On a cool October evening, the Teen Press got a chance to visit with a panoply of film dignitaries on the red carpet, where they were gathered before the ceremony to honor Michael Douglas as the 2011 recipient of the Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in Film.

Grace and Oli, get the chance to visit with the ever-gracious & elegant Annette Bening on the red carpet of the Kirk Douglas Lifetime Achievement Award presented to Michael Douglas. Annette talks to the girls about growing up in Kansas, American Beauty, and her role with Michael Douglas in American President. Annette also chases down Kirk Douglas for the girls. Thank you, Annette!!!
