Everyone is wondering why Hollywood’s A-listed couple namely Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt didn’t show up at the event of the year – the Oscars.

Sources told E News that Angelina is busy filming “The Tourist” and couldn’t make time for the Academy awards. But E Online points out that Hollywood actors can take a break from shooting in order to attend a big event. Like Jake Gyllenhaal headed back to Canada immediately after the show to resume filming his latest flick. And moreover Brangelina have the luxury of private jet which travels really fast.

Several news portals claim that the couple chose to take their kids to a birthday party in Venice on the awards days. The couple has bunked the Oscars for the third time in a row. Reports claim that since neither of them received an individual nomination they decided to give it a miss even though Pitt’s “Inglorious Basterds” was up for the Best Picture. They didn’t turn up in 2008 when neither Joliet nor Pitt get any nomination and also in 2007 when Pitt’s Babel was nominated for Best Picture.
