[Blind Gossip] This pair of esteemed actors didn’t show up to the Oscars this year.
They privately said that they weren’t attending because they weren’t nominated. But we know the real story! As former Oscar winners and Hollywood big shots, they were definitely invited to The Academy Awards. But they talked before the event and mutually decided not to go. Here’s why:
He knew that if he attended the Oscar pre-parties… and the Oscars ceremony… and the Oscar post-parties, that he would have to behave himself and watch what he said and to whom he said it. He wanted to party without restrictions. So that’s what he did all week.
She was asked to be a presenter this year, but refused. She is a little gun shy about talking to people right now. She had an odd moment in the spotlight in the past year, and now she would just rather lay low for a while. No red carpet or questions or spotlight for her!
So, together they decided: “If you’re not going, then I’m not going!”
By the way, these two are not married to each other. However, they have been linked together both personally and professionally, and they each definitely influence the other’s choices and decisions.
Brangelina
Brad doesn’t have an Oscar.
Or does he? His production company Plan B produced “The Departed”, which won for best picture. Would he be considered a producer of that film? I don’t technically think he won, but he kind of did.
I read this as the pair have Oscars and are big shots between them. Angie has an Oscar and Brad has had a lot of connections for years (her power is newer). So I’m inclined to think it’s them, and I think it’s adorable that one didn’t want to go without the other!
He does. He got a Best Supporting Actor one year — I think it was for “Seven”?
But he never won an Oscar, right?
Nope…..Brad has not won an Oscar so not them!
Additionally the last lines of the blind suggest that the subjects of this blind are not romantically linked. My guess is Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson!
Dig^^. Ding^^^ ding^^^^we have the winner!!!
Jodie & Mel sound like a great guess.
Brangelina
Brad and Angelina
I think they’ve been more than linked together. Doesn’t “linked” refer to a loose association of sorts? And I don’t think Brad has an Oscar.
Mel Gibson & Jodie Foster.
ooo I like this guess!
Brilliant. I had NOTHING and this is absolutely perfect! He can’t contain himself when he’s drunk and she had the odd “coming out/honey boo boo speech!
Yes. He definitely wouldn’t behave.
Co-sign.
Her awkward moment in the spotlight: coming out acceptance speech at the Globes.
He obviously needs to behave when he parties, ’nuff said.
Yes.
1) “he would have to behave himself and watch what he said and to whom he said it” is Mel Gibson saying misogynistic things to women, racist things to people who aren’t his race & religion. And he likes to party aka drink.
2) “She is a little gun shy about talking to people right now.” is Jodie Foster — anti gun stance
“She had an odd moment in the spotlight in the past year” … “odd moment” Double entendre. Odd is synonymous with “queer” and “queer” is how homosexuals refer to themselves. Jodie Foster’s odd aka queer moment in the spotlight was just that .. her coming out speech.
Sounds a bit far fetched but you could be right
Mysterious,
, really? idk any gays who refer to themselves as queer anymore , not since the 70s.
Whoa, you wrote it like he says that always when he is over and that s not true, he is unfortunately an alcoholic who gets mean when drunk-this s a disease
^^^^what longstreet said^^^^^
Yes! Agree!
That is a great guess!
Yes, this!
Yeah, this is a good guess!
this, totally
Oh right, forgot about the Jodie Foster speech and Mel’s drinking antics are forever caught on tape! I had guessed Brad/Angie but wasn’t sure. THIS pairing makes sense. So many good commenters on this site!
briliant guess!
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster?
Angie and Brad
Leo and Kate
He’s never won an oscar
Brangelina?
Scarlett Johanssen and Sean Penn
Nevermind, Scarlett has never won anything.
Gotta be Brad and Angie!
Julia Roberts and? I was going to say Brad Pitt, but he has only been nominated but not won an Oscar.
Brad Pitt and Anjelina Jolie (moment being the “leg’ incident).
Changing my answer to what “fifty” posted: Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie. It fits the Blind description.
Definitely Angelina. And I think BBT.
We’re Mel and Jodie there?
Brad and Angie (odd moment last year = that weird leg thing)
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster
Brangelina!!!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie!
Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio?
This is who I thought of. Lainny has mentioned Leo’s partying recently on twitter and Kate is now Mrs RocknRoll. Who would want people asking you about that. Also they are known to be close friends.
Mel and Jodie
Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson.
She had her scrutiny over her sexuality and retirement speech aired on the Golden Globes and he is a known drinker/party guy.
Funny that someone who has gotten a rep for being a mysogynist is so well liked by Jodie. Probably speaks volumes to the fact that he CAN be a nice guy.
Anyone can be nice in front of their friends/co-workers and when they know the cameras are on them. People’s true characters are revealed through how they act when they think no one (or at least, no one who “matters”) is watching.
but isn’t that my pt? they do have a strong bond in spite of his public slurs. he has been a good friend to her and she has in turn been supportive.
I think it is the inverse
Aren’t there rumors that Mel is the sperm donor for Jodie’s children? That would explain their odd connection.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Huh. I want to say Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, because they’re besties and “If you’re not going, then I’m not going!” is like “You just, I jump” from Titanic and neither were at the Oscars last night (even though he was in Django Unchained, one of the best picture nominees). But while she’s won an Oscar, he hasn’t. And I can’t think of any weird moment in the spotlight she’s had recently. So what I’m trying to say is, I have no idea.
marrying Ned Rock ‘n’ Roll is pretty weird! Plus there was that fire at Richard Branson’s house; she was in the media for that. I realize both of those are stretches.
could the female be angelina jolie, with the odd moment being her body photo-bombing the pictures of her leg ?
WERE LEO AND KATE THERE
IF NOT
LEO AND KATE
wait never mind, leo has never won. so ‘former oscar winner’ doesn’t rly work for him.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet? I don’t recall seeing either of them.
Brad and Angelina?
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. She had an odd moment last year with the ‘leg’
Thought at first this was Brad and Angie but he has never won an Oscar, though nominated. So…back to square one.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie?
I know the last clue sort of indicates they’re not a couple, but it could still work. They’re not married and are linked together personally and professionally.
Mel Gibson & Jodie Foster?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? A quick search and they haven’t come up in any pics, except last year’s.
Mel & Jodie. That took me a while!
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster….
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster? I have no idea if these two attended but the clues fit….
Pitt and Jolie.
Brad likes to party, and Jolie took flack for her emaciated legs last year.
Billy Bob and Angelina
Easy peazy, Brangelina..the whole crazy leg pose thing from last year probably made her a little gun shy, but shyness never been an adjective associated with Angie.
Mel Gibson and Jody Foster?
Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson
Kate and Leo?
Somehow this makes me think of
Somehow this makes me think of Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster, but her announcement was earlier this year. I think I’m off thought.
Brad and Angie is all I can think of
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Leftover leg shame!
Lol-leftover leg shame —hilarious!
I’m sure everyone will guess Angie and Brad so OK me too.
BUT if her odd moment in the spotlight was the leg incident from last Oscars then it wouldn’t have been within the last year as noted in the BI. If its Angie did she have another odd spotlight/ public moment…rumours yes, but actual caught on camera moment? Plus could they have bailed because of Aniston and or wanting to play out the did(nt) they marriage plus pregnancy questions? Better to hold off until they are not sharing the spotlight.
Also did Jennifer confirm before or after Brad was confirmed a no show? Oh, the PR games!
Hmmmmm…..
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster
Julia Roberts and…..
Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt? Together in The Mexican and all the Ocean’s movies….
Brange?
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster? She certainly had a weird moment with her speech.
Mr and mrs smith?
Crap. Changed my mind.
Tom Hanks
Julia Roberts
For some reason I’m thinking Gibson and Jodie Foster. The “odd moment” for her was her quasi coming out speech; maybe she didn’t want to talk about it anymore. And Gibson probably hates hang to behave anywhere, anytime.
Meant to type MEL Gibson, and that he hates “having” to behave, not “hang” lol. Crazy iPad!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. She had that weird leg stick out thing last awards season.
Brad and Angelina AKA Brangelina
WAIT! Mel and Jodi!!
Brangelina and the Leg!
lol The Leg
That’s it!!! Mel Gibson & Jodi Foster FTW.
Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie?
He: Leo DiCaprio?
She: Demi Moore?
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Brad and Angelina? Can’t see him partying a lot tho
brangalina
Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio
Angelina and Brad? She has been conspicuously absent since last year’s Oscars. She showed up not long ago at some benefit or awards, but other than that, she has been MIA.
My guess is Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster
Obviously Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster.
Leonardo DiCaprio & Kate Winslet?
Both are Oscar winners, have worked together a few times, and are close friends. Leo of course loves to party. And Kate’s new husband (Ned RocknRoll) has nude Facebook pics they’re suing to keep out of the tabloids…
ps: Hi Ace! First time poster, longtime fan!
Hi Fors! Love, Ace
d’oh! Leo has no Oscar… on second look “big shots” and “gun shy” are likely clues.
Leo was nominated three times, but never won an Oscar.
Brangelina
Angelina and Brad
Angelina’s leg being her odd moment in the spotlight in the past year . . . and “gun shy” being a hint because of all of her action films (Tomb Raider, Salt, Wanted, etc.).
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt!
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster.
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster
Brad and Angelina? (Although Brad doesn’t have an Oscar.)
Actor: Mel Gibson. He’s definitely somebody that likes to party without restrictions…
Actress: Jodie Foster. Her “odd moment in the spotlight” came during her speech at the Golden Globes.
They’re very good friends and they were both involved in Maverick and The Beaver.
Caveat: I have no idea why Mel Gibson would have been invited to the Oscars (or any pre- or post-Oscar parties, for that matter).
Why not? He has one of the top 3 highest grossing movies in all history. And a very successful production company and is a hundreds of miliions multi-millionaire, more wealthy than most in that theatre. They all want his money invested in their show/career.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Mel Gibson & Jodie Foster ?
After much thought-going to guess Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster. Mel tends to get into trouble and Jodie had that comment at another awards show.
brad pitt & angelina jolie!
The Jolie-Pitts. I would say that the odd moment in the spotlight would be leg-gate!
Brad and Angie? If so, what was the “odd moment in the spotlight in the past year”?
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster
Well at first, I thought Brad and Angie, but she’s the only Oscar winner. I think it must be Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster.
Jodie Foster & Mel Gibson
Actor: Mel Gibson (“he would have to behave himself and watch what he said”)
Actress: Jodi Foster (“she had an odd moment in the spotlight this past year” — did she “out” herself when being honored recently?)
This is just a shot in the dark, but I’m going to guess Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster.
For a guess, Mel Gibson and Jody Foster???
Angelina and someone else?
First time poster, long time lurker. My guess is Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson.
Welcome, Lizy! Love, Ace
mel gibson and jodie foster
BFF’s Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster.
Mel Gibson & Jody Foster
Brad & Angie? I didn’t see them there.
Mel and Jodie
I say Leo and Kate.
He never stops partying and her husband seems to get bad press.
Leo seriously needs an Oscar soon though!
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster
Hi ace first time poster.
I just had to respond to this.
It looked like Brad and Angie at first, but Brad has no Oscar.
Going with
Jon Voight. Oscar. Runs his mouth: anti-Obama, anti-Democrat, bordering on far right Republican
Angelina Jolie. Leg incident.
Father and daughter relationship personal. Of course both actors so professional relationship. Movies The Champ and Lara Croft.
Jon not a partier anymore apparently, also, his being a rep or on the right does not equate to running off at the mouth.
Either Leo DiCaprio/Kate Winslet or Mel Gibson/Jodie Foster. I don’t see Brad as wanting to “watch what he says” and “party without restrictions” as he’s not known for being out of control. Mel Gibson, however, is. Jodie Foster had that really awkward time at the Golden Globes where she rambled on about her sexuality for 5+ mins.
Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson!
Mel and Jodie. Jodie doesn’t want to be asked questions about her speech at the Globes, and Mel would have to stay sober at all the parties so he could keep all his racist and misogynistic thoughts to himself.
Hey it is a disease called alcoholism. He is not a racist or hate women.qqqqqqqqqq
Oops for typos
I hear Goodman was spotted in NYC at a shoot Sunday morning, so it isn’t him, even though he was in a couple movies nominated and/or winning.
Oh wait, he probably won’t even get the “Lifetime Achievement Oscar” despite outperforming several of his competition over the years.
Leo & Brad are not Oscar winners and Jon Voight was there dancing away at the parties wearing his signature white silk scarf.
Maybe the Mel/Jodie is the answer?
If not Jon Voight, then Clint Eastwood.
He is the only other actor Jolie is linked to personally as in friends and professionally as in the Changeling.
He also runs his mouth about politics being a staunch Republican.
Runs his mouth-you make it sound derogatory. Do you say the same about Affleck, penn, clooney, Weinstein, Streisand, Jolie, Pitt, Jackson, balafon the, Springsteen, Bon jovi, etc??
I agree with the Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster guesses
Mel and Jodie…definitely!
Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow. Couldn’t find any Getty Images of them at Oscar functions.
Considering several past movie collaborations with Ben Affleck, Matt was a glaring absence not supporting his Boston buddy Ben Affleck, though Matt can have quite the potty-mouth when he’s on a rant.
Matt and Gwyneth had an acting collaboration in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Don’t know the closeness of Matt and Gwyneth’s personal relationship other than through Ben Affleck. Gwyneth dated Ben for awhile and professionally both starred in Bounce and Shakespeare in Love. Gwyneth is gun shy as evidenced by her association with the PSA gun control video following the Newton CT shootings. Regarding an embarrassing or odd moment for Gwennie, it’s hard to pick just one, but if I must, then I choose the N*****s in Paris tweet.
Are Brad and AJ even together any more?
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster. Mel could get drunk and shoot off his mouth at home and not commit any more harm to his career. Jodie received mixed reviews in her stream of consciousness speach at the other award show. They are best friends and she credits Mel for saving her life, she has saved his career by hiring him for The Beaver.
Jodie foster & Mel Gibson. I first thought Brad & Angie but Angelina isn’t shy about anything!
Oh get a grip nolabelle.
Whether you like it or not politics is one of the most polarizing topics out there. Like abortion. Like gun control. Shoot even race/racism can cause people to take sides quickly.
And yes Clint Eastwood does Run His Mouth. Get over yourself.
First time poster. I had to register to say, “What’s up with people guessing Brad and Angelina?” Brad hasn’t won an Oscar. Brad and Angelina are romantically linked, and perhaps even secretly married. Plus, why on earth would Angelina avoid the Oscars because of showing off her leg at last year’s Oscars. Please! That makes no sense.
This is so obviously Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster.
Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson. Both have Oscars and Jodie directed and starred with Mel in The Beaver. Mel was also with Jodie at the Golden Globe awards. Jodie is well known to be loyal to her friends so I can diffenately see her not attending the Oscars if Mel doesn’t attend.
I totally agree with the Jodie Foster/Mel Gibson.. seems like something they would decide together and they are both Oscar winners, with a profession and personal history.
[...] No prizes for guessing who this is! Love it! [Blind Gossip] [...]
