Although they’re quite far past their own teenage years now, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie both received nominations for the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. The awards will air on FOX at 8 pm on August 10th.
Brad was nominated for the “Choice Movie Star: Drama” award for playing Benjamin Button. His competition is Hugh Jackman for Australia, Dev Patel for Slumdog Millionaire, Channing Tatum for Fighting, and Robert Pattinson for Twilight.
Angelina got her nomination for “Choice Movie Actress: Drama for her role in Changeling. She goes head-to-head with Nicole Kidman for Australia, Beyonce for Obsessed, Freida Pinto for Slumdog Millionaire. and Kristen Stewart for Twilight.
In all honesty, I don’t think they’re going to win. The award voting is open to teenagers (13-19) who can vote once per day online. That demographic is more than likely going to gravitate towards giving the award to Rob Pattinson and Kristin Stewart. Still, considering that it IS the Teen Choice Awards, I’m just really happy to see that they were nominated, especially Brad because I wouldn’t have thought of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button as being a movie that would be overly interesting to your average teenager.
What’s especially interesting though is that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are competing against each other too. Both of them are nominated for “Choice Celebrity Activist” which is amazing. I’m so thrilled that this is an award, I think it’s a great example for young people, no matter who wins. Brad and Angie are up against each other, as well as Leonardo DiCaprio, Hayden Panettiere, and Natalie Portman.
I admire all five of them for their activism but I would personally love to see Angelina win for her hard work with the UNHCR or have Brad win for his efforts with Make It Right after he stepped up and helped the people who had been so beaten down by Katrina.

Good luck Brad and Angelina!

Would you believe it if the woman on the other end of the phone line said she was Angelina Jolie? Mal Sirrah designer Malcolm Harris hung up on the actress twice because he didn’t believe it was really her calling to order three of his “One Dress” pieces. It took a while, but she finally convinced him, reports the New York Post.

Sure the twilight fans will do the best they can to help Rob Pattinson and Kristin Stewart win in the “Choice Movie Star: Drama” and “Choice Movie Actress: Drama” category but I’d love it if one of them win in the Choice Celebrity Activist” category!They both deserve it!
Srill even if they don’t it’s nice that they were nominated!
Thanks for the news Sherry!

it’s still kind of cute that brad and angie were nominated for this.
Kim, not that I’ve heard so far. I think it’s very possible that they won’t attend, but maybe we’ll luck out and they’ll surprise us!
