Nomination0 Comments

Jolie is nominated for Best Actress at the 81st Academy Awards for portraying Christine Collins in The Changeling.

Working with Clint Eastwood was a reward in itself that will last me a lifetime. To receive a nomination from the Academy on top of that is a privilege beyond any expectation. It has been an exceptional year for acting, and I am honored to be in the company of these talented actors whose performances all deserve this recognition.
