"Its important to remember how much good can get done because we live in such strange times where bad behavior sucks up all of the attention and the press," Clooney told the audience. "And the people who really need the spotlight: the Haitians, the Sudanese, people in the Gulf Coast, Pakistan -- they can't get any."

The American star, who has served as one of the United Nations Messengers of Peace since 2008, said he hopes “that some very bright person right here in the room or at home watching can help find a way to keep the spotlight burning on these heartbreaking situations that continue to be heartbreaking long after the cameras go away.
"That would be an impressive accomplishment," he said.

maybe a few "glee" tunes for refugees in Pakistan - maybe a movie star's drug bust in Louisana - CSI can go to Sudan - spot light all the rapes/murders - few are watching the devestation taking place all over our troubled world - which is really sad!

KENTUCKY is very proud of our guy, George. He deserved his award more than any other given last night. he does so much that is never made public. Much of it is done with his best bud, Brad Pitt. Pitt should be next year's winner.
