The mutual love between George Clooney and his "Ocean's Eleven" co-star Brad Pitt is anything but new. But on Sunday night (January 15), their love was on full-display as the pals put on some major emotional PDA for Golden Globe viewers.
In pop culture, three's a trend, and if that's the case, consider the Pitt/Clooney bromance incredibly trendy.
Walking out with a cane, an obvious friendly jab at Pitt's current use of a cane, Clooney brought the first bromantic moment when he presented the video package paying homage to his friend's Golden Globe-nominated film, "Moneyball."
"I have to give it back to him or he can't make it to the bar otherwise," Clooney said of the cane. "It's been called a baseball movie that's not a baseball movie because it transcends the sport. This a David and Goliath story of a general manager, his assistant and a failing Oakland A's team who takes on powerhouse teams like the New York Yankees. It's a movie about turning conventional wisdom on its head. And it's nominated for four Golden Globes, including ones for Jonah Hill and some up-and-comer named Brad Pitt."
Pitt then showed Clooney some love back when he hit the stage to present the package for the Clooney-directed "The Ides of March." "Young, idealistic campaign workers and dirty politics are the focus of a movie that shows how the desire for power can corrupt anyone in the political process," he said. "Ryan Gosling is nominated tonight for acting and co-star George Clooney received Golden Globes nominations for his writing and directing of the film."
The final shout-out of the night came when Clooney won for Best Actor -- Drama for his work in "The Descendants," beating out Pitt. While Pitt may not have won, his presence was felt on the stage.
"Wow, well, that's the funny thing about evenings like this. You get the chance to catch up with old friends and see people that you haven't seen in a long time," he said before diving into the compliments for Pitt. "I wanted to say it's nice to see Brad and it's nice to be able to tell him not just what wonderful work he's doing in two films this year, but also what wonderful work he does in the world to the rest of the people. I'm a fan," he added, before also praising "Shame" star Michael Fassbender for his own talents in the frontal-nudity department.
In the weeks leading up to the show, Clooney was poised for many a "death match" at the onslaught of awards season.
