Anna Kendrick's mother will be chasing George Clooney at the Oscars.

The 24-year-old star - who has been nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Natalie Keener in 'Up In The Air' - claims her mother is more excited about meeting her heartthrob co-star than cheering on her daughter.

She told Absolute Now.com: "I'm bringing my mom and my brother. I'm really excited but my mom is even more so. All she wants to do is meet George Clooney. She's can't wait. It's all she talks about."

Anna - who portrays an ambitious young coworker in the movie - has previously spoken about George's flirtatious ways, admitting she was initially "terrified" of him but was soon put at ease.

She told Empire magazine: "During the camera test he was making fun of my hair. If it was anybody else that you'd just met, you'd be like, 'What's this guy's problem?' But it's George Clooney. Obviously, he is really intimidating as a sort of iconic figure. Really terrifying.

"Then when you meet him properly, you know you're going to feel that he's a normal guy. He is one of the most famous people on the planet, but he has a real talent for making you feel like you've known him forever."
