While honouring him here Saturday, the &quot;Erin Brockovich&quot; star cracked jokes about him. &quot;I&#39;m normally in my second REM cycle by now, so let&#39;s get this done,&quot; Roberts joked on stage, reports eonline.com. <img alt="George Clooney and Julia Roberts" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/nov/George-Julia.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 368px;" /> George Clooney and Julia Roberts. Pics/Santa Banta &quot;George Clooney, or as my daughter calls him, &lsquo;George Looney.&#39; So, so honoured to be here tonight. And there are two obvious reasons why I was chosen to do this. One, Brad Pitt was out of town. Two, Matt Damon, he&#39;s in town but he was unavailable,&quot; she added. The Hollywood stars have acted in movies like &quot;Ocean&rsquo;s Eleven&quot; and &quot;Ocean&rsquo;s Twelve&quot;. u00a0&quot;I consider George a friend. We have worked together in many capacities. We have acted together a few times. He&#39;s handsome, he&#39;s talented, he is an exemplary humanitarian and a gifted prankster,&quot; said Roberts. Clooney also returned the compliments. &quot;It has been such a pleasure to watch the woman you have become,&quot; he gushed. u00a0&quot;Its&#39; very hard for me to be just straight nice because she&#39;ll get me later. But just an amazing mother, an amazing wife and a great, great friend. It&#39;s really an honour to have her here.&quot; Other stars who were honoured during the bash included Kathryn Bigelow with John Schlesinger Britannia Award for Excellence in Directing; Sacha Baron Cohen won Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy; Benedict Cumberbatch got Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year; Idris Elba got Britannia Humanitarian Award; and Ben Kingsley got Albert R. Broccoli Britannia Award for Worldwide Contribution to Entertainment.u00a0
