Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt continued their recent red-carpet run with an appearance at the In the Land of Blood and Honey premiere in Washington DC this evening. Angelina covered up her vintage dress with a Michael Kors coat while Brad went with a Tom Ford suit and his latest accessory, a cane. The night was all about Angelina after Brad took the spotlight at their last two events. Yesterday, the couple popped up in the Big Apple for the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, where Brad was recognized for best actor in both Moneyball and The Tree of Life. He accepted another award for those movies over the weekend at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. It’s just the beginning of a long award season for the duo, though Angelina shared that they’ve been more focused on family activities, like Zahara’s birthday, than their public appearances.

One of the esteemed honorees of the evening, Michelle Williams looked picture perfect in Prada at the 23rd Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala on Saturday night (January 7).

The 31-year-old actress took the Palm Springs Convention Center stage to be presented with the Desert Palm Achievement award for her work in the movie “My Week with Marilyn”.

Being doted with the trophy by her “Marilyn” co-star Kenneth Branagh, Miss Williams said she was “suddenly overwhelmed” as she took to the podium before offering a heartfelt thank you to Branagh.

Turning to her castmate, Michelle warmly said, “He was the most extraordinary partner to work alongside and the only difficult thing about it was laying down my awe at being in a scene with him.”

Williams kindly added, “Thank you for those words, for that heart, for that wit, for that talent and for being by my side in our work and in our lives.”
