Angelina Jolie confirmed as a presenter for this year’s Oscars

Angelina Jolie has been confirmed as a presenter for this year’s Academy Awards. I like it! She hasn’t presented at the Oscars in a long time. When was the last time? 2004? Yikes. She presented Best Director at the Golden Globes this year, but for the past half-dozen years or so, Angelina has avoided presenting at awards shows, even when she’s nominated. I don’t really know why – she never seems nervous in front of a crowd or anything, so my guess is that it’s just A) bad timing and B) she doesn’t want to. But now that she’s going to the Oscars simply as “the date” of a (multiple) nominee, Angelina thought she might be bored, so she decided to take the producers up on their offer.

The last time Brangelina went to the Oscars, it was 2009 and both Brad and Angelina were up for lead acting awards, he for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and she for Changeling. The previous year, Angelina had been snubbed for a nomination for A Mighty Heart, and they made it a point to avoid going to the Oscars that year. In my opinion – and I have no proof to back this up – I’m guessing that Brad and Angelina have a standing invitation to present at every Oscar ceremony, regardless of whether they’re nominated. Producers simply want people to tune in, and more people tune in when Brad and Angelina show up.

Other presenters who have signed on thus far: Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Jennifer Lopez, and the cast of Bridesmaids. It’s a good list. But I’m waiting to see if Jennifer Aniston gets added. Aniston famously showed up to present at the 2009 Oscars (with John Mayer, LOL) when Brad and Angelina were nominated, and Aniston has Wanderlust coming out THAT same weekend. Will she bring along her new John Mayer, Justin Theroux?

Here are some old photos of Angelina at previous Oscars. God, I still LOVE that Marc Bouwer dress. And I still think that black Elie Saab was beautifully tailored.

    I love it!!!I hope Angie pulled a diva move and stipulated she would NOT present if that other one tries to horn in.
    Oh as for Angie not attending if she or Brad isn’t nominated I’d say that’s normal. I bet Leo won’t be at the Oscars.
    Now I’m gonn lay some odds down Oscar weekend good old what’s-her-face shows up with an engagement ring the size of a house ‘bought’ by her new fiancé.

    • Wendy says:

      But wait… if she doesn’t show up, it’s because she’s afraid of Jolie and Pitt, isn’t that what the story will be?

    • mln76 says:

      @Wendy actually there won’t be a story because people won’t be talking about Jenny-Poo they will be talking about the Oscars and the people who attended the Oscars 😉

    • Wendy says:

      Except of course, people like you who have already insinuated that if Aniston doesn’t go, it’s because Jolie somehow blocked her.

      Word to the wise, it’s a given that all Academy members receive an invitation to attend. So like it or not, if Aniston isn’t there, it’s because she didn’t feel like going or she’s off working somewhere.

      Personally, I hope she does go. She has a film coming out and it’s perfectly normal to be seen out and about when that happens.

    • mln76 says:

      @Wendy actually I said I HOPE she doesn’t attend and that I hope Angie blocked her. Because I am sick of the B.S. triangle. If Jen Aniston in her 20 year career hasn’t earned an Oscar nomination based on her actual talent there is no reason for her to be there except publicity. I find it sad and a tarnish on the Academy that they would have someone of her low stature as a member. Heck even Kate Hudson was actually was nominated for an Oscar.

    • Wendy says:

      Oh dear… Well good thing Brad isn’t going to win an Oscar from that “tarnished” organization then. I’m sure it would be utterly beneath him. That’s why he’s campaigning so hard…

      One has to wonder why Jolie would agree to present for such a lowly group… Although you’re right with the Hudson remark. Worse yet, they even handed out an Oscar to Jolie! It defies belief…

    • mln76 says:

      Well there is nothing tarnishing about a good performance getting a nomination. I think Kate Hudson deserved her nomination. I find it sad she never lived up to the potential she showed in Almost Famous. As for Angie she was amazing in Girl Interrupted, she was nominated again for the Changeling so there is no tarnish there. As for Brad not winning. Who cares??? He has been praised across the boards by critics and we all know he’ll be back. My point is Jen has never done work that has been even nominally recognized by the Academy they invited her as a publicity stunt, inviting her again would just be rehashing the same played out stunt.
      If Jen can get back to the Academy Awards based on an actual performance I’d say good on her. But we both know that’s not very likely 😉

    • Guest says:

      Jen cant even get nominated for a Golden Globe for acting in a film how much more an Oscar nomination..heck the GGs even have a comedy section for best actress yet still no nomination.

    • Wendy says:

      Aniston is a member because she was sponsored by two existing members and accepted by whatever Academy muckity mucks have the final decision.

      The very same people who vote on who gets an Oscar or not. I’m glad to hear you admit that they pull publicity stunts though, since you should have no trouble admitting that AJ’s last nom for the Changeling was exactly that. It made sure that both Pitt and Jolie were in the front row when they trotted out Aniston while having a camera parked under the noses of the Brange, capturing every uncomfortable reaction.

      In fact, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Aniston’s membership wasn’t a form of quid pro quo for accepting to present when she knew she’d be staring at the two of them in the front row. Guess the joke was on the Brange…

      • Bambi says:

        Wendy considering Aniston stuttered and umm-ed and uh-ed her way through and was badly shaking with the envelope, while the camera showed Brad and Angelina were watching on, smirking and whispering then giggling, I guess the joke was on Aniston. pmsl. 😀 She made a fool of herself and knew she was way out of her league being there, hence her profound nervousness.

      • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

        @Wendy
        “I’m glad to hear you admit that they pull publicity stunts though, since you should have no trouble admitting that AJ’s last nom for the Changeling was exactly that.”

        So you think the Academy nominated Angie for the Best Actress award in The Changeling…So that they could get Jennifer Aniston to come and present at the Oscars? Like Jen demanded the Academy NOMINATE Angie for Best Actress, or she wouldn’t show? Because the Academy needs publicity so badly?

        HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

        I’ll raise a tin foil hat to that one! 😀

    • mln76 says:

      actually Pop Rocks you didn’t ‘explain’ anything. You should bone up on your Oscar history things are much tamer now. Joan Crawford was known to personally call Academy members so that Bette Davis wouldn’t win. I stand by my point. It’s one thing for worthy contenders to jockey for attention and regard for work they’ve completed it’s another for someone unworthy to attend to leach off of her ex-husbands’ success. BTW you should check out the scandal that’s going on with Uncle Harvey and Meryl Streep that’s right THE MERYL STREEP just scandalized the Academy by sending out personal emails. As for the B.S. about Brad ‘faking’ it believe whatever you want.

    • mln76 says:

      Pop Rocks you should go into science-fiction or fanstasy writing. You’re ‘perceptions’ are leaps and bounds from reality.
      BTW I wasn’t posting on this site 2 or 3 years ago so…
      But I am glad you find me so fascinating 🙂
      EDIT:

        I find it ironic that Poprock is commenting about how many times someone is posting however, poprocks comments are posted in the morning, afternoon, evening and the middle of the night.
        Quite frankly who cares.

        Is Poprock upset because Min 76 comments make sense? Jealous much?

      • Josephina says:

        @ Camille,

        MLN 76 has a lot more patience with Wendy, Pop Rocks, PATW,etc. than I ever will have.

        Angie is a beautiful, sexy, powerful woman on top in Hollywood and she just keeps rising, pushing herelf out of her comfort zone. And the movie industry, including Hollywood, has taken notice of her remarkable work…for years. Congrats Angie!

        Since Aniston resides at the bottom of the barrel re film nominations spanning over 20 years, Jenhens could compare Aniston’s acting with ANY actress. Nope. A comparison with Angie is the only comparison they’ll consider.

      • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

        @mln76
        I like your posts, you know what you’re talking about, but you keep it light and funny. The above thread got pretty creepy with all the personal attacks, and questions. You handled it well, and kept it civil. Sometimes it’s SO hard to not feed the troll…XD

    • Camille (The original) says:

      Pop Rocks meet the kettle.

      *Oh I see you edited your post lol. Yes I guess you had to since you post on these threads more than most lol. 😉

    • mln76 says:

      Didn’t realize it was Briebart. I am as far from a crazed right wing as you can get still this story was on IMDB and Yahoo where I read it yesterday. If it’s proven to be a hoax my apologies but since it’s close enough to the stuff that Harvey has been accused of in the past I doubt it.

    • mln76 says:

      @Pop Rocks it’s a free country and last time I checked there is a comment section specifically so people can comment. If you don’t like my posts don’t read them. But I do find it a compliment that you and your friends spend your free time talking about me that’s really special 🙂 (ESPECIALLY since I haven’t even paid you)

    • mln76 says:

      @Pop Rocks sorry to have to curb your crippling fascination with me and my personal life but your question about what I do gets a big can of ‘NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS’ but I will say I am quite happily and gainfully employed 😉

      The best of luck on your job search.

      EDIT: I would also venture to point out that one of us has displayed a desire to make personal attacks due to differing opinions ABOUT CELEBRITIES WHO NEITHER OF US PERSONALLY KNOW and another one of us hasn’t bothered. As you said being unemployed makes people unhappy.

    • mln76 says:

      @Pop Rock Glad to hear I get the last word.
      I honestly don’t care if you happen to believe me or not. I find it odd that stating I have a job of some sort is supposed to be some bizarre claim. I happen to have a job with an unusual schedule and lots of lag time between appointments which is why we are all allowed to go on laptops, Iphones, computers when we aren’t working.
      It is also the reason why I may not post for several days at a time when things are busier here.
      Now the idea that you think you ‘won’ an argument by switching from talking about actresses and their careers to making a personal attack on me with increasingly strange presumptions you have made about me based on my opinions on tabloid gossip well that is all you girl(or boy you never know).

    • Annie says:

      @76 min the way your comment reads it appears youre accusing Meryl Streep of sending persnal emails out to academy voters, after reading the article it’s apparent that these were (wether legal or not) being sent by (perhaps) interested parties. I think it unfair to link Ms Streep with this campaign as it likely she was completely unaware of it…

    • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

      @Pop Rocks
      No one here has the right to demand personal information from other posters.

      Further it’s ridiculous to even try to use mln76s refusal to reveal personal info as some imaginary feather in the cap “Win” for your personal attack.

      We can agree to disagree, and post our own threads with our own opinions.

      Dialog is fine until it gets personal, then it needs to end, because that is entering creeper TROLL territory!

    • Maya says:

      FYI, Leo is in Australia filming a few scenes for Gatsby and production is having difficulties with the erratic weather (how I know this? I live in Sydney and it’s in the media all the time). So if he isn’t there, that would be the most likely reason.
      I find your fascination (and fantasising about Brangelina) fascinating, bordering on pathological. Your hope for ‘diva’ antics and what not is amusing to say the least. I’m sure that the Acadamy aren’t lacking potential presenters, should one pull a diva act and don’t have the time for wannabe divas. IMO only Meryl would justify being the diva, considering Angelina hasn’t really given any recent stellar performances lately. Neither has Aniston, but Aniston doesn’t try to sell herself as a ‘writer and director’.

  2. Asli says:

    Yeah, I think most big shots in H-Wood have standing invitations. I LOVE that suit.

    • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

      Asli, I’m a shameless tomboy, but I would SO rock that Marc Bouwer dress, and I love the suit too, but I’d take it in black!! 😀

  3. Camille says:

    Not again! Take care of your kids woman instead of drink vodka which you like to hide under the table.

    • Guest says:

      huh? so since she has kids she shoudldnt present at the Oscars..anyways here is a clip from when she presented in 2004..WOW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBuXPTPRTFk

      • Heine says:

        Wow is right…wow she looks like such a tacky skank. Her boobs are just free-wheeling it and her nips are tenting the fabric. Ick. And people talk about Aniston’s ‘iced nipples’. At least she didn’t have her headlights on on stage during a live national telecast of the most prestigious awards show in the US.

      • Camille (The original) says:

        Good grief. 🙄

      • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

        “the most prestigious awards show in the US.”

        HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAA!

        One another note…Now everyone will know that women have nipples! Thanks to Angie and her nipples, there will NEVER be world peace!!

      • Bambi says:

        Heine ‘skank’? Wow, you just HAD to drag Aniston into a Jolie thread, didn’t you, proving yet against that you psychotic loonistons are the only ones keeping this alive. LMAO at your silly and immature “most prestigious awards” gaffe. Seriously, get real. At least Angelina make that see-through mistake only once, and doesn’t do it DELIBERATELY. She didn’t have to bang her way to the top. She doesn’t strip like a cheap and sleazy slimy $2 dollar whore to sell a *children*’s movie, nor has she made an entire career of playing a character who always ices her nipples, or who bragged about beeping men on the first date. Aniston is a first class trashy skank, from go to woah. She could give Lohan and Hilton some clues. You loonistons are Aniston’s worst enemy.

    • Ravensdaughter says:

      Guess you’re not a Renaissance Woman, Camille…

    • mln76 says:

      Oh please the bottle in that photo was probably in an ice bucket. She had every right to drink at a function. BTW if Angie didn’t show up you crazies would be the first to say she’s abandoning Brad.

    • Original Chloe says:

      Oh wow, I hope you’re joking and I’m just not getting it.

    • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

      Hello 1950, nice to meet you. 😉

  4. Jackie says:

    i remember when aniston presented with pitt and jolie in the audience. aniston looked like a complete ass. her ‘bit’ was unfunny, she was awkward, and she took that douche mayer as a date. she completely humiliated herself.

    • Maya says:

      Um yeah, and when Angelina french kissed her own brother after she won her Oscar, she didn’t humiliate herself? Having a moronic date is way better than an incestuous clinch. It took years for Angelina to make that go away (UN goodwill ambassador, earth mother and all that).

      • Sakyiwaa says:

        Maya, yours is the lamest comment on this thread.

      • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

        @Maya
        “‘Um yeah, and when Angelina”(…)”won her Oscar”(…)”she didn’t humiliate herself”(…)”way better than”(…)”UN goodwill ambassador, earth mother and all that'”

        IDK I think her children, and UN Goodwill work is more important than her Oscar, but maybe that’s just me…XD

      • Bambi says:

        Please stop lying. Angelina did NOT ‘french kiss’ her brother. A quick 1 second kiss ON the lips with no tongue involved, is not ‘incestuous’. You clearly have a sick dirty mind and are a filthy pervert. Like Angelina said, YOU are the one with the problem.

  5. Ravensdaughter says:

    Huzzah! Even though she was Morticia the year she won her Oscar, the next year she wore that white dress and put on some weight and she was hot.
    Angie is just one of those people who loses weight when she is stressed out and/or running around too much. Brad needs to make her be bad girl and have her eat a juicy steak-rare, of course- or two:)
    Bummer-would have loved to revisit some pics of when she won her Oscar for BSA-maybe when she smooched her bro!

    • Wendy says:

      Well, judging from the above black dress picture, she graduated from Morticia to Lily Munster.

      As for:
      >>But now that she’s going to the Oscars simply as “the date” of a (multiple) nominee, Angelina thought she might be bored, so she decided to take the producers up on their offer.<<

      More like Angelina thought she might need the visibility, since she doesn't seem to have any work happening anytime soon. My guess is Best Director again, in the hopes that one of them will hire her. 2004 = pre-Pitt and triangle publicity bonanza that has lasted for seven long years. Now that the triangle looks to be well and truly dead for the public, it's time to take those exposure opportunities when you have them.

      • ahoyhoy says:

        Wendy, Brad & Angie don’t work at the same time, for the kids’ sake.
        Brad just had an extra-long shoot w/ ‘World War Z’. That’s why she has nothing coming out soon.
        I think she’s looking for something else to direct anyway, when Brad’s finally done with his current project.
        edit: I just checked imbd. She is acting again in April. From her interviews though, I don’t know how much longer she’ll act.

      • Wendy says:

        Which film would that be for? The only one that’s in pre-production is Maleficent and that’s not due out until 2015, plus she’s listed as the only cast member. It hardly seems likely they start filming in April if that’s the case.

      • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

        @Wendy
        As per IMDB:

        Untitled Kay Scarpetta Project
        Untitled Luc Besson/Angelina Jolie Project-2013
        Cleopatra-2013
        Gertrude Bell-2014
        Salt 2-2014
        Malefecent-2015

      • Bambi says:

        If the triangle is really, dead, then WHY are you always spewing hate about Angelina? You and fellow trolls Olivia, Heine, Maya, Capella, Poprocks etc, as loonistons you will NEVER *LET* it die. You are utterly obsessed with hating Angelina. The loonistons are the only ones keeping it alive. Hence me jumping ship from supporting Jen to supporting Angelina because I was sick of being embarrassed by the loonistons.

  6. Aiobhan says:

    They were right to invite her. I was not going to tune in because of the less than awe inspiring nominations and the fact that I will be working that Sunday. I am still secretly rooting for Viola to win but have a very strong suspicion that Patricia Mara may pull a surprise win like Adrien(sp) Brody did. I will puke up hot lava and black bile if i am right.

    Anyway… I may just sneak a peek at the show between breaks to watch the pre-show. And see if Brangelina snub Ryan on the red carpet like at the globes a few years ago. I will need a good laugh that day, lol.

    She looks amazing in all of those photos. She needs to put on as much wait as she had in those photos.

    • ahoyhoy says:

      The Academy heard all of Mara’s comments.

      I would bet on a Glenn Close upset—her 6th nom w/out a win and she’s GREAT in “Albert Nobbs” — before ‘Ungrateful’ Mara any day.

    • I Choose Me says:

      Um, what weight? The only one where she looks heavier (and that’s mostly in the face, bust and hips) is the white suit. In the one where she’s wearing the white gown and looking all soft and demure and fabulous, her weight looks exactly comparable to the first photo where she wore the black thrash ba…excuse me ‘liquid metal gown.’

      Anyway, one thing remains consistent in all those photos, the woman is downright gorgeous!

      • LAK says:

        exactly. people think the weight loss is a recent post Brad thing. Her arms in 2004 [white dress] are the same as 2009 [black dress]. she’s a smidge smaller in 2012, but not so much that it is a huge difference from her usual weight.

        BTW: in that white suit, she was shooting Lara Craft, and was on a special fattening diet. As you can see it went to face, boobs and mid section. Legs and arms are still small.

      • Aiobhan says:

        I need to apologize for the misspelling of weight.

        I think in some of her photos lately she has looked a little on the skinny side. I don’t think that she has an eating problem but may just be working too hard. I don’t know but I stand by my comment that those photos show a weight difference to me.

        I think it would be cool if Glenn Close wins.

    • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

      I’m hoping for a Ryan “whiner” Seacrest snub, too bad Brad wont have his cane anymore…Maybe Maddox can come and kneecap RC for mommy. 😀

  7. lisa says:

    There was no news when Aniston presented 2 2 years ago. Why would it be any different 2 years later.. Seriously what the hell do people think would happen. There were few if any pictures of Jennifer and John. The focus is on the nominees where it should be. The gossip hounds and such want some drama. There won’t be any because none exist.

    Angelina is asked to present because of her movie this year. It is opening overseas and it would be a smart move for her. Aniston as of yet has not been asked or not accepted. But why should it matter. Brad had an amazing year. Talking about his past relationship of 7 years ago is dumb. Let the man and his partner enjoy the celebration of his work.

    I think Jennifer is happy with Justin. How is there a triangle or whatever.

    I wish someone would pick a date for all this to end. Long over due.

    • Wendy says:

      Out of curiosity, how do you know if Aniston has been asked or not? Was the list of people who were asked published somewhere?

      • ahoyhoy says:

        lol!

        Aniston = burger

        Jolie = Filet Mignon

      • Wendy says:

        Given how she’s looking these days, “Beef Jerky” might be a lot more apt than filet mignon.

        Wendy is a straight-up, bonafied, certifiable hater! LOL!!!!

        Any remote adoration for Angie gets her going! Ha!

      • Wendy says:

        Ah yes… Asking for the source of information given in a comment = really gotten going. Note that presumably the information came right out of someone’s imagination, since I didn’t get an answer.

      • Camille (The original) says:

        Josephina: It’s becoming quite funny isn’t it lol. The amount of posting she does on threads of someone she can’t stand is amazing! I think Wendy might secretly have a little crush 😉 LOL. (yeah right)

      • Bambi says:

        Lol Josephine and Camille, Wendy and her ilk are the reason I’m an EX Aniston supporter. These loonistons sure do Jen no favors.

  8. spinner says:

    Oh my…looking at these pics, she’s just a shadow of her former self. She used to be so beautiful. She now looks like a bunch of sticks tied together.

    • truthSF says:

      I think she had more weight on her in the 2009 body then the 2004 body (except the face, which was fuller in 2004), if you compare the 2 photos. And 2004 was pre-Brangelina days in which she was supposed to be much healthier.

      Bottom line, like my 5’10” friend who happened to be the same age as Ms. Jolie, it doesn’t matter what they do, they will always have those skinny arms and chicken legs, but the boobs usually stays, lol.

    • Ava says:

      First of all it is rude and pathetic to insult a person because of their weight.

      Second I see really no difference in her arms in the pics. She looks pretty much the same. Still has a beautiful face. And although she has thin limbs she still has full hips and bust. She also has very healthy skin and hair.

      and the stick reference is stupid.

  9. olivia says:

    Well I for one am GLAD she is presenting. With her movie flopping big time and with nothing else to do and no work on the horizon the Oscar committee kindly gave her a job. Let us see if the b*tch pulls it off without a hitch. Though she better take her smugness down a few levels since most attendees have been enjoying way more success career-wise then she has. Oh dear.

    • Ava says:

      Wow you are angry!

      Angelina has enjoyed plenty of success post Oscar win….A Mighty Heart and Changeling brought her glowing reviews and many nominations.
      Salt and Wanted made big money domestically and overseas.

      And I think her personal life is more important to her than career. She has Brad and 6 kids….while other attendees are getting divorces and have no family.
      How could her movie have flopped when she herself said they expected it to not make anything? Unknown actors, subtitles, extremely brutal subject etc. It has success with Golden Globe nominations and Producers Guild Award, plus another award coming up at the Berlin Film Festival.

      She has plenty of movies she can do….especially Maleficent and the Luc Benson film in the Spring.

      Angelina will pull it off just fine. She is a great speaker and very confident.

      • ahoyhoy says:

        Ava, ‘olivia’ is the resident Jolie-hater. Positively rabid. She is so extreme, it’s gotta be some terrible resentment from her own personal life and/or psychology which she projects upon Angie.
        Sad, really.

      • Josephina says:

        @ AVA

        Ask the jealous haters is there another actress (Kate Winslet maybe?) who is young, living and has the decorated film career with nominations throughout their career? They refuse to read all of the nominations and awards that Angie has amassed over time. They need to read Angie’s IMDB and then go scream at the ocean!

        There IS a reason why she is called the Queen of Hollywood. She’s a bad ass, take-no-shit, accomplished and determined woman, and there is more to come!

      No work on horizon …. Jolie starts filming with Luc Besson in April in France am sure u r aware of that

      • mln76 says:

        Oh the rabid haters like to think that Angie isn’t working and that every announcement of a film is some ruse. It’s actually kind of humorous.

      • Wendy says:

        One has to wonder how that’s going to happen, as Besson’s IMDB page says that the untitled project is still “in development”. You think he’ll manage to write a script, find funding, a cast, locations and the whole film crew needed to do a film in the next 6 – 8 weeks?

        Do pigs fly?

      • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

        In-Dev means many things, just saying…It’s all subjective to context, and type of project. It could be costume fitting, voice acting, motion capture, scene walk throughs, cinematography scene set-ups, etc. I don’t think any project gets a go-ahead without at least a finished script, as it wouldn’t make sense.

        I don’t see anything with Besson. AJ’s IMDB says Malefecent as next project, I don’t see anything else. Looks like time off for rest and family, as this year was a killer for the JPs.

      • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

        Oops, I missed Projects In Development for AJ:
        Malefecent-2015
        Gertrude Bell-2014
        Salt 2-2014
        Untitled Luc Besson/Angelina Jolie Project-2013
        Cleopatra-2013
        Untitled Kay Scarpetta Project-?

        She has plenty of upcoming work.

      • olivia says:

        Yes, I know 🙂

        What this does mean, however, is that the untitled dramatic thriller she was considering with Luc Besson at the helm, announced late last year, appears to have fallen out of contention: shooting was meant to get underway in April, but THR’s sources say that Jolie is unlikely to do both films, and “Maleficent” is the priority.

    I generally like AJ. She’s always been really thin but sometimes she over does it. Sometimes she needs to try harder to look healthy. If not for her then as a model for her daughters.
    I always wondered if she had an overactive thyroid and lost weight rapidly if she under eats or is ill. By all accounts she eats. I just don’t think she eats enough.

    I hope she wears something great. No more spinster gowns.

    • Camille (The original) says:

      Co-sign.

    • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

      Cerulean, IDK what goes on with Angie’s weight, but I do know what happens to me, and maybe she has the same issue.

      When I get stressed I lose weight. When I lost an important family member (very important) I lost 15lbs, in about a month, and I already didn’t weigh much, and have a tall thin frame. I had to start drinking calorie shakes to stop losing more weight. It took me a while to gain that weight back, like 3 years I guess.

      Sometimes I think Angie is still getting over her mothers death. It definitely took a toll, and she hasn’t slowed down to recoup so I’m not surprised she’s still on the lighter side. She has put some weight, that she lost that year, back on, but it’s a process.

      Just my 2cents.

      • truthSF says:

        @aprayerforthewildatheart:

        Same as me, I can’t eat when I’m depressed. When my boyfriend/daughter’s father died suddenly, I (who naturally only weight 95 lbs @ 5’2″) lost 12 pounds in a month, and it took me more then 3 years to gain it back. Mostly because I didn’t realize my depression was affecting my diet to such an extreme.

      • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

        truthSF, Depression, and stress can take such a toll on a person. You just have no control over what’s happening to your body, and the lack of control makes it worse. I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙁 I hope you’re doing better now.

  11. lucy2 says:

    I kind of like the white suit but don’t remember her wearing that to the Oscars. I do remember hating her Morticia look the year she won.

    • LAK says:

      it’s a strange thing to say given her beauty, but it is the first time i noticed just how beautiful she was when she wore that suit.

      I think mostly i just dismissed her as a kooky goth and never really looked at her. She was breath taking in that suit.

      isn’t it sad that nowadays everyone only wears gowns?

      i miss cher at the oscars, even celine with her back to front trouser suit.

  12. JudyJudyJudy says:

    is marc bouwer the creme one? If so, I really agree that dress is ravishing and looks beautiful on her. sick sick sick of black.

  13. bella says:

    GAWD! Look at this woman’s face. Each time I see it, I’m blown away. Perfection. She is especially beautiful when her face is fuller, no? I still can’t stand her, though. I can’t get past the Billy Bob Thorton days…just can’t.

  14. Lol says:

    She was gorgeous in the white dress. Lainey gossip has better photos and her face , body and limbs are obviously fuller.ugh I blame brad for her looking sick.

    • Toot says:

      Please! Her face looks fuller in 2004, but her arms look the same in 2004 as they did in the 2012 SAG pic posted above.

    • Trek Girl says:

      Angelina really has always had a thin frame; sure, she had the big cheeks, but if you look closely at her earlier movies you’ll see that she really is just a thin person. Pay more attention to her movies, and take into account her frame and the features she inherited from her father, and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

  15. Original Chloe says:

    *fingers crossed for old school glamour*

  16. Reel Wheel says:

    No doubt she will insist on presenting “best foreign film” or “best documentary” or “best documentary short”.

  17. Elle says:

    I liked her old face better.

    • lizzie says:

      me too :c i hope that this time she will cover up her arms and her legs jesus she looked totally anorexic the last appearances she really needs to eat because she looks ill in mrs and mr smith she looked really good even looking like morticia in the academy awards and with blonde messy hair she looked better than skinny fancy look she have now :ccc

  18. casey says:

    great news. oscar winner angie to present this year.cannot wait.

  19. casey says:

    i just angie’s stalker ja will have shame and not stalk her at the oscar.

  20. Angle says:

    Why do they have to bring Aniston in Angie thread? Leave Angie alone. we want nothing got to do…

  21. Angle says:

    Oh I am looking forward for oscar for the two of them. It is also great she is presenting.

  22. carrie says:

    it’s weird usually the winners of the last year present in the next ceremony but this year,it seems there are no Firt,Leo,Portman or Bale as presenters

    OT:the commentaries are totally charming today!(irony)

    • Bite me says:

      I think it’s a given that those four will be presenting so there’s no need to announce jmo…:)

  23. Toot says:

    To be so angry at someone who has no bearing on your life is just sad Teresa, but reading your post shows me you’re a sad individual. I almost feel pity for you.

  24. Nikki says:

    Leave her children and her mother alone. You are the one that sounds crazy spouting off a vitriolic rant that has nothing to do with the article posted.

  25. gossplover says:

    @teresa you have serious mental issues
    Why so angry?? we have stars like demi in rehab the real people with issues yet you are here insulting a death woman,go back to female first people here are normal and are not vile and sick like you

  26. Bird says:

    Jolie’s face looks like a skull with skin stretched over it. She is grotesque to me.

  27. samira677 says:

    Wow Kaiser I don’t know what you’re talking in your write-up. So much is madeup. Angelina and Brad didn’t snub the Oscars because Angelina wasn’t nominated. They weren’t nominated so they didn’t attend. I don’t think they ever went to a ceremony in the last 6 or 7 years without one of them being nominated. I don’t get the claim Angelina is only presenting out of boredom. She went to several shows when only Brad was nominated and she never presented.

    Angelina looks pretty much the same in all of these photos except for the one in the suit. I don’t understand how people can look at these photos and say she completely changed. I think it’s obvious that people just want to attack her.

  28. Bermuda Blues says:

    CHECK OUT ANGIE AND HER MONACO STYLE!

    It’s clear where Shiloh gets her steeze from.

  29. Kara Ann says:

    AJ looked her best in that white pantsuit. If she looks heavier b/c of diet and exercise then I think she should do that same diet and exercise for all of her films.
    Second, thanks to whoever upthread that reminded me about Christian Bale presenting at the Oscars, now I have a reason to watch!! Haven’t seen many of the nominated movies this year but I really enjoyed The Fighter and I really enjoy watching Bale.

  30. Annie says:

    I think it’s odd that this thread has been focused on Jolie’s weight or lack of…
    She is a truly accomplished women who should be celebrated for just that….
    I havent been a huge fan but I certainly admire her charitable efforts and her obvious love of children.
    Why oh why does is her appearance such cause for debate?
    I think this is much more of a reflection on the posters than Jolie

  31. Maya says:

    I don’t get the huge deal over Jolie presenting. Is this also some type of campaign for extra attention or what?
    There are so many interesting nominations, many of them featuring really great actors, so as for the presenters? Who really cares.
    I don’t watch the Oscars to look at presenters. I watch to see who’ll win the Oscar.

  32. Capella says:

    Reading through this read, I finally understood why the Brange has full security 24/7.

    The Terroristic Brangeloonies are a scary bunch. I would be freaked out too, and be surrounded by security to keep these lunatics, who are too much into my business, far-far away from me and my children.

    Shame on you. Just read what you are writing, about 2 perfect strangers you might never meet. And how you are attacking each other over 2 people who don’t even know you exist! Try and get back to earth, and to basic human decency.

    • Sakyiwaa says:

      you should check up on the Terroristic Jenhens on FF, IUC and Dlisted… the same could be said about them…

      • Capella says:

        oh just read how that mln thing went on and on further down. This is beyond anything any excessive fan of any brand has ever gone this far. I feel like helping some looking for their marbles! They obviously can’t afford to lose anymore.

      • Camille (The original) says:

        Sakyiwaa: I think ‘Looniston’ is a far more fitting word for them and it appears we have a fair few resident ones here 🙁 .

  33. original sandy says:

    jolie/pitt star power brings rating, taking my own advice, moving on, the same people always trashing jolie/pitt are the same people will defend the other person like they know her personally, j/p are talented people who take their craft seriously,ultimately it is about the work, not tabloids gossips. j/p deserves to be where they are. congrats to brad and angie on a great year.

  34. Sakyiwaa says:

    As a fan, this is awesome to hear! i hope she looks mind-blowingly gorgeous per usual! 🙂

  35. Thelma says:

    Angelina is really beautiful. I actually like her in the suit the least. I think her face is too rounding that one. I think as a poster said, that was when she had to put on weight for Lara Croft. In the others, the dresses just hang on her beautifully like on a model. I think the only difference between 2004 white halter and 2012 is that her face is slightly thinner. Lainey as a full set and I think she’s even more attractive in 2012. There’s a sereneness that she has now that’s palpable.

  36. CHRISTIAN_GIRL says:

    You all know Brad wanted to see her present again.

    She was going to be there seated right next to him front and center, but he was cheesing so hard at the Golden Globes and he wanted that again. Yep, I believe it.

    Also, KFP2 is nominated too. Wait, that’s 10 nominations between the two of them. I would call that impressive. Any other non-existent drama of another actress will surely pale in comparison, and I don’t care who she brings as her date, and when her movie opens. This couple actually has nominations, so NO publicity stunt on their part. Her’s, well time will tell.

  37. Bambi says:

    Obviously I missed all the Pop Rock stuff, but he is a classic reason why Angelina and Brad need security. The loonistons are the most obsessed, deranged and dangerous fan group out there. Holy heck these people are effed up in the head! 🙁
