Said Ellen, 21, “This award feels really, really special. There was a very pleasant energy in the room . And it has been nice wearing pants and flats, but I love the (vintage) dress I’m wearing on Sunday.”

Juno also earned Diablo Cody a best original screenplay Spirit award– she’s tipped to pick up on Oscar today. Page is also nominated for best actress at the Oscars.

Is that one-shoulder pose code for something??

Juno cutie Ellen Page presents the award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Commercials Award to Danish director Nicolai Fuglsig at the 2008 Directors Guild Awards (DGA) Awards held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel on Saturday in Los Angeles.

Fuglsig was the crazy one who did the Sony Balls ad and the super-expensive Guinness advert featuring a large-scale domino game.

And for kicks, below is The Moldy Peaches performing “Anyone Else But You” off the Juno soundtrack. If you’re a hardcore video gamer, I’m sure you can really appreciate this portion of the song:

Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn’t mean we’re not smart
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

GENIUS!!!!!

Newsweek has put together its 2008 Oscar roundtable including Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Daniel Day-Lewis, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard and James McAvoy.

Angie on A Mighty Heart:
“I was comfortable when Mariane [Pearl] was comfortable. But I wasn’t so comfortable the first day of shooting, when I realized his style was so unbelievably raw. There is often no rehearsal, no one saying “cut.” For example, you have three different rooms, and we would go into one room and we’d be talking, say our five lines, and he’d film us. Then I’d go pee, and I’d come out, and the camera was still on. So I’d think, “OK …” Then I’d say my five lines again, and that would turn into 10 more minutes of talking, and then someone would go get something from the kitchen and I’d go to my bedroom, and he’d follow me and he just wouldn’t leave. It was really odd. But it became just the most perfect way to shoot that film. It was chaos in that moment. It was very intimate, and my big fear was that something horrible might happen and the camera would be like this. [She gestures as though there's a camera right in her face] But everybody was absolutely connected in every single moment. Even when we’d have lunch, we’d have it together at the table, or we’d all go for a walk together. We were just always present in the film. And so as an actor it brought me back to loving acting, and that was just great. But he does cross a line. One day one of the girls got sick and threw up, and he said, “Next time, tell us.” So he can be a little crazy. But I absolutely adore him.”
