Angelina Jolie attended the Hollywood Film Festival’s Gala Ceremony last night in Beverly Hills. She was accompanied by director Clint Eastwood, who was honored with the director of the year award – Angelina was the one who presented him with the award.
During the presentation, Angelinasaid:
“There are some people in this business that are icons, and we often wonder if, when we meet them, they’ll live up to what we imagine them to be. And Clint Eastwood in person is even better… Clint is what every great director should be. He is a great leader. And I certainly would follow him anywhere.”
Upon accepting the award, Clint Eastwood then said:
“Working with someone like Angelina Jolie is a great privilege, because you get to look on that gorgeous beauty every day. And she’s a great talent.”
(Thank you, Angela, for the two quotes!)
Angelina looked beautiful in a simple long black dress. I’m really liking her hair this color as well.
Changeling pulled in more than $300,000 last weekend; while that’s not a huge amount, it’s very impressive considering that it only opened in a very limited number of theaters. It’s off to a good start for its official opening this coming Friday.

You know what I think? I think she uses her travels as an opportunity to catch up on lost sleep. Don´t forget she doesn´t travel economy. So she probably uses the time she has to spend on an airplane to sleep, and thus looks rested when the rest of us would have been wrecked!
At least that´s what I would do if I was her!
awwwww – I cant stop smiling widely just reading about this AND seeing how happy Angelina is in the photos. Thanks so much Sherry, and ‘Angela’.
Think that Angela really truly would have wanted to present this award to Clint, but maybe she couldnt be 100% certain to promise to do so – who could with newborn twins and 4 other young children – but I imagine the children are all well and this enabled her to get to to L.A for Clint’s award. She looks so happy, and maybe this is what gives her all the energy – sheer happiness, and of course her love and respect for Clint.
She is a true inspiration to us all.
Expect she was back on the plane within hours of this ceremony !!!!!
Am tired just reading about her travels. :lol
I love the dress, classic black and kind of Grecian
style
Angie is amazing. A wonderful mother, a generous humanitarian, a talented actress, a passionate companion and a smart pr person. We’ll keep on guessing where she will be next?
Thanks Sherry.
Clint is funny. His wife Dina and their daughter were at the photoshoot for the USA Today article (there photos of all of them together – Clint surrounded by 3 females). He told Angie that Dina and their daughter wanted to see the twins, and that he did too but he didn’t want to say it.
I think Clint Eastwood is being very smart and savvy. He’s addressed the issue of Angelina’s beauty and talent head on in his usual straightforward way. Impressed with her work ethic, and always the straight shooter, he’s basically letting the reviewers/critics and audience know to not let Angelina’s other-worldly beauty and the tabloid chatter get in the way of appreciating her talent and acting chops.
Having it out in the open allows the audience and reviewers freedom to focus on Angelina’s performance, instead of her lips and lipstick.
Beautiful Angie. Thanks Sherry.
Looks beautiful as always. Thanks Sherry.

UNDER MOD: early non-spoiler review
I know some of us were lucky enough to see Changeling this weekend. I’m curious about your impressions – just in general so we don’t spoil it for pittwatchers who’re seeing it this coming weekend when it opens wide in 1800-1900 theaters.
My husband and I really liked Changeling, as much as we liked A Mighty Heart – very different movies with the one thing in common of Angelina grieving and searching for a loved one suddenly lost.
Changeling is a very old fashioned movie told in an old-fashioned way. It’s not like L.A. Confidential that has the same time period and subject, because L.A. Confidential was filmed from a modern sensibility – i.e., we look at what’s happening using our modern values.
Changeling plays like a movie made in that era. It’s a lot like the “women’s weepies” – melodramas from the 1940s that I loved so much, with heroines facing tremendous odds. We become immersed in that world where the good guys are good guys, and the bad guys are bad guys. It was very clear, there wasn’t any ambiguity. The westerns, war movies, gangster movies I used to see as a kid were black and white like that, and not just the kind of film.
The Friday matinee was about half full, and people clapped. The evening show was ¾ full, some clapped. Lots of sniffling in both shows.
The trailers were Gran Torino (Clint in his senior Dirty Harry mode), CCBB, and Australia – the audience liked them all.
Thanks for the pics and quotes, Sherry & Angela. Thanks Lili May for rallying the fans!
Changeling did grrrrrrrrrrrrreat this limited opening weekend – the highest per screen average of all limited screen movies.
We did GOOD! Variety, Hollywood Reporter:
Universal got spectacular results from 15 runs of “Changeling” in nine markets. The Clint Eastwood-helmed pic bowed with $502,000, or $33,441 per house (the highest of all the limited run movies). WOOHOO!

Thanks for the pictures Sherry! Angie looks lovely, as usual! People.com reports that her appearance “was so unexpected, the A-list crowd gasped audibly when she was introduced”. I’d love to see/hear that reaction on a video, if there’s one.
Hello to all Pittwatchers! Let’s all try to watch Changeling this weekend!
My goodness, all that traveling. She looks so beautiful. Because Brad is working, it looks like Angie is getting some help with the kids. This is good. I know that she and Brad wanted to do it all on their own, but this way I think is fine.
Gorgeous dress! Simple is always the best and she knows how to keep it simple, elegant and classy like no one else in Hollywood. Of course, that gorgeous face, like Clint said and that confident attitude that she always has are a big plus to the overall aspect.
I also think that Angie may have found in Clint what she should have had in Jon Voight. The father figure.
are agreeing with her :)
Angie looks fresh and lovely to me, and considering all the flying (France, Germany, NY RC, back to France, Germany Afghanistan, now in LA) that she has done (in less than 4 weeks, New York RC was 10/4) plus twin newborns and 4 children and Brad. Its amazing that (to me) she does not look tired and looks so good. I love this hair color on her. Like fan from Vietnam said “Absolutely no sign of fatigue on her face! ” She is looking more like her mom in every new picture I see. It looks like her life and her good works is agreeing with her :) amazing young woman.
Wow, she is tireless. Is she back in Berlin? Good actress & good director, are we expecting Oscar for both of them? God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.
i think these awards were in L.A (beverly hills) on monday night,not NY.
Thanks, Sherry, for the great pictures and Angela, for the beautiful quotes. After working on the movie they apparently have become good friends who show great admiration and respect for each other. In one of the photos Angie even had tears in her eyes during her speech about Clint Eastwood. What she said about him was very touching.
Angie looks strikingly beautiful as always. I am also amazed at her ability to work so hard and still look so beautiful. Couldn’t believe she has just got back to Berlin from Afghanistan and now in NY. Absolutely no sign of fatigue on her face!
I cannot believe there are no negative comments on this page. Thank goodness, for a change.
