One Step Closer To The Academy Award
Miz Angelina Jolie has previously been honored by her peers and awarded the prestigious Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her feisty role in the film Girl, Interrupted.
Now, the thespian and humanitarian seems likely to take home another Academy Award.
Jolie has just been nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Actress, a good Oscar precursor.
Ange is being honored for her role in the Brad Pitt-produced A Mighty Heart. She played the wife of slain journalist Daniel Pearl in the biopic.
The movie also scored a nod for Best Film.
Congrats to both Angie and Bradley!

You just jinxed her, Perezoso
fuckin ho
fuck angelina and fuck brad.
a mighty fart was a big flop , she doesn't deserve an oscar for that shit.
third
First bitches, first! Suck me dry and make me a grilled cheese sandwich! Cause I'm first! First! Ah its good to be first!
You forgot me ya fuckwit.
Good for her! I finally got the A Mighty Heart DVD and Angelina did an awesome job. Oscar number 2 on the way, maybe?
first?? congrats i love her
i win!
2nd
talk is cheap. We'll see what happens. Didn't she win that award for "girl interrupted" because she played herself so perfectly?
She's an adulterer and yet you give her a freakin Halo.
first?
First!
also, congrats to Angelina
hearing that. Jennifer Anniston does the worst movies, they are all comedies with big name stars so she can look like a big star…
i hope they do give her an award shes a good person!! unlike alot of celebrities now a days!!
first!
2nd
Angelina is the best. Beautiful, smart and a good actress.
first
amen
They always nominate at least one movie 'with a social message' to justify their mostly profiteering existence. Bonafide nomination? Will rent it and see.
THAT MOVIE SUCKS, IT WAS ABOUT THE WIFE AND NOT THE GUY WHO DIE.
-
-
BITCH PLEASE!!!
-

The movie bombed and got bad reviews….gee, be nice if they actually nominated something worthwhile.
By the way, if she loses any more weight she's going to look like Popeye's girlfriend Olive Oil.
The movie was awful and very slow & long! And she was terrible in it & her accent kept changing through out the movie-very dissapointing!
25th!
21st dnt care tho love u perez
Fantastic news!! "A Mighty Heart!!" YIPPEE. AJ was absolutely sublime in this role. I hope many more nominations follow. This should crank up the psycho-hater machine to full blast in order to smear AJ. No worries she is such a wonderful person.
This homewrecking whore needs to disappear. She is about as noble of a character as Paris Hilton. Stop glorifying her, Perez.
Bull S@#T! There is not way this pig should win anything. Neither should her spineless boyfriend.
no she isn't. she's just a dumb whore.
Re: UKer – shut the fuck up. yes she did. she's ten time's better than most shitty actresses out there.
CONGRATS ANGELINA AND LOVE YOU PEREZ!!!
Tang Wei was way way interesting and good actress on that roster.
CONGRATULATIONS TO BRAD & ANGIE.
An "Independent Spirit Award"?? Are you serious Perez?
TRUST - its one step closer to the razzies, NOT an Oscar. She is a joke in Hollywood. A joke! Mark my words fat boy - it'll NEVER happen!
"Girl, Interrupted" sucked - it was nothing like the book which also sucked. Angelina Jolie is a joke of a travesty of an actress - her big ol' tits and willingness to fuck a snake if you held it have made her what she is.
It's a shame what happened to Daniel Pearl but it is a thinly known secret that he was an operative for the CIA (not an agent, an operative - a person, sometimes an unwitting one, who is employed by the CIA to provide info, go places their spooks can't etc.) he was killed by shrewd soldiers who saw him as a threat NOT by a squad of Islamic zealots who want to rain firey death on the US (as the US govt would like you to believe) - her mundane performance was (fortunately) lost in the propaganda of that film.
Angelina Jolie: EW’s Entertainer of the Year
“Angelina Jolie is currently fulfilling fanboy fantasies in Beowulf with her role as Grendel’s mom. Grendel’s naked mom. In digital 3-D, no less. But energizing her base is hardly the 32-year-old actress’ only accomplishment this year. In A Mighty Heart, Jolie strapped on a prosthetic pregnancy belly, donned a curly wig, and delivered the sort of heart-wrenching turn that reminded audiences why she won that Academy Award (for 1999’s Girl, Interrupted) in the first place. In other words, she acted.”

Re: Jen – You should know by now she only has one accent - the same one for Might Heart, same one for Alexander, same one for Beowulf… she has NO RANGE!
Congrats to Angie and Brad!
hahahahahaha..oh my god perez i love it..keep it coming…keep posting and rubbing the haters noses in it..they keep hating and hating and angelina keeps racking up award after award…so fucking funny man…i'm dying here…it's great to see how riled up they get when angelina comes out on top again and again…keep pissing them off..you are doing a great job…i love this site….hahahahah

go angie!!! shes amazing in that movie and i think she deserves an oscar for it!
I'M HAPPY FOR THEM.
Congratulations to them!
YOU PEOPLE ARE MORONS!! Firstly, to the dickhead who compared here to Paris Hilton, Paris Hilton is nothing but a waste of skin and bone, she has no talent whatsoever, unless looking like a waxwork is a talent.
Angelina's mother was French so I doubt very much that she did a bad French accent.
She wasn't married when she met Brad so she was not the adulterer, he was.
Why does everyone want her lips though? They always look horrible and lumpy.
The big question is though: When is Angie going to join the "Britney Celeb Defense League," — and add her name to the list of celebs who speak out in defense of the Paparazzied-to-death popster Brit. Check out www.crabbygolightly.com for the list on the BCDL!
i hope they win.
Jennifer Aniston is on the Oscars committee this year !!!!! oh man this is gonna get good !!!!
LOL! So, the Independent Spirit Awards are now known as The Awards For Films That Tanked At
the Box Office But We Want It Recognized Anyway.
How pathetic.
Her lips look lumpy and uneven. Looks like somebody smacked her in the mouth.
Why are you ALL OF A SUDDEN given this homewrecking, baby snatching shrew all this POSITIVE (+) attention. (((First))) you MISLEAD the public by telling us she's Entertainment Weekly's top entertainer of the year, when it's (((actually))) J.K. Rowling….. now this!
P.S. I love NAMBLA!!!!!!!!!! I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge (huge) NAMBLA supporter. Lydia Cornell = supporter of NAMBLA rights.
SHE WON AN OSCAR FOR PLAYING A CRAZY LADY. HOW HARD WAS THAT FOR HER?
Whoo-hoo! Go Angie!!!! She is an awesome actress and that movie was very moving. Hoep that she wins!
She's disgusting these days on many levels, and she's not looking too hot these days either. Bad karma???

I love angie! Congrats! She totally deserves to win.
She’ll get a GG and an Oscar nomination .
Are you kidding me? Forget all the drama in her personal life- this woman cannot act her way out of a paper bag. She has no emotion, no personality, everything about her is BORING!!!
She’ll get a GG and an Oscar nomination too .
Re: DJACHICAGO –
Yeah!! Proud to be a Chicagoan. I agree with you 100% This bitch can't act, except for jacking around idiots like Perez here. She's got you snowed Perez!! Humanitarian my ass!!
Perez- I think you should blog more about THE WAHLBERGS & NKOTB!
Jennifer Aniston is on the Oscars committee this year !!!!! oh man this is gonna get good !!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Along with 5600 or so other industry types. Are you saying JA s so unprofessional she wouldn't vote for AJ if AJ's was the best performance by an actress? I thought JA was "classy" and "moral" and the "girl-next-door?"
Go Angelina Go!! and Brad too.
This is doubtful.
Great for Angie and Brad. Angie is great!
IS ANGIE GOING TO WEAR HER BROWNFACE TO THE SPIRIT AWARDS like she did in A MIGHTY FART?
BROWNFACE IS SOOOO 1930s.
fucking slut bag.
Why doesn't she stay home with the kids??? Make some sacrifices, she is selfish moving them around so much

There nothing classy and moral about Jennifer Maniston. She talked about how being f**kable is the way to make it in Hollywood. Well Maniston, if you have talent and looks like the gorgeous Angie, you don't have to be f**kable to make it in Hollywood, you make it on your talent.
Jennifer Aniston is going to be pissed.. She wanted that role because she thought it would bring her an Oscar.

Perez do your homework before you blab shit…this is nominees for the Independent Spirit Awards…for indy films…she is not even in the talks for getting an Academy Award this year…you really are one of the worlds biggest tool boxes.
She should have never won the first Oscar. The movie sucked and she played herself. What a joke! You're so obviously biased Perez. Why do you salivate over some celebutards like Angelina and not others? This woman is neither the saint nor the brilliant actress you so like to espouse.
A man would have to put a pillow case over Jen Maniston's head to want to eff her.
Re: GladGladGlad –
I'm sorry but did I write anything other than it;s funny that Jennifer Aniston is on the Oscars committee this year? no I didnt so good day douchebag !!
I doubt she'll get an Oscar nod, the film went straight to DVD, almost..and her performance had no range. Bitch needs a hit movie that doesn't Only appeal to video game playing 13 yr olds.

**********************************
No way Maniston could pull that part off, she is in no way good enough an actor to do so.
Hope she and Brad are saving up enough money for shrinks and Rehabs for the kids. They get dragged around the world while mommy and daddy go from project to project to project. They should have the children made into little Oscar like statues that sit on their mantle. They would still impress stupid people but it wouldn't hurt any kids. Angelina, collecting children won't fix that empty place inside you.
Perez,
Does Angelina Jolie pay you for writing such stupid things ?
Of course, she won't get an oscar nod - what for ?
angelina sucks.

Just love it when haters go crazy and more and more miserable each day!!! Way to go Jolie and Pitt! Way to go, Perez! It's another celebration day! Keep them unhappy, Perez because they have no respect for you. It's so good to be a Brangelina fan.
Not impressed by this poseur-whore. "A Mighty Heart" was a turdfest. Not popular at all.
Please who cares an Oscar means shit these days anyway
Still don't like her.
Just love it when haters go crazy and more and more miserable each day!!! Way to go, Jolie and Pitt! Way to go, Perez! It's another celebration day with the Brangelina. Keep it coming, Perez and make the haters explode because they have no respect for yah!

Just say 'no' to AJ!
WHEN R U GONNA HAVE A SEX CHANGE OPERATION SO U CAN IMPERSONATE THIS SKANKY JUNKIE WITH HER BROTHERS FINGERS UP HER FISHY CRACK TWAT?
blah…that movie was all over the place…she had one good scream of absolute emotional breakdown + that was about it…
My vote is for ANGE!..Team Jolie-Pitt!!!!!!
