About That Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie Showdown
This is the best video I could find of Jennifer Aniston and Jack Black presenting the award for the Best Animated Film at last night’s 81st Oscars. Proving that we as a public are still fascinated by the Brangelina vs. Jennifer Aniston saga, the show presenters panned to Jolie during the presentation. Both tacky and totally expected (and required).
Jennifer looked nervous and tore the hell out that envelope and she did stumble a bit at the beginning of the presentation, but hey, she got up there, got through it and didn’t blow a gasket.
For Angelina’s part, she put her best fake smile on and you know she was shooting pity daggers at poor Jennifer. Both women looked gorgeous, although Jen’s hair was frizzy and Angelina wore jewelry that resembled something you’d win in a gumball machine.
Who won that showdown? Mostly a draw, although Jennifer gets props for going out there in front of her ex-husband and his mistress, merely feet away in front of the whole world. Ask Debbie Reynolds how she’d feel doing to same in front of Elizabeth Taylor and Eddie Fisher.
I know it’s a shameless case of schadenfreude for me to feel a sense of pleasure that neither Angelina or Brad won an Oscar, but for those who don’t think that Hollywood pays attention to shady behavior and refuses to reward it, think again. Why do you think Tom Cruise has never won an Oscar? Shady cults are frowned on too.

I’m sorry I gave you this hit. It wasn’t a draw. anustain looked uncomfortable and pathetic. She should stick to the Emmys.

Thanks for the hit. The Brangeloonies are tenacious!

“Shady behavior”? For God’s sake, the fell in love – get over it! If you knew Jennifer Aniston and/or Angelina Jolie, you wouldn’t talk this way. Aniston is nice enough but very into the whole Hollywood-girls scene of shopping, image, trendy, etc. Angelina is more interested in helping poor children – you think she travels to the world’s worst places as UN rep because she has nothing better to do? She puts her body AND her money where her mouth is when it comes to charity. Public has no idea the half of what she does for poor kids around the globe. You ought to be embarassed, you poor desperate pathetic jealous loser.

I’ll stick with jealous loser, I absolutely prefer Jen. She is beautiful and seems like a lovely person. If they, Brad and Angelina, should have waited until he got divorced, not play mattress mambo in an adulterous relationship. That would’ve given them the respect they seem to crave, they could then stop overcompensating.

if anyone is pathetic it is jolie. she is nothing but a shameless attention whore. and i am not a fan of jennifer by any means. she needs to find a real man instead of mayer, but i will take her anyday over jolie.

This is the best description of both of them that I’ve read. I totally agree with this article. Jolie and Brad are both “shady” and everyone in Hollywood knows its. Jen was a bit nervous (and the hair could have been better) but overall I still prefer Jennifer. She seems like a better person and more down to earth. She does a lot for charity too, she just doesn’t need to use it for publicity like Jolie does.

Angelina looked like an ice queen on the red carpet, Jennifer looked too orange and she had funny hair, Brad looked like he was enjoying the whole thing. Was it totally necessary to cut to Angelina while Jennifer was doing her thing? I mean, seriously. Have some class, people.
And the “Oh we’re okay” bit pulled by both women looked too fake, like they were trying too hard. I think I would have liked it more had they shot evil daggers at each other with their eyes.

Angelina is the one that is pitiful. Jennifer is the girl next door. Jolie actually would scare me with all the voodoo tatoo scribblish. Koodos Mr. Pitt the world now knows how shady you and the “ice queen” are

Yes! Thank you! This is the only article I’ve read that commented on how cheap those giant emeralds managed to look! Gumball machine earrings – exactly!

And nobody has commented on just how weird it was that:
A: She was presenting with Jack Black, Angelina’s costar in Kung Fu Panda.
B: She was presenting the award for Best Animated Feature, for which Kung Fu Panda was one of the nominated films, and which Angelina Jolie costarred in with Jack Black.
That was just creepy. I think there is a new game…Six Degrees Of Brad Pitt.

If I were Ryan Seacrest, next time I met up with Angiecuda, I would turn my back to her and ignore her competely. In fact, I might take one look and stalk off, preferably in a wide arc.

This is in response to #3…I just thought you should know that Aniston is not all about shopping and hanging out in LA. She donates to charitits, including St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Friends of El Faro, Project A.L.S, Habitit for Humanity and Clothes Off Our Back. So it’s not like Jolie is holier than thou and Aniston just doesn’t care about the world around her. I respect all that Jolie and Pitt do for others, but don’t count Jen out either!!!

Angelina ALREADY has an Oscar, THREE golden globes, TWO sags. Brad has two Oscar noms.
While Jen and her Huge chin have zero oscar nominations or awards and this stage is the closet she will get.
God you Jen fans make her look pathetic, how can we believe she has moved on when her Fans refuse to??????
