OlderAngelina Jolie and Oscar - Perfect Together
Newsweek has put together its 2008 Oscar roundtable including Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Daniel Day-Lewis, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard and James McAvoy.
Angie on A Mighty Heart:
“I was comfortable when Mariane [Pearl] was comfortable. But I wasn’t so comfortable the first day of shooting, when I realized his style was so unbelievably raw. There is often no rehearsal, no one saying “cut.” For example, you have three different rooms, and we would go into one room and we’d be talking, say our five lines, and he’d film us. Then I’d go pee, and I’d come out, and the camera was still on. So I’d think, “OK …” Then I’d say my five lines again, and that would turn into 10 more minutes of talking, and then someone would go get something from the kitchen and I’d go to my bedroom, and he’d follow me and he just wouldn’t leave. It was really odd. But it became just the most perfect way to shoot that film. It was chaos in that moment. It was very intimate, and my big fear was that something horrible might happen and the camera would be like this. [She gestures as though there’s a camera right in her face] But everybody was absolutely connected in every single moment. Even when we’d have lunch, we’d have it together at the table, or we’d all go for a walk together. We were just always present in the film. And so as an actor it brought me back to loving acting, and that was just great. But he does cross a line. One day one of the girls got sick and threw up, and he said, “Next time, tell us.” So he can be a little crazy. But I absolutely adore him.”

loves her
I hope she get nominated, she is a great actress and a great human being.
Angie was breathing quite heavily and and at one point she covered her mouth with her fingers as if about to puke and drank the water.
Oh! Thanks Jared for a new thread.
Love the Jolie-Pitts.
Wowoweee! Pit Señor to all BAMPZS fans esp. to my kababayans!
She won’t win.
“go pee”???!!!!!
Sheesh, is this what we can look forward to in society now?
We use to “excuse ourselves” or any other non TMI polite reference.
Otherwise, pretty much love the older Jolie.
Thanks Jared for the new thread.
I truly enjoyed the roundtable and of course my girl Angie.
Rock on Angie!
I hope Angie get her second Oscar. She is amazing.
Good evening, BAMPZS fans!
Special hello to MO Fan, I hope you are feeling much better now. So nice to be able to talk to you after a long hiatus.
I hope Angie gets nominated but if not, I’ll live. She already is a multiple winner with an Oscar, SAGs and GGs. Besides, she has Brad and her four kids and her fulfilling humanitarian work, so I am contented for her.
nice joke - jolie and a oscar roundtable
Thank you Jared!
I think she would rather have another Oscar than Brad and her brats.
Our girl, Angie, will win another Oscar.
Lady G left you an answer on the previous thread. NEED you to read it! Hugs!
Angie is wonderful, although she is the biggest star among them, she doesnt like try hard and steal the spotlight from everyone.
Like when they talk about paparrazi, we all know she the most stalked person in the room and yet she just downplay it and did not talk about her experience.
Clooney and Mcavoy talk too much, but i suppose it was ok, since the moderators were not very good in making follow-ups.
It was an interesting roundtable. Mc Covay is a joker along with George. I noticed the Angelina played with her ring a lot. I wonder if that is something she does when she is nervous? Angelina certainly is a lot larger in the chest than Ellen Page and Marion Coutollaird. I felt for Coultallarird because she does not speak English easily . Daniel day Lewis is not a talker but when he talks he is interesting. Angelina speaks well.
Thanks Jared. I hope she gets nominated for an Oscar. I don’t care if she doesn’t win, just being nominated will be good enough for me.
This Oscar roundtable video is so funny, I hope Angie will get Oscar nomination.

Here is a critic who loves AJ’s performance in AMH
++++++++++++++
MovieCityNews
by Noah Forrest
Best Actress
Julie Christie, Away From Her
Julie Delpy, 2 Days in Paris
Angelina Jolie, A Mighty Heart
Nicole Kidman, Margot at the Wedding
Sienna Miller, Interview
I think Jolie and Christie are the only ones with a shot of actually being recognized by the Academy, but I think the other three women all give brilliant performances. If this were the actual nomination list, it might be the most beautiful class of Best Actress nominees in the history of the awards.
I want to single out Julie Delpy for not only giving a brilliant, nuanced and honest portrait in 2 Days in Paris, but also for writing it, directing it, editing it. To be able to give such a wonderful performance while also being able handle all of those technical duties is nothing short of amazing. The film is basically her own personal version of Annie Hall and she is most definitely Woody Allen, right down to the thick glasses she wears throughout the film. I first fell in love with Delpy in Before Sunrise when she was the young and hopeful Celine and here she plays the antithesis of that character, someone jaded and stuck in a relationship that she can’t quite figure out. The relationship works, but does it work well enough? The film is also hysterically funny and not just in the cliché Ugly American goes to Paris vein. I cannot wait to see what Delpy does next, either behind the camera or in front of it.
That being said, it is Angelina Jolie who gives the best performance in this category. I don’t really care about the politics behind it, nor do I care about what she does in her private life – okay, maybe I do, I’m human. But the most important thing is what goes on the screen and what Jolie does is pretty remarkable. Not only does she nail a difficult accent (a mixture of French and Cuban), but she remains so tightly wound throughout the entire picture that we just want her to scream and when she finally does, it is so heartbreaking and relieving at the same time; we lament the fact that she is upset, but we are so glad the misery of waiting is over. Jolie makes Marianne Pearl more than just the widow of Daniel Pearl; she makes her into a person we can all relate to, someone whose pain and anguish we never want to suffer through.
Julie Christie or Marion Cotillard might get the win, but I think Jolie’s performance will be the best remembered.
great program, thanks for sharing
She will win the Oscar - no doubt. What a brilliant actress, humanitarian, mother, partner and overall human being. And breathtakingly stunning to boot. Angie - please run for office! Not too late to announce your candidacy. We love ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Georgeboy sure loves Brad. I was holding my breath and wished he would not mention Brad’s name. but nooooooooo, he did it again. LMAO.
