congratulations brad Says:

The reason why I say a big congratulations to Brad too is that all the success came after a very difficult year for the JPs in the press. Both Brad and Angie represented grace under pressure. To every pressure whether negative or positive I wish you many more successes.
—————-
I second that motion. Thank you!!

Congratulations to all the nominees in every category.

And especially congratulations to Babel for getting the honour to be nominated as the Best Picture!!

Congratulations to Brad, Cate ,Adriana, Riko, Gael, Alehandro and all the contributors that made this extraordinary film with some of the best performances I’ve ever seen on screen. Defiantly one of the favourite movies of our time.

Brad will have many chances in the future. I don’t mind that he is not nominated now. Babel is, Alehandro is, Adriana and Riko is, The Departed that he co-produced is so Brad is a winner none the less.

He has a wonderful family that it’s the most important thing for him and he has a “fullfiling” life now and his happy right where he is. (his words not mine) :)

I’m so eager to see their upcoming films. I can’t wait.

Congratulations to all nominees!

I think if Brad goes to the Oscars, Angie will be there too, and vice versa. I’m not sure who picks the presenters or who gets to be invited in the audience. Anybody know? The only time that they have spent apart is when the other person has other commitments.

As much as I enjoy seeing Brad and Angie together, I think they earned some peace and quiet for themselves and their family. Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing them together, and an occassional candid photo will be good enough for the voyeur in me, but I think a little time away from the limelight will be good for them and their family. I’m not sure if the paparrazis and tabloids will give them that peace. And when it comes time to promote O13, it will just be that much more special.

Friends

My husband just watched “The Queen” the other day. We don’t find anything extra ordinary about that movie. What do you think? maybe we’ve not really learnt to appreciate good movies. My husband says he likes the man who acts as Tony Blair more than Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth. What do you think?

Oscar Snub @ 01/23/2007 at 8:20 pm

Montserrat - You can’t have it both ways. You guys all keep saying JA is done in Hollywood - no more movies - can only guest star on Dirt because of CC. On the other hand you all have conspiracy theories that she is orchestrating the media bashing of Brangelina with Huvane. How can these 2 theories co-exist together? How can a Hollywood has-been get all the media riled up over Brangelina? Obviously you guys do believe she is a powerful force in Hollywood to suggest all these conspiracy theories. BE AFRAID…BE VERY AFRAID
BTW - How can you nuts keep believing that AJ does not have a publicist - because she said so? Oh, thats right - she would never LIE - JOLIAR!!! Why do you think Brangelina have been out of sight since the GGs - their PUBLICIST told them to hide and SHUT THE F**K UP!!!!!

The guy who played T Blair was Micheal Sheen. Alot ofcritics and people on Oscar sites expected him to get a best supporting nom but he did happen for him. I guess that can be put down to the backlash against Brad and Angelina also.

Leatherfaceanuston @ 01/23/2007 at 8:32 pm

Coming to a theater near you Jennifer Leatherfaceanuston in a remake of a Creature from the Black Lagoon. This film not suitable for small children and people with heart conditions.

We can only hope.

Sorry about that. It was suppose to be “best supporting nom but it did not happen for him”.

IMO, all these negative press are the work the agency Angie fired last year . here’s the article

EXCLUSIVE: Angelina Jolie Fires CAA!
——————————————–
I have just learned that Angelina Jolie has fired her talent agency CAA after 13 months there. This is a huge loss, the biggest in quite some time for that agency which has a history of keeping its marquee clients in the fold. Oscar-winner Jolie right now is inarguably the top actress in the world in terms of salary, talent and heat. And she’s just made the cover of People as “World’s Most Beautiful” (and stares out from newsstands every week). All CAA would confirm to me this afternoon was that “she is no longer a client.” CAA also told me that Brad Pitt is still a client. Before Angelina went to CAA in March 2005, Jolie was represented by just her manager at Media Talent Group. When she and MTG decided she needed an agent, she met with every major agency in town, then chose CAA. Presently, the very pregnant actress has been relaxing in Namibia with Brad Pitt and her two children.

==================================================

Also, Kate JHusdson just fired CAA as her agency last Nov .

===================================================

I smell desperate sh*t at agency. CAA boss -= Kevin Huvane = oldest bro of Stephen Huvane = smelly sh*t

Is beautiful CC really gonna have to makeout with her?

It was with a heavy heart to learn that Brad did not get nominated for the Best supporting actor category but I have to comfort myself with his answer to EXTRA TV when asked about his chances for the Oscar’s when Babel had a red carpet in LA and he travelled 20 hours from India and also left the following day, he said he doesn’t really need any awards in his life because he is happy as it is. As affirmation to where his priorities are, the Newsweek roundtable, his interview with Ann C at the Today show ,he has always emphasized being a father as the most extraordinary endeavour he has undertaken in his life. Parenthood, the most rewarding and “profound ” loving he is proud to have on a daily basis. There will still be other oppurtunities for him to win an Oscar with Angie on his side.
I hope Babel wins the best picture award.

Don’t hate CC, her show is tanking. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Now only if she can control her gag reflex.

Rolling my eyes @ 01/23/2007 at 8:40 pm

LOL Aniston is the one in hiding. she doesn’t want us to know about her Brow lift and the chin and nose reshaping she has had done.

i dont care about the oscar nominations.alli want is for brad and angie to stay together,because they are perfect together.i dont know if you all will believe me.when brad was still with aniston,i dont care about him even if i saw some of his movies in the past due to my friends invitations.i saw him in troy and meet joe black, but i didnt see the charisma yes he is gorgeous and very hot with so much sex appeal.but when i heard that brad is doing a movie with angelina, oh gosh i nearly fell off the chair, coz i really like aj since her tomb raider days. all my friends say she is just perfect to the role.since then i was hooked to both of them especially when they became a real couple.i always thought they are the real deal, yes it is difficult to accept but that is the truth, BP and AJ are just PERFECT

I agree. He played Tony Blair quite well. But overall, personally, I don’t see the need for a movie like The Queen.

Oscar Snub Says:
If you were making a point I missed it. So, by your Anistonian logic, the fact that we say that she can only do TV now and have no movie career, means that she and whoever cannot try to destroy Angie? Huh?
So you don’t believe that this is to increase interest in her appearance on Courtney’s show. Well then, what about plain old spite? You know that feeling? That’s the one bitter ex-wives get when their husbands move on with a younger and prettier woman than themselves.

It realyl is great; and she also has this email thinggy going on, which i love, she will share with you things she won’t post or ask for suggestions etc. I am pretty sure she is in Canada, I’ll check my emails, but she is great!!!! But don’t expect loads of comments but she will have me full time for awhile now………..

so you call it hiding when people go about their daily lives, raise their children and go to work. I guess they are. They don’t see the need to call half of the LA police force to escort them thru LAX, when nobody would have noticed if they didn’t!

CONGRATS TO BABEL AND THE DEPARTED!

well, CAA lost Angelina in April 2006 and Kate Hudson in Nov 2006

IMO this is all deliberate attempt by the agency to smear for business

Exclusive: Kate Hudson Dumps CAA for Endeavor
Posted Nov 28th 2006
————————————————-
Breaking News:

That, apparently, is the post-Thanksgiving message Kate Hudson has for many of the men in her life.

A week and a half after hubby and Black Crowes front-man Chris Robinson filed for divorce from Hudson, the “Le Divorce” star is decamping CAA for rival talent agency Endeavor, TMZ has learned.

There, she’s to be repped by Endeavor partner and former CAA agent Patrick Whitesell, whose mission will be to get her mind off of the Black Crowe — and onto more meaty roles, like the one created by Cameron Crowe. His 2000 sleeper hit, “Almost Famous,” got Hudson nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, after all.

Insiders say Hudson had, of late, felt that her CAA reps were focusing on big paydays, rather than on securing her the Oscar hardware that so many actresses crave — including mom Goldie Hawn, who was nominated twice for “Cactus Flower” (a win) and “Private Benjamin” (a loss).

Wagged one agent observing the inter-agency fray: “After ‘You, Me & Dupree’ the road back [to Oscar nominations] isn’t doing an Andy Tennant movie.”

The acid-tongued agent was referring to the inauspiciously-named “Fool’s Gold,” a broad comedy that re-teams Hudson with her “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days” co-star Matthew McConaughey, helmed by Tennant, who’s directed movie like “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Anna and the King.”

Ouch.

There are many articles (not related to Brad/Angie fan sites) that said Angie is the ONLY A-lister who doesnt have a publicist. How can this be lie? This is public knowledge in the industry. You are behaving like your idol Aniston, lies. If you want to write lies, at least write something convincing. Angie is not like your idol Aniston. Your Aniston lied all the time. You remember Jen lied even about the relationship with Vince?

Brad is now in New Orleans. Angie is in Vietnam. What’s wrong if you havent heard from them? Do they have to make news everyday?
They are busy actors, not like you. You have nothing to do but to hate.

i’m quite disappointed brad didn’t get nominated. he soooo deserve it. just watched babel and he was amazing. if judi dench can get nominated and won for shakespeare in love for a mere 8 minutes appearance, why brad wans’t is beyond me. the same way that jake should have won the oscars instead of GC, or Cate for Elizabeth instead of GP.

is there also politics in this award?

Cookie says:

That is all I truly want for Brad and Angelina and their family-to prosper in love and happiness and togetherness. Brad has been nominated for an Oscar before and will be again. On the other hand there may exist just one shot at having a life with the love of your life, and that’s way more important than an award. Awards don’t greet you at the door with hugs and warm kisses, and comfort you when you need it, or curl up in your lap, they are made of inflexible cold metal.

****************************************************************

Brangelina means $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to so many. Each on their own and together. That’s what it’s all about, the almighty dollar. Fans sites have gotten wealthy by breathlessly posting brangelina news as only fansites can. That’s why on every positive blog that put news on Brad or Angelina for FANS have been victims of theft by nasty snarky blogs who live and die by the hits they get. Haters live and die by tabloid stories so they get rich as well. Everybody wants to know what Brad & Angelina are up to. Like it or not. The ones who aren’ t are boring and not the desireable demographic. They are fabulous international couple. JA’s claim to fame is that of being Brad Pitt’s wife and her Rachel haircut on Friends. Not bad. During this time she made a lot of money. She should just kick back and be the grande dame mentoring up & coming starlets.

We will continue to want to know about the latest about Brad & Angelina and watch as their family grows. We hope they continue to bring attention to issues that Hollywood pretends doesn’t exist. At least they try.
