Bradley Cooper and Kristen Stewart helped get 2013 Oscar season rolling in a big way last night when they joined a throng of stars on hand for the Governors Awards at the Hollywood & Highland Center in Los Angeles.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences 2012 Governors Awards honored four legends: stunt performer Hal Needham, documentarian D.A. Pennebaker, arts advocate George Stevens Jr. and executive Jeffrey Katzenberg, who received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. 

And Hollywood really turned out to support them, led by a conservatively dressed and typically gorgeous K.Stew and a dapper B.Coop sporting some fresh facial hair stylings.

Based on Cooper's studly scruff look, we're detecting a subtle stubble trend for winter. Trés grizzly!

But we digress. Bradley often has that affect on us.

So, who else strolled the carpet at the formal but friendly affair? Big names included Helen Hunt, Steven Spielberg, Amy Adams, Christopher Nolan, Will Smith, Tom Hanks, Quentin Tarantino, Richard Gere, Leslie Mann and husband Judd Apatow, Star Wars legend George Lucas and Oscar host Seth Macfarlane.
