Angie’s Second Oscar Will Be Honorary

And the Oscar goes to...” is a phrase with which Angelina Jolie is quite familiar – the actress picked up a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award in 2000 for her turn in Girl, Interrupted, after all.

This fall, La Jolie will pick her second Oscar, this time in recognition of her humanitarian work.

Indeed, she, Angela Lansbury, Steve Martin, and costume designer Piero Tosi (Rocco and His BrothersDeath in Venice, Ludwig) all will be recognized by the Academy’s Board of Governors during an awards ceremony on Nov. 16 in Los Angeles.

Individually,” said Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, their accomplishments are supreme and wonderful.

Collectively, this is going to turn out to be a terrific, fun, and memorable evening.

I shall be waiting for my invite then.
