The processes [ital pp][sup ([minus])][r arrow][ital V][sub 1][ital V][sub 2]+[ital X][r arrow][ital l][sub 1][ital [bar l]][sub 1][ital l][sub 2][ital [bar l]][sub 2]+[ital X], where [ital V][sub [ital i]]=[ital W][sup [plus minus]] or [ital Z] and [ital l][sub [ital i]] denotes a lepton, are calculated to [ital O]([alpha][sub [ital s]]). Total and differential cross sections, with acceptance cuts imposed on the final state leptons, are given for the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LHC center of mass energies. Inclusive and exclusive 0-jet and 1-jet cross sections are given. The transverse momenta spectra of the leptons are significantly enhanced at high [ital p][sub [ital T]] by the QCD radiative corrections, especially at the LHC energy. Invariant mass and angular distributions are scaled up in magnitude by the QCD radiative corrections, but are little changed in shape.
