George Clooney & Elisabetta Canalis: Film Critic Couple

George Clooney and his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis attend the 2009 New York Film Critics Circle Awards in New York City on Monday night (January 11).

The 48-year-old actor grabbed the Best Actor honor at the awards event for his role in Up In The Air.

At the event, George shared with ET how he feels about the New York Film Critics Circle event.

“Well it’s fun,” said George. “I’ve sort of been around it a couple of times and I sort of know what to do and what not to do… every time they’re nice to you, you just say, ‘Thank you,’ and remember when they’re not nice to you.”

FYI: Elisabetta is wearing a Roberto Cavalli coat and pants and Giuseppe Zanotti Design shoes and clutch.
