By George! Mr. Clooney shocked many an Oscar viewer Sunday night when he was
seemingly unamused by hosts Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin's repeated digs at
him. But a source close to the "Up in the Air" actor tells us that he was
playing along, too.
"It was something George and Alec agreed upon," says the insider, adding that
when the cameras weren't on Clooney, he and the "30 Rock" actor were making
faces at each other. "It was a 'follow-my-lead' sort of thing."
The same can't be said for Sean Penn, who by all accounts wasn't making any sort
of joke when he presented the award for Best Actress and made a bizarre speech.
"I never became an official member of the academy, but the academy and I do have
in common that we neglected to acknowledge the same actress in our own ways two
years running," he said to a silent crowd.
Word surfaced Monday that he was alluding to his soon-to-be ex-wife Robin Wright
Penn, who was absent from this year's nominations despite her acclaimed role in
"The Secret Lives of Pippa Lee."
