Annette Bening And The Golden Globe Pizza Reference

"What the heck did Annette Bening mean by 'lunch at the pizza joint was delicious'?"

You knew Slice would have the answer for you.

The cryptic remark Ms. Bening made to husband Warren Beatty during her Golden Globe acceptance speech moments ago (the awards show is unfolding as we publish this), was a reference to the couple's first meeting. Apparently, the celebrated Hollywood duo counts a pizza lunch as their first date of sorts. (Ms. Bening won for Best Actress in a Film Comedy for Being Julia.)

We at Slice weren't watching the awards when Ms. Bening made the reference, but within seconds of it, we received two instant messages—first from Janelle, and, right on her heels, a second from Jen. Slice was pleased but perplexed by Ms. Bening's words, but Jen quickly explained away our confusion. Thanks to her, we are able to desmystify the speech for you.

Jen tells us the audience laughed knowingly. Now, because of Slice's exclusive online scoop, you, too, can laugh along knowlingly, albeit a bit later.
