While some celebs were busy celebrating their Golden Globe noms, George Clooney (also nominated for Michael Clayton) is in Rome with gal pal Sarah Larson and Don Cheadle.
The two Ocean’s 13 stars received the Peace Summit Award at the opening of the 2007 World Summit of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates.
Here’s some of what the Cloonster said to the crowd:
-”I have to tell you when Don and I got the call to come here, it was a little bit intimidating… the group of people that we would be standing in front of… this group right here… all individually have been celebrated for making part of the world better. For saving lives. And for succeeding wildly in the face of immeasurable odds.”- “Don and I on the other hand…stand here before you as failures. The simple truth is that when it comes to the atrocities in Darfur…those people are not better off now than they were years ago.
- “The murders continue. The rapes continue. And some 2 ½ million refugees are yet to go home.”
