It looks like Jay Baruchel has found his million dollar baby.

While being honored at the Genie Awards in Ottawa on Thursday night, the Tropic Thunder and Sorcerer's Apprentice star surprised everyone by thanking his fiancée. Sure enough, he later confirmed that he and Milk actress Alison Pill are indeed preparing to tie the knot, reports the Toronto Star.

The two apparently got engaged over the holidays while Baruchel was in the midst of giving Pill a 180-year-old Victorian wedding band simply as a Christmas present when he decided to just pop the question.

"I'm pretty sure my words were 'F--k it, do you want to marry me?' to which she said, 'Yes, of course.' "

The two plan to marry in September 2012. Unless, of course, they end up just saying 'F--k it' and run off to Vegas and elope before then.
