Angelina Jolie Watch

More photos of Angelina and Brad at the 2009 Oscars.This time we’ve got HQ!  There are photos of Angie receiving a kiss on the cheek from slightly crazy but super talented Mickey Rourke. There are also photos of the Brad and Angelina laughing it up, greeting fans and giving a TV interview.

Just a reminder Angie’s Oscar nominated work is now available on DVD.  It includes two bonus featurettes:

-Partners in Crime: Clint Eastwood and Angelina Jolie which is a 13-minute piece that documents the film making progress
-and the five-minute “The Common Thread: Angelina Jolie Becomes Christine Collins.”

I haven’t been able to find out when Benjamin Button comes out on DVD. It’s actually still in a lot of theaters so I’d predict early summer. Check out the photos.

Our 2009 awards season culminates tonight with Angelina and Brad at this year’s Oscars. Angie looks stunning in an Elie Saab gown, jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz, black heels by Faragamao and a Lana Marks clutch. Brad’s tux is by Tom Ford. Just a reminder, like you guys needed it, Angelina’s nominated in the Best Actress category for her role in the Changeling. Brad’s nominated for Best Actor for his lead in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Neither have won any of the major awards so far. That puts the odds against them. Still we shouldn’t give up hope.

The 2009 Oscars take place at the Los Angeles Kodak Theater. Huck Jackman hosts. Celeb performers include Beyonce’ and Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgen.

I’m proclaming Angie’s dress a winner. Figure skimming outfits look so good on her. Check out the pics below. I’ll post more as soon as I get them

This is a lovely interview with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They are openly affectionate, at one point Angelina touches his face, and very complementary of one another’s performances. It’s just darn cute.

Angelina and donned a sculpted yellow and black Armani Prive for the 2009 BAFTA awards at the Royal Opera House in London, England today.  She topped of the outfit with with Christian Louboutinn shoes and a diamond Asprey bracelet. This is the first time Angelina’s worn Armani Prive  this awards season. She wore Max Azria to the Critic’s Choice and SAG awards and a Atelier Versace to the Golden Globes.  Brad knocked it out of the park wearing a tux by his Tom Ford.

Unfortunately neither Brad nor Angie took home trophies from the “British Oscars”.   The Curious Case of Benjamin Button did win for best production design, make up and hair, and special visual effects. Kate Winslett beat out Angeline  in the best actress category for her role in The Reader. Mickey Rourke triumphed in the best actor category for his comeback role in The Wrestler

Lots of photos below. Click to enlarge.

Angelina and and Brad did indeed dazzle at today’s Japanese premier of Bejamin Button.  Angelina a wore a gorgeous floor length black.  The couple posed with Button director Jim Fincher and signed autographs. Several fans had Mr. and Mrs Smith posters.    Interesting to note that Japan is one of the first places that the relationship between Brad and Angelina was very evident.  Cameras actually caught the couple making googly eyes at one another during a Mr. and Mrs. Smith press conference.   (I searched around YouTube quickly but couldn’t find the video.  If any of you can please let me know.)

I’m going to be honest.  I think she should have worn this dress to the SAG awards. I didn’t hate her blue dress, which she apparently wore backwards, but it wasn’t nearly as flattering as this body skimming number. What do you think?

Enjoy the photos and video after.

Oscar nominations came out this morning. Congratulations go out to Angelina and Brad who were nominated for their work in The Changeling and Benjamin Button.. (It’s not been a great awards season for them so we’ll need to keep our fingers crossed.)

Angelina had this to say about her nomination: “Working with Clint Eastwood was a reward in itself that will last me a lifetime. It has been an exceptional year for acting, and I am honored to be in the company of these talented actors who performances all deserve this recognition.”

She was also pleased to see Kung Fu Panda received a nomination. “I am also happy that ‘Kung Fu Panda’ was noticed by the Academy and proud to be a part of a film my entire family loves so much.”

I didn’t expect them to hit the red carpet so soon but I must admit I’m pretty pleased about it. Angelina and Brad unveiled the much nominated The Curious Case Benjamin Button for their German fans on Monday (January 19).  Angie wore a white Akris pantsuit, Asprey jewels and Stuart Weitzman shoes. Brad is wearing his old favorite, Tom Ford.  Enjoy the pics.

I’m not really loving Angie’s upsweep.  It thinks it’s too heavy for her slender face.  Her hair looks best loose or pulled tightly into a updo or ponytail, similar to her look at Critic’s Choice Awards earlier this month. I do enjoy seeing her try out the lighter colors.  They help accent her curves.  She’s a bit heavier than she was before the twins were born but definately not her perfect weight.  I liked her Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

What do you think of  Angie’s look?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt helped kick off major award season tonight.  Angelina was stunning in an Atelier Versace gown, Jimmy Choo “Emma” Satin Sandals and jewelry by by Neil Lane. Angie’s flowing locks were coiffed by celeb hair stylist David Babaii. Her makeup artist was Mary Burton. Stylist Jennifer Rade coordinated the look. Brad donned a simple Tom Ford(no surprise there) tux for the show.

It’s interesting that Angelina is choosing lighter colors this year. The color of this gown is very similar to the one she wore for the Critics Choice Awards last week. Angelina and Brad didn’t taken any trophies home this evening. Mickey Rourke won out in the Best Actor category for The Wrestler while Kate Winslett won Best Actress for Revolutionary Road.

You can find more information on Angelina’s fashion team after the gallery.  I usually know a little about who’s doing what with Angie fashion wise but thanks to Just Jared, I was able to research her entire Golden Globe team.

I’m not sure how often Angelina uses Babaii but he’s got a quite a reputation. He and Kate Hudson recently launched an eco-friendly haircare line thatbenefits Wildaid.  Wildaid is a non profit that helps reverse environmental damage to wildlife. His other clients include Uma Thurman, Nicole Kidman, Scarlett Johansson, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Mary Burton worked with Angelina on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Other film credits include Die another Day and X-Men.

Jennifer Rade is Angelina’s long time stylist which means she’s done everything from edgie Angie to her recent softer looks.  According to her website, she “styled” Angelina for the recent cover Brad shot for W magazine.  I doubt she stylist for the breastfeeding photo. That was probably more off the cuff which is why it’s so endearing.

Benjamin Button is getting rave reviews. In fact, the film leads today’s Critic’s Choice nominations including a Best Actor nod for Brad, a Best Actress nomination for Cate Blanchett along with a Best Picture and Best Acting Ensemble nomination for the cast. This could mean another Oscar nod for Brad. This is going to be very interesting because our Angelina was also nominated for Best Actress for her work in Changeling and Changeling itself garnered a Best Picture nomination.

Looks like it was a family night all around. Brad parents attended the premier along with Angelina’s god mother Jacqueline Bisset. I wonder how much longer the family will be in the United States.  More great photos below.
