Seth MacFarlane Tossed George Clooney A Bottle Of Alcohol At The Oscars

Kirsten Acuna | Feb. 24, 2013, 9:58 PM | 332 |


Seth MacFarlane threw the actor a small bottle of whiskey early during the Oscars.

Seconds earlier, the Academy Awards host threw a jab at the actor while discussing youngest Oscar nominee, Quvenzhané Wallis.

Here's the line that caused Seth to toss Clooney the bottle:

"In 16 years Quvenzhané Wallis will be too young to date George Clooney."

Clooney looked like he couldn't wait to get it open.

George Clooney poses for a picture with his girlfriend Stacy Keibler at the 2013 Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday (February 24) in Hollywood.

The 51-year-old actor rocked a Giorgio Armani suit, while his 33-year-old gal wore a Naeem Khan dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, Lorraine Schwartz jewels, and a Tiffany & Co bag.

George is nominated tonight for his eighth Academy Award.

HOLLYWOOD — The red carpet is in some ways a microcosm of the Oscar food chain.

The first nominees arrive two and a half hours before the show is to begin. These are the people who worked on live-action shorts and documentary features and foreign-language films and animated shorts and documentary shorts.

The last nominees show up as cameras are being shut down, notebooks and microphones are being stashed and everyone is scrambling to get in place for the show.

George Clooney brought up the rear Sunday.

In between came the parade of nominees and other celebrities: some dashing, some taking their time. Mind you, I'm talking from the perspective of the print journalists who were stationed past the sharp right-hand turn after the carpet walkers have entered near the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue and passed through the long gantlet along Hollywood. When they see us, they can also see the entrance of the theater/mall complex.

But many stopped anyway, in large part because the most popular entertainment print journalist on the planet, Baz Bamigboye of London's Daily Mail, has the ability to call out to superstars and have Steven Spielberg come over to slap him a high five and Daniel Day-Lewis to shake his hand and to apologize for having to enter the theater: “I'm going. I'm going. Please. Please.”

Seriously, if you ever get this gig, stand next to Baz.

Jennifer Lawrence (“Silver Linings Playbook” actress nominee) came by, as seemingly candid and refreshing as ever, saying, “I'm feeling very excited that it's all over — and very hungry. I forgot about eating till I got in the car.”

Then Kristen Stewart limped up on crutches, and the two young actresses who anchor franchises (“The Hunger Games” for Lawrence, “Twilight” for Stewart) exchanged hugs and greetings while everyone around them snapped photos and tried to get Stewart to spill what was up with the crutches. (She wasn't talking.)

Anne Hathaway (“Les Miserables”) was having her fab dress admired when she said, “I'm simultaneously holding my breath and breathing 'cause I'm singing later.”

Fellow supporting actress nominee Helen Hunt of “The Sessions” was more into talking about her film than clothes; her handler informed us her dress was from H&M.

Best song nominee Adele (“Skyfall”) zipped by, but the singer of perhaps the greatest James Bond theme, 76-year-old Shirley Bassey (“Goldfinger,” as well as “Diamonds Are Forever” and “Moonraker”), fought off shivers as she anticipated singing something gold-themed during the show's Bond segment.

Dennis Kucinich popped by. As did Rupert Murdoch. Newscaster Robin Roberts received repeated ovations upon her glamorous return from a cancer battle, and she and Halle Berry exchanged hugs.

Daniel Radcliffe revealed that this was his first Oscars and that he'd be all nerves till his job was done — he was in the opening musical sequence. Catherine Zeta-Jones, with hubby Michael Douglas on her arm, was there to perform in the musicals tribute.

Jessica Chastain, best actress nominee for “Zero Dark Thirty” and another performer who gives off a genuinely warm vibe, discussed how the day after being up for supporting actress last year for “The Help,” she was on 25 hours’ of plane flights to film “Zero Dark Thirty.”

This year she said Oscar Monday would be a day of rest — but first, an awards show beckoned.

George Clooney, Stacy Keibler Oscars 2013: Now That's A Good-Looking Couple

The Huffington Post | By Leigh Blickley

Posted: 02/24/2013

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler made their second Oscars appearance together tonight -- except this time Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie weren't there to join them.

The pair, who have been dating since July 2011, were lovely as they walked the red carpet at the 2013 Academy Awards. Clooney, who produced Best Picture nominee "Argo" alongside director Ben Affleck, was all smiles as he escorted his 33-year-old girlfriend into the theater.

The 51-year-old actor looked dapper in a tuxedo, while Keibler wowed in a studded, sequiny grey gown.

And although Clooney has been honest about his opinion on marriage, it appears he's head over heels for Keibler. (As he should be).

Oscars Red Carpet: George Clooney Hug Bombs Ben Affleck

February 24, 2013 Academy Awards

“Extra’s” Mario Lopez was catching up with Ben Affleck on the 2013 Oscars red carpet when their interview was hug bombed! The two were chatting and out of nowhere George Clooney interrupted for a squeeze. George, who produced Affleck’s Best Picture contender “Argo,” joked that their beards got velcroed together.

Ben compared being at the Oscars to being at a championship sporting event, “This is the World Series, feels like the Super Bowl, no one’s going to put me on a football so team, so this is what I got.”

The filmmaker wasn’t the only Affleck competing for an award on Sunday. Just a few hours before the Academy Awards, Ben accompanied his daughter Violet to her spelling bee competition -- where she picked up the winning prize.

George Clooney Introduces The In Memoriam Segment
Clooney, staying classy, says, "Thank you for the memories."

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

The clumsiest part of any Oscar telecast is the In Memoriam segment. Either the crowd starts up an applause contest, or the list of the dearly departed leaves out someone who had a real impact with viewers.

Tonight, George Clooney introduced the somber segment as if he were reading a cereal commercial. C'mon, George, puts some emotion into it. You do have an Oscar, remember?

The segment wrapped with an image of the late Marvin Hamlisch giving way to Barbra Streisand in silhouette. Yes, Babs is back for Oscar night, and she turned in a lovely, personal version of Hamlisch's The Way We Were.

Once again, on a night filled with stale boob jokes and even more stale Jewish jokes, real talent gave us a reprieve.
