American
actor
George
Clooney,
who
was
at
the
72nd
Golden
Globe
award
ceremony
to
receive
the
prestigious
Cecil
B.
DeMille
Lifetime
Achievement
honour,
was
uninhibited
in
professing
his
love
for
wife
Amal
Amaluddin
while
on
stage.
While
concluding
his
speech,
Clooney
could
not
help
but
make
a
mention
of
human
rights
lawyer
Alamuddin,
who
sat
in
the
audience
and
blushed
at
her
husband's
compliments.
Earlier
on
during
the
ceremony,
hosts
Tina
Fey
and
Amy
Poehler
had
joked
about
the
couple,
who
got
married
in
Venice
September
2014.
Dissing
George
Clooney
over
his
lifetime
achievements,
Tina
Fey
took
a
dig
at
the
American
actor,
director
and
producer.
"George
Clooney
married
Amal
Alamuddin
this
year," said
Fey,
and
added:
"Amal
is
a
human
rights
lawyer,
who
worked
on
the
Enron
case,
was
an
adviser
to
Kofi
Annan
regarding
Syria
and
was
selected
for
a
three-person
UN
commission
investigating
rules
of
war
violations
in
the
Gaza
strip.
"So
tonight
her
husband
is
getting
a
lifetime
achievement
award."
However,
Clooney
ignored
the
joke
and
took
it
laughingly
when
Tina
said
this
during
the
opening
monologue.
In
his
Lifetime
Achievement
award
speech,
the
53-year-old
actor
thanked
his
film
fraternity
for
keeping
"small
films
alive"
and
also
referred
to
last
week's
terrorist
attacks
in
Paris.
"Today
was
an
extraordinary
day,
there
were
millions
of
people
who
marched
not
just
in
Paris
but
around
the
world,
and
they
were
Christians
and
Jews
and
Muslims,
they
were
leaders
of
countries
all
over
the
world
and
they
didn't
march
in
protest,"
he
said.
In
his
speech,
George
Clooney
also
showed
love
for
his
wife,
Amal
Clooney.
The
newly
wed
actor
thanked
his
wife,
Amal
Alamuddin
aka
Amal
Clooney
for
her
love.
"It's
a
humbling
thing
to
find
someone
to
love.
Amal,
I
couldn't
be
prouder
to
be
your
husband."
He
finishes
with
a
description
of
the
anti-terror
march
in
Paris
and
signed
off
the
stage
saying
"Je
Suis
Charlie.""They
marched
in
support
of
the
idea
that
we
will
not
walk
in
fear.
So
Je
suis
Charlie."
Clooney,
a
four-time
Golden
Globe
winner,
is
also
a
two-time
Oscar
winner.
During
his
career,
he
has
appeared
in
over
40
films
and
TV
shows.
He
attained
star
status
with
the
1990s
TV
drama
"ER"
before
moving
on
to
pursue
a
career
in
films.
As
a
director,
he
has
five
features
to
his
credit.
These
include
"Good
Night
and
Good
Luck,"
"The
Ides
of
March"
and
"The
Monuments
Men".
Apart
from
his
contribution
to
the
world
of
cinema,
Clooney
was
chosen
for
the
honour
because
of
his
humanitarian
work,
particularly
in
Darfur
and
Sudan.
The
actor
was
introduced
to
the
stage
by
his
"ER"
co-star
Julianna
Marguiles.
"In
an
industry
where
it
is
so
easy
to
lose
touch
with
who
you
are
and
what
really
matters,
he
has
never
been
anything
but
real,"
she
said
in
her
introductory
message.
