A little of new Hollywood was there, but most of them were over at the MOCA gala Saturday night. For the first time since the Academy of Motion Pictures and Arts and Science's Board of Governors began bestowing their Honorary Award and The Irving G, Thalberg Awards, instead of presenting them during the LiveOscar telecast, this year the Governors Awards were handed out to Producer John Calley, actress Lauren Bacall, producer-director Roger Corman, and cinematographer Gordon Willis, along with 600 invited guests in attendance, at the Grand Ballroom at the Hollywood & Highland Center on Saturday night.

The Honorary Award, an Oscar statuette, is given to an individual for "extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the Academy.

Those on hand to honor Bacall and Corman were Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson, Angelica Houston, Gabby Sidibe, Virginia Madsen, Warren Beatty, Annett Bening, Quentin Tarantino, Jeff Bridges, Alec Baldwin, Abbie Cornish, Morgan Freeman, Ron Howard, Amy Smart, Maria Bello, Jennifer Tilly, Meg Tilly, Sally Kellerman, Marisa Tomei, Tom Ford, Nia Vardalos, Vera Farmiga and Dana Delany.

Ryan Phillippe and his girlfriend Abbie Cornish take his kids Ava Phillippe and Deacon Phillippe to a Halloween party in Brentwood, CA yesterday. Ryan managed to keep his cool and didn't confront the paparazzi, so the family actually enjoyed their day out.

Ryan's currently filming MacGruber, which is based on the Saturday Night Live skit. Ryan will be doing some of his own stunts in the film, and it looks from the photos as if Ava could be gearing up to be a stunt woman in the near future.

Someone is looking quite sexy! Ryan Phillippe demonstrated his walking talents at the LAX airport, so let's break it down, shall we?

First he has the trouble of holding his bag, which looks quite heavy, all while he's trying to look super cool by wearing shades. He also had to wait in line, try not to talk to anyone, avoid paparazzi, all while looking like a male model... I think I'm gonna give this walking a 7/10.

Obviously it's nice walking, but I feel like if he had his kids with him or had girlfriend Abbie Cornish with him, it would definitely be at a 9/10 or even a 10/10.

Hopefully Ryan will show off his walking talents again soon. He and Abbie are adorable together, so I would love to see them walking together in the future. Maybe after one of the kids little league games? I think that could work!

You may only know Abbie Cornish as the person who broke up Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon, but after reading her interview in the September issue of W magazine, I feel like we'll understand her a little better.

For a woman who rarely talks about her love life, she was a tad candid about her relationship Ryan. It wasn't just the lure of Hollywood that made the Australian actress move to LA. "I guess I was lucky because it was love that brought me here, not work. I think the city feels and looks a little bit different because of that."

When rumors began to circulate of an off-screen romance with the then married Ryan, Abbie was at a loss. "It was a really difficult time for me. It was just this world of tabloid magazines that I'd never been exposed to. In a normal successful career, someone usually learns these things bit by bit. For me, it was like night and day. I woke up one day and there was this whole new thing I had to process and deal with." She doesn't say much more about the relationship, other than they are not engaged and that she spends quite a bit of time with his children. Don't you remember? She even goes to t-ball games with them. Now that's cute.

Abbie's most recent film is one that I'm extremely excited about. Bright Star follows a romance between 19th century Romantic poet John Keats and the love his life Fanny Brawne, played by Abbie. It looks like it's going to be quite good, and the people at Cannes already love it.

However, the movie she's about to start working on seems way less entertaining. She's starring alongside Vanessa Hudgen's in the Zack Snyder flick Sucker Punch. You know, that's the one that Vanessa is gonna strip in. This movie just keeps getting odder and odder by the second. Like honestly, I don't even know.

Oh my god, I think I'm about to say it... I think a tiny part of me likes Ryan and Abbie more than Reese and Jake Gyllenhaal. Wow. I feel better now.

Well, at least Ryan Phillippe didn't charge at the paparazzi. Glad to see he's controlling some of those anger issues. The couple is spotted arriving at LAX on a flight from Vancouver.

Wow. Who thought Ryan Phillippe would be attracted to a movie version of a bad Saturday Night Live skit? Maybe he just wants to show off his comedic chops.

Phillippe is in negotiations to star in MacGruber, with Val Kilmer also in negotiations to also join the Relativity Media production, which will be filmed under Relativity's Rogue banner for distribution through Universal. Will Forte and Kristen Wiig are reprising their roles from the skits.

Easy paycheck maybe? He does have two kids to support, and he needs shower girlfriend Abbie Cornish, who he's see with here at Taste restaurant, with some gifts everyone once in awhile. After all, she does put up with his bursts of paparazzi anger.

Actor Ryan Phillippe and his girlfriend Abbie Cornish attended his son Deacon Phillippe's t-ball game along with daughter Ava Phillippe. Ryan couldn't help but coaching a little while he attended the game.

I have to say, Ryan and his ex-wife Reese Witherspoon have handled their divorce extremely well publicly. Neither has bashed on another in the press, and their children really do seem to get along with both Cornish and Reese's boyfriend Jake Gyllenhall. It's extremely refreshing to see.

It seems that Abbie Cornish tends to bring out the bad behavior in Ryan Phillippe. After hitting the red carpet for the premiere of Abbie's film Bright Star at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, Ryan and Abbie hit up the Belvedere Vodka party. Well, Ryan took advantage of the free flowing spirits and tied one on. You can see Ryan's quite wobbly in the video below.



He must have some good recovery skills, because he and Abbie hit up with Bang Bang Club Cocktail party. Cannes is one big party, so I guess Ryan's enjoying it to the fullest.

Director Jane Campion has a new film competing for the Palme D'Or award at Cannes; Bright Star, an Australian-British co-production.

Bright Star is about the love affair between poet John Keats, who died of tuberculosis in 1821 at the age of 25, and his young neighbour Fanny Brawne. English actor Ben Whishaw plays Keats and Australian Abbie Cornish plays Brawne.

The initial response from the film's first audience was respectful but muted. It was only afterwards that, among the usual divisions, many critics told Campion how moving they found it.

Bright Star's story and many of its incidents are drawn from biographies of Keats and from his letters. It is told, however, from Brawne's point of view, a position that occasionally feels off-kilter, however familiar the themes of love and loss, because it is so unusual in movies.

"It was such a great way to meet Keatsbecause she fell in love with him and, through her, so can we," says Campion.

Is Jane set to become the first female director two win two Palme D'Or awards (she one for The Piano)? She still has the distinction of being the only female director who has won.

Gallery Info: Abbie Cornish, Ben Whishaw, Phoebe Price, Eva Longoria, Tony Parker, Mathew Modine, Juliette Binoche, Yanou Collart, Jerry Lewis, Abderrahmane Sissako, Jane Champion, Barbara Mori, Giovanni Ribisi, Kerry Fox and Thomas Sangster at the Cannes premiere of Bright Star.
