George Clooney and sexy girlfriend Stacy Keibler enjoyed date night at Dan Tana's in West Hollywood Thursday night.

The Descendants actor opened the door for his lovely lady who couldn't help but flash a smile. Oh, Stacy ... you are one lucky girl!

During a recent chat with NPR, Clooney, 50, said the following about getting up there in age:

“Growing old on screen is not for the faint of heart. There’s a certain cruelty to being on a big screen as your eyelids start to sag and your hair falls out and turns gray that you either have to be able to handle or not. What you can’t do is try to force yourself into roles that you could have played or would have played 10 years earlier. You have to constantly be looking forward.”

Something tells us that the silver fox will always be sexy!

Last night George Clooney chatted with New York Times journalist David Carr at a TimesTalks Q&A session at the SilverScreen Theater in West Hollywood, and 50-year-old discussed his Oscar-nominated film, The Descendants.

But the highlight of the session, with moderator and Descendants director Alexander Payne, was Payne's lack of knowledge where classic film is concerned. The American Cinematheque put together a highlights reel of some related, classic family dramas to introduce the pair's film, and Payne admitted he saw Kramer vs. Kramer for the first time a year ago and that he'd never seen Ordinary People.

Clooney redeemed the evening, however, displaying his knowledge of these classics and commenting on his love of Dustin Hoffman's french toast-making scene in Kramer. He also said that seeing Timothy Hutton's work in Ordinary People when he was 19 years old, was the first time he seriously considered a career in acting.

George is nominated for a Best Actor award, and the film is also in the running for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Achievement in Film Editing. Think George will beat out pal Brad Pitt for the actor category? We'll find out on February 26!

An estimated 150 Academy Award nominees gathered for the annual luncheon held in their honor at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Monday, but it was Best Actor noms George Clooney and Brad Pitt who stole the show!

Clooney, who looked dapper in a dark silver suit, is expected to win the Best Actor nod for his role in The Descendants, but he says his favorite part of awards season is getting to hang out with old friends.

"A lot of people at home think we all hang out together. I think they think we're always at the Hilton drinking champagne. The truth is I hadn't seen Brad in about a year" Clooney told reports at the luncheon. "So it's fun to catch up, and it's fun to see people I like and haven't seen in a long time."

The Moneyball star also joked with reporters of his old pal, saying, "I met this guy named George. G-g-george, Jorge Clooney. Very nice guy. Very personable and very nice guy."

Meanwhile, Best Actress nominee Michelle Williams looked pretty and sweet in a 60's-inspired shift dress from Victoria Beckham's new line, "Victoria," which perfectly complimented her cute pixie 'do.

She's already won the Golden Globe, but wIll Michelle take home the Oscar for My Week With Marilyn?

A dapper George Clooney, accompanied by girlfriend Stacey Kiebler, joked with the crowd at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Friday night, about his chances against pal Brad Pitt in the upcoming awards season.

Clooney said backstage of his plans to thwart Pitt in the Golden Globes race: "I don't have any great plans yet, but I'm going to work on it. He's in a cast so he's already hobbled. He's going for the sympathy vote."

Pitt's comeback? "Absolutely. I'm going to work it for all I can get!" the actor joked.

Clooney was at the desert festival to accept the Chairman's award for his work on The Descendants and The Ides of March.
