George Clooney @ Critics Choice Awards 2008

George Clooney flashes his million-dollar smile at the 2008 Critics’ Choice Awards held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on Monday in Santa Monica, Calif.

The 46-year-old actor presented the Joel Siegel Award to his Ocean’s Thirteen costar Don Cheadle for his work “both on- and offscreen, inspiring and contributing to the good of humanity.”

Clooney, 46, is being credited with inspiring the actors’ boycott against the Golden Globe Awards.

Said one NBC executive, “We know Clooney is a major force behind this decision. He has been earbashing others who may have been willing to cross picket lines.”

It would seem that the master prankster’s plan worked! The Golden Globes were officially canceled earlier today by The Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

“We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favorite stars celebrating 2007’s outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television,” HFPA president Jorge Camara said. “We take some comfort, however, in knowing that this year’s Golden Globe Award recipients will be announced on the date originally scheduled.” (The winners will be announced during a news conference at the Beverly Hilton.)

He looks a bit like my dad, even though my dad is 62.
He’s a nice guy, but should get married already

GC for PREZ!

Seriously, I am impressed that he lobbied and took a strong stance. I am laying my bet now that he runs for a political seat by 2012 - and wins.

Yeah…i think he’s earbashing because he knows he isn’t going to win. If there was more buzz about his performance in michael clayton and more buzz about him winning, then he wouldn’t be complaining about the strike.

he’s a douche…

he looks like an old old man. wrinkle and old.

You can’t buy likeability despite what you’re PR team tells you.

He’s not looking foxy these days

yeah … but i still like him!

Gross never liked him.

Stop giving him more credit than he deserves. His rep said he did NOT play a part in people not coming to the Globes. God Jared, this is an old story. It’s hours old by now, I know you had to have seen the rep response.

he is such handsome hunk. i love him.

It’s time for him and Brad Pitt (sorry, peeps) to pass the hotness torch. Both are well past their prime.

none may be past your time, but brad is still hot, george is not.

I’m jealous of his waitress girlfriend. I thought waitressing was beneath me…I’m a fool. That’s how these chicks meet guys like him, waiting on them! Nannies, you name it. They love servitude!
Too bad he’s a dead end street when it comes to commitment.
Still so hot.

He only gets better looking…

I’m sorry but what is the difference between going to this award show and the Golden Globes? This show required writers just like the Globes did.

That Times Online article is old news and was DENIED as 100% FALSE. How could you possibly miss that?!

http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com or http://www.clooneystudio.com

he was my first teenage celebrity crush back in the 90’s.

god he may be older but he’s still got it. i would leave my husband tomorrow for this gorgeous man if he came knocking at my door. hell i wouldnt care if he was 90, bald, toothless and on a life support machine, he”d still be sexy for me.

It’s time for him and Brad Pitt (sorry, peeps) to pass the hotness torch. Both are well past their prime.

Brad is still hot, don’t know what you talking bout!!!!

So what if he did play a role! The fact is, the Writers’ Guild has issues that are important enough for them to go out on strike. They are striking against huge multi-national, multi-billion dollar corporations.
So if the Guild can put the hurt on those corporations by forcing them to cancel shows where they would have made money from the advertising dollars, maybe they will settle. Because just maybe the public will be upset missing their favorite shows and they will demand the strike gets settled. And the actors might have to go out on strike later this year so it would be nice to show their support for the writers right now. Clooney is very outspoken. I love him!!! He is smart talented rich and good looking. He also seems like a good guy.

He looks great!

Thanks Jared!!

damn, what happened to him??? i never thought he was hot but I COULD see how others could find him to be so….but now??? it’s like he jumped across the river instead of taking the bridge. i want to give him some ensure and ask him if he needs his diaper changed. gotta go put on my wrinkle cream and brush with my rembrandt now….peace.
