Angelina Jolie Watch

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.”

Cuteness. Find out what Angelina’s favorite candy is.

Angelina looked stunning at the DVD release of Kung Fu Panda and the premiere of the companion adventure story, Secrets of the Furious Five earlier today in Hollywood.

Angie talked about  4-month-old Vivienne and Knox and their blossoming personalities.  “They’re great. They’re still so little, but they do [have their own personalities], she the mom of six said.   She added that the twins are getting very “smiley” and their personalities are starting to “shine.”

The rest of the kids are proud of the film.  “I think it’s a great film, and it’s brought a lot of joy to children – and to my children, absolutely,” Jolie told People magazine. “My kids love it. They’re very very proud, they’ve got mom  dolls.”

While Brad has expressed his support for Barack Obama and attended his acceptance speech in Chicago, Angie still isn’t letting own who she voted for.   “I was pleased to see how excited so many people were,” she said at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre event.

Angelina, Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman were on hand were present when DreamWorks’ Jeffrey Katzenberg “presented a check for $1 million to the Conservation International in support of their efforts for the preservation of pandas in their natural habitat.”

Angelina was pleased that proceeds from the movie could do some good. “We are so privileged in everything we get to do in this business, and the amount of money this film has made. To be able to share that and do some good always feels good.”

I’m impressed at how the family has been able to stay underwraps while in the US.  Click below to enlarge photos.

I know I’m doing this backwards but I finally got a chance to sit down and post pictures from the Kung Fu Panda photocall from earlier today.  When asked if the feel good movie about a lovable Panda gives the message that being overweight is okay, Angelina gave the media and emphatic “No”.  Instead she said the cartoon encourages people to embrace “whatever makes you different, whatever is unique about you, embrace it and try to be yourself.”

Angelina called the film a ” classic tale, with a nice moral message that as a parent you feel your children can watch.”   Angelina also said that the family is considering staying in France for the birth.   Angelina wore Thomas Wyde for the session.  Co-stars Dustin Hoff and Jack Black look like loads of fun.

Just stunning!

It looks like Angelina’s Kung Fu Panda co-starts can’t keep their mouths. In addition to yesterday’s twins guffaw by Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman revealed Angelina’s due date in a separate conversation with Today’s Natalie Morales. Due dates are dicey and who knows if Dustin even got it right. Still, Angelina did confirm she’s a few months off in her Today interview.

I wonder how long the family plans to stay in France and if Angelina will actually give birth in a more remote location like she did the last time. Angie has said that she gets the giggles with she’s pregnant. Looks like that that’s true. Check out the snippet. It’s lots of fun.

According to Access Hollywood, Angelina has confirmed that she’s indeed having twins. In an interview that took place on Wednesday in Cannes, Angelina told Today’s Natalie Morales that she and Brad are expecting two little ones. Here’s a snippet of the co-interview she did with Jack Black to promote Kung Fu Panda:

“You’re gonna have as many as (the) ‘Brady Bunch’ when you have these,�? Jack joked.

“It’s confirmed? Is it two?�?, Natalie asked.

“Yeah, yeah, we’ve confirmed that already,�? Angelina responded. “Well, Jack’s just confirmed it actually.�?

“Is that true?�?, Jack said jokingly.

“Yeah, you did,�? Angelina replied.

“Sorry,�? Jack concluded.

“So you’re having twins?�?, Natalie asked, as Angelina nodded with a ‘yes.’

“Do you know the sexes of the babies�?, Natalie asked. “Or, are you keeping that private?�?

“We would like to keep that private,�? Angelina said.

“Are you going to stay here in France to deliver?�?, Natalie also asked at one point.

“Possibly,�? Angelina responded.

I’m wondering if the delivery in France is a red herring. Surely she knows where she plans to have her babies by now? A snippet of the segment will air on Access Hollywood tonight while the interview in it’s entirety will air tomorrow morning on Today. Now that we know it’s twins, I wonder if it’s two boys, two girls or one of each. Only time will tell. Did you guess twins or just a single baby?

Two of Angie’s movies are set to debut at Cannes late next month.

Her 1920s kidnap thriller, Changeling (directed by Clint Eastwood), is already building buzz to take home the top prize, the Palme d’Or, according to Variety.

Her animated adventure Kung Fu Panda will also be screened. Angelina gives voice to the Mistress Tigress character.

This year’s festival is set for May 14-25.

She hasn’t started the actual voice work but Kung Fu Panda already has a release date.

June 6th 2008

Unfortunately, it looks like we will have to wait a whole year to hear Angie as an animated tiger. By them my daughter will be a year and a half old and I am planning for this to be her first movie in a theater.

As you know Angie is no stranger to voice over work. She did a fantastic job as Lola a super sexy fish in “Shark Tales�?

As a side note as well: Gwyneth has denied working with Brad in “Dirty Tricks�? at this years Comic-Con, however she said she would love to act with Brad given the opportunity.
