Angelina Jolie: Inside the Awards Ceremony

Inside the Santa Barbara film festival, Angelina Jolie was all smiles as she accepted the “Performance of the Year” award from Clint Eastwood.

As previously reported by Gossip Girls, Jolie arrived to the ceremony with her partner, Brad Pitt, who refused to speak to the media - leaving the spotlight to Angelina.

After collecting the award for her role in A Mighty Heart, the Girl Interrupted actress spoke about dealing with the insanity of Hollywood. Jolie said that it is much easier with Pitt and their children at her side, telling, “I think it’s the only way to juggle it.”

Forbidden to ask about the rumored pregnancy, press on hand questioned Jolie on what she thinks it will take for the press to move beyond she and Pitt’s off-screen life and onto more significant things.

“I think it’s going to take, partly, people wanting to learn those things. I mean, I know, that’s what I look for when I wake up in the morning — when I go online or when I get the paper. And you can find it if you’re looking for it. And you can avoid silliness if you want to. So it’s a personal choice of each individual,” Jolie tells.
