Elisabetta Canalis disses ex Clooney by backing Tarantino for the Best Picture Oscar... (but George still won)

Talk about sour grapes.
You may never have heard of Elisabetta Canalis, 34, if it weren't for the fact that she dated a certain Mr George Clooney but it seems that her loyalty to this illustrious former flame is somewhat strained.
The former Dancing with the Stars alum told TMZ that she was rooting for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained to bag the all important Best Picture Oscar on Sunday night.
The cheek of her! Elisabetta Canalis seemed to be having a whale of a time at a Pre-Oscar Party on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood on Sunday

And this means, of course, that she didn't want Argo - the movie George produced - to romp home.

Elisabetta was out partying in LA on Saturday night when she came out with the indirect slight.
When asked about the big award, Elisabetta smiled and said: 'Tarantino ... I LOVE TARANTINO!'
Back when they split up in 2011, George and Elisabetta released a joint statement saying the split was 'very difficult and very personal.'

The last laugh: Despite Elisabetta's lack of support, Argo won so Clooney and girlfriend Stacy Keibler got to enjoy its success

Since then, George has moved on very nicely with Stacy Keibler, 33, who was his date at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday to watch him accept the award with director Ben Affleck.

Which just made Elisabetta looked even more stupid.
When asked how proud he was of Affleck, who also starred in Argo, Clooney stated: 'I don’t like Ben. He’s tall. He’s good looking. He ticks me off.'
'No listen, he’s so talented. It’s so much fun to watch him have this year,' Clooney finally admitted.
Argo won in three categories: Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Editing.
Still winners: Elisabetta's favourite Tarantino still scooped Best Screenplay for Django Unchained while Christoph Waltz got his second Supporting Actor gong for the same film
