The 46-year-old actor – who was nominated for the Best Actor award for Michael Clayton – arrived at the prestigious Los Angeles ceremony with his girlfriend of seven months Sarah Larson.
A source said: “Sarah really wanted to go to the Oscars and begged George to take her. George broke the rule of a lifetime and finally agreed. Sarah was the perfect companion and everyone agreed they made a lovely couple.”
George – who eventually lost out on the award to There Will Be Blood star Daniel Day-Lewis – revealed he helped the former cocktail waitress to prepare for the prestigious event.
He joked: “I helped her curl her hair before we came here.”
Referring to Sarah’s heavily-beaded turquoise Valentino dress, George quipped: “It’s all my handiwork. I’m a seamster! I sewed all the beads on myself!”
