Just for fun, since the Academy Awards are tomorrow night, I thought I’d share a video clip of Angelina Jolie’s Oscar acceptance speech when she won for Best Supporting Actress in 2000 for her role in Girl, Interrupted.
Naturally there will always be people who will have something snarky to say about Angelina and James but I loved her speech. She was so genuinely surprised by her win and she was so full of emotion for everyone that it was a wonderful, natural, real thank you speech.
I do apologize for one thing, the audio is not properly synched to the video and frankly that drives me a little nuts, but it was the only one I could find right now. Hopefully we’ll get to see her do another acceptance speech on Sunday night, but if not, at least we know she did win that year and it was definitely well-deserved!
Why does Angelina always wear black?
Thanks for that video, Sherry! I had never seen that acceptance speech before. Back in 2000 the Finnish TV didn´t show the Oscars live like it fortunately does nowadays. IF she had won this year her speech certainly would have included a phrase “I´m so in love with Brad right now!” The whole speech made me cry. She has always been a beautiful young woman but during the last few years her beauty has really blossomed. Brad has made wonders for her. She is more relaxed and at peace with herself now. Also the children have calmed her down a lot. One day their children will see this video and they will be really proud of their mum. And naturally they can be very proud of their dad too. If there ever were a competition which one of the celebrity parents are the best I would be rooting for Brad and Angie. They´re such a loving and devoted parents. WTG Brad and Angie! Keep having more children!
Melodie, I agree about the tabs! Speaking of which, though, I was at the store today, and when look at this past week’s tabs, saw only one that definently seemed to be pouncing on Brad, Angie, and JA all being at the Oscars: OK.
I didn’t read the headlines (I don’t like to do so, as I can’t stand reading the horrible lies they often print!), but the cover was a side-by-side of a picture of Angie and a picture of JA. Chances are, the “story” is about them all being at the Oscars.
Out of Touch also appeared to have Angie as their cover story, but I glanced at it so quickly that I couldn’t tell whether it was about the Oscars or another “story” about Angie.
Of the other tabs, Life&Style had Rihanna on their cover, and Ugh Weakly had Nadya Suleman on theirs. I did not see Star, so I have no idea who they had on their cover or if they “reported” on Angie, Brad, and JA being at the Oscars.
I wasn’t too surprised that Life&Style wasn’t “reporting” it while Out of Touch was. Life&Style, although they HAVE certainly done their fair share of nasty Brad and Angie stories, seem to defend Brad and Angie a little more than the other tabs do.
Out of Touch, on the other hand, seems to be the tab that prints the worst, most vicious rumors about the J-Ps. In fact, unlike the other tabs, I have never once seen them print a postive rumor about the J-Ps (even with pregnancy rumors, they usually try to spin them as the pregnancy being dangerous for Angie’s health, Brad or Angie being upset about it, the two of them fighting over it, etc.).
jen, i saw it on E!, tv guide and abc.
you saw them already? :)
sherry, i know you’re probably looking for photos now for a new thread, here’s some:

Wow, Angelina really snub Ryan again!!! Brad talked to him but she was MIA.
angela
from where did you saw it? i couldn’t find it anywhere I’m so excited to see them.
they arrived already!
angie is gorgeous in her black strapless gown!
I am watching TV Guide channel for the red carpet, they love Brad & Angie, they only have nice things to say about them & they keep on mentioning about them. They also mentioned the X, a rumor that she will be walking the rc with her boyfriend JM.
God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.
congrats to joel madden and nicole for expecting baby number 2!
you’re lucky girls, here in belgium i can’t watch the oscars (maybe on E entertainment but it’ll happen around 1 am, so i’m not sure my boyfriend’ll be ok if i wake up for watching the tv…)
I am only watching because of Angie and Brad. I think this couple breaks the Hollywood couple mold. They really love each other and their family. They appreciate what they have. I wish Brad would win also. Who knows Hollywood is full of surprises.
It’s not bad to wish something who knows, Oscars maybe their night to win. I am still rooting for both of them. I am watching Oscars because of Brad & Angie. Be back later, I’m about to leave for noon mass. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s & fans all over the world.
Angie & Brad seem to treat every awards night as their “date night”. It is seldom they attend parties related to these awards night. More often than not, they skip the parties and eat somewhere else with other close celebrities or just the two of them.
i don’t think Brad and Angie is going to attend the after party. did they attend the GG after party?
anyway, the Oscars tonight! although the show is predictable, it won’t hurt to hope for a surprise right? haha.
i just want the oscars to be over already. get it out of the way. i am also sorry to say that angelina and brad will not win, as it will be the same old, same old, kate winslet, mickey rourke and slumdog Millionaire. i wish it would change but brad and angie have been beaten at all other award shows, why would oscar be any different?
having said that, i am all for being proved wrong!
gena: jennifer goes to the oscar party with john mayer!
joliepittfanatic: well said! i think angie understands and after 5 years, it’s not a problem for all of them to see each other! they have already said that this triangle is producted by the media and that everything they want for each other is happiness!
BTW, i’m sure that tomorrow the tabs ‘ll have some ST.upid covers about this.
I am just happy they were both nominated. Just think how many are not. As for X, she may as well present and attend pre-parties. That is the only way she will get close to an oscar. She is a party animal. She has no kids and is basically single. Why not attend.
UNDER MOD- Today was the Independant Spirit Awards, and does that ever bring back memories….
I just went to PEOPLE.com…and in doing so I found out that the Independant Spirit Awards are today. I don’t about the rest of you, but boy, does that bring back memories for me!
Just think, it was at last year’s Independant Spirit Awards, nearly a full year ago (last year’s Indys were on the 23rd, so it won’t actually be a full year until Monday), that Angie “announced” her pregnancy with Knox and Viv, finally ending all of the speculation (of whether or not she was pregnant, that is. Obviously then we switched to speculating whether or not she was indeed carrying twins. :)).
Now Knox and Viv are seven months old, and it’s hard to believe that it was only a year ago at this time that they were still in their mommy’s tummy (similarly, by the time one year had passed since Pax’s adoption, it felt to me like he’d always been part of the family!)! :)
Sherry,
I hope all’s well with your family. You’re a supermom for taking care of family and making time for your interests (ie, working on this website).
I wonder what surprises the Oscars have in store? It seems all the winners are already predicted. I hope the media don’t stress out our couple hanging on their every breath and reaction. All eyes and ears will be on them, even if they do not win, because of the media circus on the “triangle.” In that case, I hope one of them will win. Cameras will be on Angie when animation awards are announced (Kung Fu Panda).
