"You're extraordinary in every way." 02 of 08 American Cinematique Awards Gregg DeGuire/WireImage Salma Hayek (here with Mia Maestro) offered a bit of advice during her part of the presentation: "To all the girls in the world who are in love with George, I say, 'Give it up, sisters. He's the best of friends, but I think he'll make a lousy boyfriend.'" 03 of 08 American Cinematique Awards Alex Berliner/BEI The guests, who included inseparable pals Rumer Willis and Lindsay Lohan, dined on Greek salads followed by a surf-and-turf combination and a choice of tropical-fruit sorbet or chocolate-and-peanut-butter mousse for dessert. 04 of 08 American Cinematique Awards Alex Berliner/BEI The very gracious award winner stopped to chat with veteran actor Morgan Freeman as he made the rounds to thank all of the guests for coming. 05 of 08 American Cinematique Awards Alex Berliner/BEI "My first real paying job was [on ER], with me and George Clooney," said Julianna Margulies, here with former ER castmate Noah Wyle.
