TIME TO GO: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were the last to arrive at the Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica - and reportedly delayed the start of the show.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt delayed the Critics Choice Awards ceremony by arriving late.
The Hollywood couple were the last to arrive on the red carpet in Santa Monica last night but Angelina insisted on posing for photographs, despite Brad's reluctance.
A source said: "Angelina and Brad were the last to arrive. The organisers were shouting, 'The show is starting! Everyone has to come inside now!' But Angelina stopped to pose and answer questions.
"Brad whispered to her, 'Do you have to go do your thing?' She replied, 'Just for a minute.' "
Angelina, looking chic in a trenchcoat, was nominated for the Best Actress award for her portrayal of grieving widow Marianne Pearl in 'A Mighty Heart'.
She was consoled by a goateed Brad when she lost out to Julie Christie, who won for her role as a wife suffering from Alzheimer's in 'Away From her'.
Daniel Day-Lewis was awarded Best Actor for his new film 'There Will Be Blood' and indie-film 'Juno', about teenage-pregnancy, was named Best Comedy.
The Coen brother's new film 'No Country for Old Men' swept the board, winning Best Picture and Best Director, while Javier Bardem won Best Supporting Actor for his role in the movie.
George Clooney, Katie Holmes, Don Cheadle and British comedian Eddie Izzard also attended the event, as did Sean Penn, whose new film 'Into The Wild' had seven nominations.
Clooney acknowledged the on-going Hollywood writers' strike, which has led to this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony being cancelled.
He said on stage: "When the strike happens, it's not just writers affected.
Our hope is that all the players will lock themselves in a room and not come out until they finish. We want this to be done. That's the most important thing."
Clooney presented his 'Ocean's Thirteen' co-star Cheadle with the Joel Siegel Award - named after the late ABC movie critic - for his humanitarian work.
