Other highlights from the ceremony included Julia Roberts making her first appearance since welcoming her and Danny Moder’s twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, now both 21. The Pretty Woman star presented pal George Clooney with the ceremony’s Freedom Award for his direction in Good Night, and Good Luck!
After he accepted the award, George of course expressed gratitude for the achievement, but also couldn’t help but use his speech to ask his Ocean’s Eleven costar, “How are the twins?”
Last year, George went on to star in a stage adaptation of the film on Broadway, marking his debut.
“It’s scary,” the ER alum admitted of acting on the stage to CBS last year. “I haven’t done a play in 40 years, so it’s one of those things where, and I’ve never done the Broadway play, so I’m, of course, you know, petrified to do it. But it’s not such a bad thing.”
