At the8th Annual Global Green USA pre-Oscarparty held in Hollywood, CA last Wednesday, celebrities arrived in style and many of them lined up for a photo op withGeneral Motors' star of the green carpet: the2011 Chevrolet Volt. The list of A-list celebs caught on camera posing with Chevy's plug-in hybrid included director James Cameron and actor Dennis Hasbert.

Actors making friends with snazzy"green"cars on film got a kick start when Leonardo DiCaprio rolled up at the Oscars in aToyota Priusa few years ago. Since then, numerous celebs seeking to expose their"greenness"have been caught on camera seated behind the wheel of a hybrid vehicle, some of them boldly driving a not-so-green gas-electricCadillac Escaladehybrid.

Though some might credit the Prius with launching Hollywood's gotta-drive-something-green revolution, the question now seems to be: will the Chevy Volt, or maybe even theNissan Leaf, knock the Prius out of the spotlight? We'll find out tomorrow night.
