Angelina Jolie Talks Oscars on Good Morning America

Angelina Is Rooting For Brad and Benjamin Buttons

February 3, 2009

Good Morning America aired a pre-Oscars interview with Angelina Jolie this morning. As usual the actress played it cool and wouldn't admit that she wanted to win the Best Actress Academy Award, since she already has a supporting one for Girl Interrupted. Plus, she's really rooting for Brad and "Benjamin Buttons". From there she joked again about her children's love of Kung Fu Panda and Changeling as a tribute to her mother. Check out the video below as we start to count down the days until the Feb. 22 Oscars!

She's beautiful as always. I saw her in person once at the Toronto film festival and she exuded confidence as though she owned the city. It was remarkable and I can't get over how self-assured she was and how she "owned" and controlled that red carpet. I've never seen anyone seem to be so sure of themselves like that before!

Benjamin Button is just a poor knock off of Forest Gumpand Brad's acting in it certainly shouldn't earn him aOscar. Mickey Rourke, Sean Penn and a couple others dida lot better job. If you haven't seen The Wrestler, gosee it. It and Slumdog are both readly good movies, muchbetter that Button.

is it really surprising that she would walk away from all of the flash bulbs to be a mom?

Angie has said for as long as I can remember that she doesn't watch movies. Brad recently said "burn After Reading" is one of the few he knows of that AJ has seen of his films and that neither one of them has seen "Mrs. and Mrs. Smith". Denzel Washington and Johnny Depp say the dame.

I understand the sentiment. People say I'm a good writer, but I hate reading my own papers. I like the process of writing them, but rereading them is a bit challenging and often boring...considering I know exactly what has been written.

Angelina is a just adorable. I also love when she falls in love its the clearest thing in the world. Angie loves Brad sooooo much. Its so sweet. Angie loves being mommy but it makes me sad she keeps saying she wants to quit acting. Well that makes all Angie movies even more special because she won't be doing them as much. I go see all her movies at the theater now because she does so few of them.

She doesn't like watching her own movies. Maybe she would over analyze herself and that would take away from her work.
