Michael Sheen and Sarah Silverman are still going strong.

The couple of about four months was at the Beverly Hilton Hotel last night for the 2014 Critics' Choice TV Awards, where Sheen was nominated for his work on Masters of Sex.

"She's great," Sheen gushed to me about his funny lady girlfriend. "She's a wonderful, wonderful person. She's funny, obviously, but she's so smart and so sensitive and thoughtful and kind."

Too sweet, Mr. Sheen!

The two were first romantically linked in February after they were caught engaging in some steamy PDA.

After photographers captured Silverman grabbing Sheen's booty during their red carpet debut as a couple at the Met Gala in May, she said during an appearance on The View, "What am I supposed to say, I'm an ass man."

When asked whether she's in love or lust with Sheen, 45, Silverman became visibly uncomfortable before she replied, "Look, this is so awkward. Listen, I love his body, but I also love what's on the inside."

The 43-year-old actress also couldn't resist the opportunity to poke a little fun at her British BF's accent.

"He speaks foreign, he's foreign and on his show Masters of Sex he speaks perfect American. And I'm like, 'If you can talk normal, why don't you do that all the time?'" the brunette beauty quipped. 

What did Sheen have to say about Silverman's appearance on Masters of Sex's upcoming second season? Find out by watching the video below! (And there's even more from the Critics' Choice TV Awards on E! News tonight at 7 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.)
