It's already over? So he's in NY and free for the rest of the evening?

His hair was absolutely the right length during the UK press junket for Shame. He looked perfect in the Empire magazine interview, for example.

Keira and Carey presented his NBR award. "If I had to be spanked by anyone, I'm glad it was you."

I actually like the short hair (though, I'm a fan of the longer hair - a la Shame/X-Men) but I always find it refreshing whenever he changes it up.

And yeah, I'm tired of seeing George Clooney getting nominated and awarded for playing George Clooney in films. Why anyone would rather focus their attention on him and his beard for hire (aka Stacy what's her name) over the hottest "new" talent in the game, is beyond my ability to comprehend.

I'm not bitter at all.:smile1:

Well said ! ;)

I'll have the new flavour of the year over the same old crap of the decade any day.
Too much Clooney is more than what I can handle at this point :nono: (Best Actor & Best Director nods at the GG, really? :rofl:)
He surely can nab great roles in Hollywood but his status prevents him from ever shining on screen (fame costing him his chameleon quality).
Looking back to his career, I've concluded that there are three types of Clooney movies:

1. Clooney as a wacko character - aka a crazy version of George Clooney ('From Dusk Til Dawn', 'Leatherheads', any Coen Brothers collaboration).
2. Clooney as a charismatic leader or handsome badass - aka a George Clooney version of George Clooney ('Ocean's 11', 'Michael Clayton', 'The Men Who Stare at Goats', 'The American', 'The Ides of March').
3. Clooney as a Regular Joe - aka an emotional version of George Clooney ('Syriana', 'Up in the Air', 'The Descendants').



Great actors (Fassbender, Oldman, Shannon) don’t need PR games to get media attention.
So-so actors (Clooney, Pitt, Dicaprio) do, enough said. :smile1:
