Star-studded event to Honor Actress Julia Roberts inspires raunchy humor

It airs last week's that presentation of the American Cinematheque Award to Julia Roberts on Dec. 5.

Mike Nichols began his remarks by quoting David Mamet like : "'Film is a collaborative medium: Bend over.'"



Nichols to the star of his upcoming "Charlie Wilson's War said "Those words have been a solace to me a thousand times,". "I offer them to you in the same spirit."

Natalie Portman also recalled the time she gave Roberts a wildly vulgar necklace, with the honoree returning the favor.



When Most of the tributes were in person, the best of those on video came from George Clooney and Brad Pitt, who praised Roberts while delivering a really funny re-enactment of Sen. Larry Craig's airport bathroom imbroglio.

Herb Ross was also remembered not so fondly as Roberts' "Steel Magnolias" co-star Sally Field took the stage and referred to Ross as "our not-so-very-nice director." Shirley MacLaine echoed the sentiment when she categorized him as a bully who didn't know what he wanted.



Others representative who took the stage at the event, which netted roughly $1 million, included Cinematheque president Henry Shields, board chair Rick Nicita, Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, Dermot Mulroney and Denzel Washington.
