Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto says she got star-struck meeting Angelina Jolie at Thursday's 14th Annual Critics Choice Awards.

"They were sitting right next to my table!" she tells Usmagazine.com. "Angelina Jolie came walking towards me, and I didn't know she was coming over to me, so I stuffed my face with some food, and she was like, 'I loved your acceptance speech!'

Look back at Brad and Angelina's most romantic moments.

"I was like, 'Mmmm,'" adds Pinto, whose movie won best picture. "I went up to her during the break and Brad as well. They are lovely people."

She says she "was more enamored by Angelina. I was talking to her, and then I would look over and ... 'Oh, it's Brad Pitt!'"
