Charlize
Theron Shuns Academy Awards
2/17/08
Actress Charlize Theron is shunning red carpet glamour at this year's
(08) Oscars ceremony - in favor of her pajamas.
The 32-year-old - who won a Best Actress Academy Award in 2004 for
Monster - and director/actor boyfriend Stuart Townsend have no plans to
attend the 2008 ceremony, but will cheer on their Hollywood peers from the
comfort of their living room sofa.
She says, "We are not going. I don't think you go to those kind of
award shows unless you are nominated.
"I think it's a special thing if you get a nomination, or your
film does.
Then you go.
"But we don't have any nominations or anything like that in the
house, so we sit in our jammies and watch it on the couch."
The annual awards event will take place in Los Angeles on 24 February
(08).
