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.”

she better gets nominated! she’s awesome but i have a feeling she wont win even if she does.
in my heart,she’s the winner.
She’s a great humanitarian and i guess mother too but she doesn’t deserve another oscar. Beside she probably won’t care much either way.
i get the impression that angelina was too nervous.

I’d rather Jolie win for Changeling. Marion’s role was iconic, and arguably the among the greatest in history. I have a feeling this is Marion’s only chance at Oscar,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I get your point. It depends on how the Academy decides to vote. If they want to give Marion her one chance they may but then again the film was hardly seen and sh eis a fairly unknown so that can go against her.
Julie Christie is not enough of a screen icon to warrant getting an Oscar for a film no one saw. I mean she is important - Dr. Zhivago is one of my favorite films - but she is known for “Shampoo” and a few other things and so the Academy won’t feel as if they owe her an Oscar.
Angie is so relevant right now. She is a globalist who believes in peace and human rights. Danny Pearl’ story reminds us what we are fighting for post 911 so it might be a symbolic gesture to honor Angie’s performance given that the subject matter is so on the top of the list of things affecting our lives - terrorism.
And she is a a Hollywood golden child who has grown and is proof of a woman evolving in Hollywood.
I think given all this the Oscar is Angie’s this year.
A quick thanks to JJ before romper room commences and people lose their senses…

p.s…Alex, I know you haven;t been twiddling your thumbs waiting for that e from me, but I haven;t forgotten and also HAPPY BELATED B-day!!!
Angelina’s performance is strong enough to get nominated but not to win IMO. But that should be OK because Angelina has already won an Oscar and this nomination, if she gets it, is testament to her acting abilities.There s no pressure to win. There are better and stronger roles coming up in her future. she should win for that. But get this all you haters….she is the only American actress that’s been nominated for Best Actress. That’s right, there’s no one else who did better than Angelina did in 2007. Represent!
that julie christie will win, it’s a pattern.

UGH….Perez is comparing Courtney Love and Angelina Jolie on his blog.
++++++++++++++++++++
He’s comparing CL’s hair to Angelina’s crazy characters hair in Girl interrupted. DUH!
What Pere is saying has nothing to do with this thread.
smut bish.
George and James are so funny, they sure make the roundtable more lively. Angelina and George were the biggest star, but Angie was quite humble, down to earth and as usual very articualte and eloquent. Marion was so frenchy and pretty, too bad she can’t convey herself freely with English.
I think Julie Christie and Marion were the the two frontrunner in Oscar, with Julie got the better shot. but I’ll be very happy if Angie was nominated . a nomination was already an aknowledgement and will always be in Angie’s resume.
I love it when women talk about peeing !!!!
Thanks for the new thread jared. Love ya angie!
I too thought that Angelina seemed nervous, unusually so for her. She constantly twisted the large gold band on her right hand. Her clothes were loose on her, big full blouse and loose skirt, much larger breasts especially in comparison to the other two women on the stage with her. When introduced last she moved very quickly to her seat. Her face is definitely fuller.
Just some observations. I know nothing. But something is different.
US claims in the new issue that when asked if Angelina was expecting, “Pitt’s rep said no, not to the best of my knowledge” . Rather cryptic, much like the answer NicoleK’s rep gave 2 weeks before she admitted she was pregnant., “No she is not, if she was pregnant every time someone said she was she would have 30 children”.
I will be keeping an eye on Angelina’s dress choices in the next couple of weeks, SAG, SB, NAACP, Indie Spirit, and Oscars (or whatever happens with those).
Okay? @ 01/18/2008 at 9:44 pm Angelina’s performance is strong enough to get nominated but not to win IMO.

Exactly !!!
where’s Halle, Hiliary, Reese ? they all have movie shown this year.
Angelina talks with her hands just as everyone in my family does. You either do or you don’t. So happy that she is a “doer”. So happy also to see that she has definitely gained some weight. She looks great.
WIN? she won’t even be nominated.

I’m judging it based on precursors. Marion, Julie, and Ellen have all the critics awards/GGs/Satelites/CCAs..Marion is also everyone’s favourite performance to win.
Is there a Jen thread?
I’m sure Angie will be nominated for Oscar
Now i think she is pregnant. She will keep secret as long as possible to avoid the “baby bump watch”. Time will tell.
Anyways she looks beautiful as ever.
Thanks Jared for the new thread
