-like isn't it?

Diane Kruger looked gorgeous in her maxi

Charlize Theron was there too. Actually, it looks like everyone was there. Except us. Oh...
