Angelina Jolie Watch

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.
