George Clooney starred in “Gravity” and produced “August: Osage County,” but was conspicuously absent from the Oscars on Sunday night.

Reports said he was instead in London by the side of his new girlfriend, beautiful British attorney Amal Alamuddin.

But Clooney’s rep explained, “George is not in London. He is on a well-deserved, long-overdue vacation.”

Sources told Page Six that Clooney has been smarting from the reception of his latest film, “The Monuments Men,” which was moved out of this year’s Oscars race and then got mixed reviews.

But a source close to the movie sniffed, “While some reviews were not great, there were many from top critics that were.”
