On January 15th, George Clooney did not yet know he would be nominated for his role in "Michael Clayton," but he probably had a pretty good idea.  That evening, he nabbed the Best Actor award at the National Board of Review Awards in New York City.  On his way to the event (accompanied by his lady Sarah Larson), Clooney stopped to pose for photos and sign autographs for his many fans.

Maybe Johnny Depp is just a bit stressed about the whole affair.  On January 29th, the Depp jumped out of his vehicle to snap at a couple of photographers.  Maybe he had some lingering characteristics of the ill-tempered Sweeney Todd, the role for which he is nominated.

We've two days until the residents of Hollywoodland flock to AA.  No, the original AA.  The Academy Awards.

A very preggers Cate Blanchett got ready for the Oscars by doing some laundry on February 15th.  The past winner and, now, doubly-nominated Cate might have a "been there, done that" attitude when it comes to Mr. O.

Nominee Marion Cotillard rehearsed her potential role as Oscar-winning-superstar by flexing her phalange at a Parisian airport on February 8th.

And Laura Linney checked out Betty Jackson's duds at London Fashion Week on the 12th.  Think she found a red carpet-worthy gown?
