George Clooney, tongue firmly in cheek, said he wanted Vice President Dick Cheney to be his date at the Oscars. And Felicity Huffman said she was happy just to be going as a nominee and not a seat filler or part of the catering team.

"This is fun. ... This is the golden time," said Clooney, who is nominated in three categories: best supporting actor in "Syriana," best director for "Good Night, and Good Luck" and best original screenplay for co-writing the drama about newsman Edward R. Murrow's 1950s confrontation with Senator Joseph McCarthy.

Known as one of Hollywood's most stalwart liberals, Clooney drew a laugh at a pre-lunch press conference when he said, "I am bringing Dick Cheney as my date. He was so nice. He called me and invited me to go hunting."

The hunting reference was to Cheney's accidental shooting of a companion during a quail-hunting party over the weekend.
