"Like many of you, I have not yet seen the tree of life yet, but I have heard is very good," joked the actor when he took the stage to collect his award. "I want to thank my colleagues, Amy Pascal, Sean Penn, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jonah Hill, Jessica Chastain ... Seven movies in 2011 and five this year. It's impressive!" He added before the watchful eye of Angelina Jolie , that he did not separate from his side or a single moment or stop applauding him. "I think all parents are happening to them. When you have young children these things become common," said the actress, who on the occasion wore a pink ELIE Saab dress with 'halter' neck and discovered back. "Vivienne is perfectly and now we are focused on preparing the Zahara party that tomorrow turns eight years old," she added.
