Below are photos of JUNO's lead thespian Ellen Page and screenwriter-cum-all-around-fun-gal Diablo Cody. The pics were taken by members of Fox Searchlight's publicity department.

If you didn't figure it out based on the first/top photo, the talented duo was in Rome, Italy recently. In fact, that's the Colosseum you see behind Ellen, Diablo and our own Kacey H. They were in town for the Rome Film Festival -- where JUNO won the "Best Picture" award!

And it looks like despite the rain everyone managed to have a good time...

Don't forget -- JUNO opens in select theatres on December 5th! You can visit the film page here.

P.S. Director Jason Reitman writes about winning in Rome -- and, upon hearing the good news, flying to Italy from his home in the U.S. to accept the award -- on his blog, which you can visit here.
