It was a nervous night for George Clooney as he went up for a Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay at the Academy Awards.
And despite losing out on the Best Actor accolade, Clooney's girlfriend Stacy Keibler made sure he went home with an Oscar of his own as her dress appeared to have been inspired by the statuette.
Attending her first Academy Awards on Clooney's arm, Keibler looked stunning in a gold Grecian-style Marchesa creation.
The former wrestler, 32, teamed her floor-length gown with matching high heeled sandals, Judith Leiber clutch bag, drop Lorraine Schwartz earrings and her golden hair wavy and swept to the side.
Meanwhile, her boyfriend, 50, looked suitably dapper in his black Armani suit.
Clooney was up for Best Actor for The Descendants and Best Adapted Screenplay for Ides Of March at this year's ceremony.
The actor has already got one Academy Award under his belt - Best Supporting Actor for Syriana in 2006.
Clooney's latest nod is his third Academy Award Best Actor nomination - he was previously nominated for Up In The Air and Michael Clayton.
He's also been nominated for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for Good Night And Good Luck in 2005.
Talking to reporters on the red carpet, Clooney joked that his 5ft 11in girlfriend - who would have been even taller in her heels - had hit her head on a blimp on the way into the Kodak Theatre.
Ahead of the ceremony, an excited Keibler tweeted: 'We are off!!!! I feel like I'm going to the prom. #oscars SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!'
Keibler's Oscars date came a day after she posed for a shoot with Vanity Fair magazine.
Since she started dating Clooney in August, Keibler's stock in Hollywood has risen sharply.
She's become a regular on the red carpet as Clooney's date and her recent Vanity Fair shoot is testimony to her rising star.
Clooney has previously attended the Oscars with Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis (2010) and Las Vegas waitress Sarah Larson (2008).
