Rumoured to be in attendance at the Royal Opera House for the ceremony tonight: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and us ex-wrestler girlfriend Stacey Keibler (second thoughts, best not mess with her); Michelle Williams, up for a gong for Marilyn, and Meryl Streep, nominated for the Iron Lady.
