Rumor: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to Skip Oscars

Posted on January 26, 2010

E Online is reporting that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will not be attending this year's Academy Awards.

Angelina Jolie will certainly be missed on the red carpet.

As for why the couple, not seen together publicly since a December outing in New York, has suddenly caught a case of the camera-shies?

Jolie will be heading to Venice at the end of February to start production on The Tourist, a remake of a French thriller costarring Johnny Depp in which Jolie plays a vengeful Interpol agent.

The Oscars are being held on March 7th. Angelina Jolie shooting a film at the end of February is not a good excuse for missing the Oscars. There is no film that shoots during the Oscars. It's the Oscars. Plus, the film crew and cast would love it if Angelina attended and mentioned the movie. The news that they are not attending comes amidst rumors the hot Hollywood couple is splitting up.
