The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a marvel of storytelling, special effects and acting, with an awesome performance from Brad Pitt as the eponymous character who is born an old man and becomes physically younger as the years pass by. The interiors and locations beautifully evoke the different eras the tale charts, from the First World War to the twenty-first century, but it's the film's moving portrayal of mortality that held me captivated.
Cate Blanchett gives a subtle performance as Benjamin's love interest, Daisy, and is as convincing in her portrayal of a dancer in her twenties as she is in old age.

Since I'm a romantic at heart, I couldn't resist The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The love story between Benjamin (Brad Pitt) and Daisy (Cate Blanchett), which anchors the film, swept me away, while the amazing interiors, in hotels and homes ranging from Russia to New Orleans, kept me entranced. Here, Benjamin and Daisy laze together under a canopied bed.

After arriving to lots of screams at Tokyo Airport yesterday with Angelina and all their adorable kids, Brad Pitt joined director David Fincher for a more sedate experience at The Curious Case of Benjamin Button press conference at the Grand Hyatt. As the film opens here in the UK on 6 Feb., I'm hoping Brad and Ange will be bringing their gorgeous family to our shores before they discover if all those Oscar nominations convert to wins at the ceremony on 22 Feb. The Jolie-Pitt clan will then be getting ready to settle in to their new £40million mansion in Long Island in March.

At yesterday's press conference, Brad commented on his life being as dramatic as his character Benjamin's, saying, "I have six children now so it doesn't get more dramatic than that."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made for a picture-perfect couple in Paris today at yet another premiere of Benjamin Button. The events must be even more fun now that the film has raked in 13 Oscar nominations, but it's an equally great day for Angelina, who scored a nod for Changeling. When asked how the actors feel about their respective honors, they said:
- Angelina: "Working with Clint Eastwood was a reward in itself that will last me a lifetime.

Brad Pitt and his friend Benjamin Button director, David Fincher, awkwardly posed together at their photo call in Paris earlier today. Note: it looks like Mr. Pitt may have been a bit forgetful when he put on his pants since they're unzipped — oops. While it may have been afternoon there, early this morning in LA both men were nominated for Oscars.

After their dinner date this weekend, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got dressed up for the Benjamin Button premiere in Berlin today. His mustache isn't gone yet, but it is a trimmed-down version. Angelina smiled big and flashed one bling earring to go with her cream pantsuit and loose updo while signing autographs and posing with fans.

The movie scored all the big Golden Globe nominations walking away with five total.
