Assuming that the Oscars don’t end up a giant flop of a press conference like the Golden Globes were due to the writers’ strike (even Jon Stewart, slated to host this year again – yay! – has stated he will not cross the picket lines), and assuming that we do indeed get the full-blown Oscars ceremony this year, we’ll likely not be seeing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the Oscar red carpet this year.
Despite the fact that Globe nominees usually get an Oscar nod as well, Angelina Jolie was not nominated for her role in A Mighty Heart. Since Brad Pitt was not nominated for Jesse James either, both will likely stay home this year (unless they come in support of George Clooney). I would be very (pleasantly) surprised if they showed up at the ceremony since Angie had already said that she would be staying at home with her kids if the Oscars were canceled. Although many people who are not fans like to accuse the Jolie-Pitt family of being attention seekers, they do actually try to stay as low key as possible while balancing normal life, so there’s a good chance they’ll just stay home and hang out with the kids on the big day.
I would love to know the reasoning for her not being nominated after being nominated for the Golden Globe. Oh well, I’m not going to let myself be too disappointed since I bet Angelina herself was probably only mildly let down herself.
Discuss!

I’m actually surprised she didn’t get a nod. Oh well, she’s a FANTASTIC actress regardless. And besides, she’s already an Academy Award Winner.

Hi dianad!
i didn´t know about those fanatics on JJ, i am shocked! but exactly those fans keep me away from JJ i really dislike this site. i never said that there were ONLY jenhaters, i just said that i was disapointed to find some on here.
about Brads and Jens divorce…let´s agree that we diasgree:) i think she handled the situation with much dignity, although i must say that normally i do not care much about her. i fear without her VAnity Fair interview things would have gone even worse, because the fans would have had more room for speculation. she wanted to hurt ANgie and Brad?no offense but thats childish thinking and all three aren´t in highschool anymore. all three moved on and ANgie is way to secure to let herself be hurten by tabloids or whatsoever. she is a strong woman and she has all she could ever wish for.
but i agree, the tabloids feed all the hate between the fans, thats sad. i refuse to let myself be sucked into this nonsense and i think all fans should do so. never the less placing blame on Jen for Angies oscar loss is very immature thinking and i was disapointed to find such things on here.
thanks for your post anyway, you made your point.
