Brush with fame: George Clooney and more!

It didn't used to be this way.  Canadians didn't gather around to scream at the likes of George Clooney like he was some sort of Beatles member.  At least, I don't remember that from my early days at the festival.  They sure do now, though.

George showed up sporting a gauze wrap on his right hand (no word on what that was about) for the screening of Up in the Air, along with numerous others, including cast and friends alike.  Others present at this screening were director Jason Reitman, cast members Jason Bateman, Anna Kendrick, and Vera Farmiga.  Even Scott Bakula, who had nothing to do with the movie as far as I know, showed up.  He asked if the seats behind us were taken and got turned away.  Sorry, Scott.
