What was going on with Alec Baldwin and George Clooney at the Oscars?

Answer 1

And, finally, the biggest mystery of the evening: Why did George Clooney look so grumpy? Steve Carell has mastered the "faux annoyed" look from the audience, but with Clooney it was quite difficult to discern if this was supposed to be a bit, or if he was serious. The mystery remains unsolved, though there is a clue. On the red carpet, Clooney gave reporters a peek at a metal flask - no doubt filled with delicious Tang - hidden in his jacket. But most likely, he was just contemplating who would be next to get thrown in the pool.
