George Clooney Jokes About 'bad Week' At Santa Barbara.

Oscar-nominee GEORGE CLOONEY was honoured at the Santa Barbara International
Film Festival on Friday (03Feb06), joking the Modern Master Award and his
three Academy Awards nominations had capped off "a bad week".

Clooney learned on Tuesday (31JAN06) he was up for three Oscars, including
Best Supporting Actor for SYRIANA and Best Director and Best Original
Screenplay for GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK, which is up for six gongs in total
at the 5 March (06) ceremony.

On Friday, Clooney's career was celebrated by SHARON STONE, film critic
LEONARD MALTIN and his Good Night, And Good Luck co-writer GRANT HESLOV at
the Santa Barbara, California festival.

Clooney says, "It's a bad week to be me. Yeah, it's been a rough time. But
I'll struggle through it. What I'll be doing is a lot of therapy. And I'll
be fine.

"This was the place that we brought Confessions (CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS
MIND), so I have a soft spot in my heart for (this) festival. They really do
embrace very different films here."

After Clooney was celebrated for choosing risky roles, he said, "And when
they talk about being brave, I don't think it's brave to make films like
these.

grapheme...
At least, in all of his joking around about other people, he does not take
himself seriously either.

SoCally...
I know. He almost has the opposite problem of most celebs -- he
probably doesn't take himself seriously enough!!!
