Feeling blue: George Clooney's brown eyes were lightened in another promotional image for the film

George, who is no doubt still a contender for US magazine People's prestigious Sexiest Man honour again this year, is also in the running for another coveted prize - an Oscar.

He is expected to attend Sunday's Academy Awards, where he will be in the running for Best Actor for his role in Michael Clayton.
