The Big Stars Come Out For The Critic’s Choice Awards
Friday, January 9th, 2009Anne Hathaway and Angelina after Anne kicked Ange’s butt in the Best Actress category.
Last night was a night of high fashion, fabulousness, and surprises. The Critic’s Choice Awards was officially the season opener for awards of film. And as many of you know, to win a Critic’s Choice Award is often times an appetizer to the big Oscar protein shake and potatoes prize.
The big wigs were out in droves mingling and meshing with each other, but as expected, all eyes were on the PDA love birds Brangelina. And despite the fact that both Brad and Ange went home empty handed, the affection that went on between the rumored “married” couple was either nauseating or sweet, depending on the onlooker.
An inside witness told US Weekly that Jolie whispered to Pitt, “I miss you” even though they were sitting next to each other and even shared that at one point, Brad had his hand all the way up Angelina’s dress! Ummm, hello!!! Get a room you horny little teenage-wannabes!
The tear-jerker of the evening was the post-humus award win for Heath Ledger’s supporting role performance in “The Dark Knight”. Heath’s co-star Aaron Eckhart raved about Heath Ledger’s work in “The Dark Knight”. “I feel like Heath Ledger put in a beautiful performance, and it’s just amazing that fans and critics are recognizing that. It’s just tremendous.” And it was a fabulous performance indeed!
