Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will officially be crowned king and queen of Hollywood if they both win their Best Actress and Best Actor nominations at this year's Oscars – but Angelina says she won't cry if she doesn't win.
The Changeling star is more concerned about her beau Brad picking up the gong.

'I don't want to wake up one day and say I had my career that expanded so much longer and I did that many more films, and miss out on all those other things in life,' she said.
