2009 Critics Choice Awards

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie didn't win at the Critics' Choice Awards, but it was still a busy night for the power couple. After lighting up the red carpet, they signed posters and mingled with fellow actors like Brad's Button costar Taraji Henson. Angelina also mentioned her plans to take on fewer projects in the future and gushed about Brad's performance in the movie. She said, "When I first saw the film, there were a lot of blue masks that they had to put on his face, so the first half I didn't see his acting inside the little guy. Then, when I saw him when he was young . . . he is just so charming. I was really moved. I thought he was wonderful." Somehow we're not surprised that seeing Brad go back to his younger years was fun for Angelina, and it sounds like she's perfectly happy to keep watching her man work as she takes a break.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie decided one red carpet was enough for them last night, but many other celebrities headed to the afterparty once the Critics' Choice Awards were over. Aaron Eckhart looked very happy after Dark Knight scored a few wins, including a moving one for his costar Heath Ledger. Presenters Josh Brolin and Kate Beckinsale cozied up to their spouses, and gorgeous Freida Pinto had a huge smile on her face after Slumdog Millionaire took home five awards including best picture, director, and young actor. The mood of the night was celebratory, but hopefully everyone saved up some of their energy when the party continues this Sunday at the Golden Globes.

Jason Alexander opened the event asking Brad and Angelina to adopt him before Ben Stiller took home the first award of the night for Tropic Thunder as the Best Comedy. The most moving moment was when Heath Ledger won and director Chris Nolan accepted his award with a standing ovation from the crowd. Anne Hathaway tied with Meryl Streep for best actress and in her speech she excitedly rambled in a heartfelt way, ending with a part about her father protecting her and proving that there are good, strong, loving men out there. Milk and Slumdog Millionaire were big winners with multiple wins while Richard Gere received the special Joel Siegel award for his offscreen efforts.
