For Angelina Jolie, Oscar night is a bittersweet occasion. She told MTV News that the first thing that comes to mind when she thinks Oscar is "how much it meant to my mom, when she was alive. My mom always loved the show." Marcheline Bertrand died in 2007 at age 56 from ovarian cancer.
But on the red carpet Sunday night (February 26), there was also much to celebrate for Jolie. The actress was supporting her partner, Brad Pitt, a best-actor nominee for his role as baseball manager Billy Beane in "Moneyball." And as a producer of the film, Pitt could also take home a statuette for Best Picture.
According to Jolie, Pitt is already a winner. "It's really about the film," she said. "When you get the film out, and the film's received well, then it's a success. And then tonight is going to be the icing on the cake, but either way the film is great and so he's proud. And he should be."
In all, "Moneyball" was nominated for six Oscars, including best Actor in a Supporting Role for Jonah Hill and Best Adapted Screenplay. Pitt is also featured in another Best Picture nominee, Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life."
Jolie herself is no stranger to the Academy Awards stage. She won the best supporting actress Oscar in 2000 for her role in "Girl, Interrupted." And in 2009 she was nominated for best actress for "Changeling."
Jolie's father, Jon Voight, is also an Oscar winner. He won for his lead role in the 1978 film "Coming Home."
