Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper were among the A-Listers there to dine on gourmet pasta, sushi, and canapés while sucking down free top shelf liquor.

But tonight, things will really get interesting as the fest's most anticipated film, The Tree of Life, premieres at Palais K followed by an afterparty with the film's stars, Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and their significant others, Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson.
