安妮斯頓紅地毯上暗戰茱麗

Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston came face-to-face at the Oscars ceremony and the Friends actress won the red carpet style wars.

Fashion experts agreed that Aniston's metallic Valentino gown easily outshone Jolie's dreary black dress.

Aniston was there to co-present the best animation award with Jack Black and as the pair bantered on stage the television cameras panned to Jolie, perhaps hoping to see her glaring at the woman who recently described her as "really uncool". But Jolie laughed away at Aniston's jokes.

Jolie is a past master at not betraying her emotions on awards night - she also smiled gamely at the Golden Globes when Kate Winslet forgot her name and referred to her as "the other one".

The Tomb Raider actress was seated with her partner and Aniston's ex-husband, Brad Pitt. Friends actress Aniston attended the ceremony with her boyfriend, musician John Mayer.

The couples were seated only a few rows apart but didn't speak during the show. They also managed to avoid one another on the red carpet.

Aniston split up with Pitt in 2004 and maintained a dignified silence on the break-up until November last year, when she gave an interview to Vogue magazine in which she criticised Jolie for discussing how she fell in love with Pitt while they filmed Mr and Mrs Smith that same year.

"There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening. I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool," she said.

The Oscars proved to be another night of awards disappointment for Jolie and Pitt. They were each nominated for acting prizes - she for Changeling and he for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - but lost out, just as they did at the Golden Globes, Baftas and every other awards show this season.

在昨天的奧斯卡頒獎典禮上，安吉莉娜•茱麗和珍妮弗•安妮斯頓碰面，曾出演《好友記》的安妮斯頓在紅毯秀上更勝一籌。

時尚專家也認爲，安妮斯頓的華倫天奴金屬絲線禮服明顯勝過茱麗沉悶的黑長裙。

在當天的頒獎典禮上，安妮斯頓與傑克•布萊克一起頒發奧斯卡最佳動畫獎。當兩人在臺上打趣時，場內的攝像機鏡頭立馬對準了茱麗，可能是希望看到她怒視曾評價她“不厚道”的安妮斯頓時的模樣。但茱麗只是笑着看安妮斯頓搞怪。

茱麗在這種場合很善於掩飾自己的情緒，在前不久的金球獎頒獎典禮上，凱特•溫斯萊特忘記了她的名字，並稱呼她爲“另一位”，當時茱麗也是大方地笑了笑。

曾出演《古墓麗影》的茱麗與其男友、即安妮斯頓的前夫布拉德•皮特坐在一起。安妮斯頓則與現任男友、音樂家約翰•邁爾一同出席當天的頒獎儀式。

儘管三人的座位只有幾排之隔，但在整場儀式上他們一直沒說話。在紅毯秀上，他們也是有意避開對方。

安妮斯頓於2004年與皮特分手，直到去年11月接受《Vogue》採訪時纔打破了保持多年的沉默，安妮斯頓在採訪中譏諷茱麗公開談論自己與皮特當年拍攝《史密斯夫婦》時墜入愛河一事。

她說：“當時我並不知道這些事情，後來報紙都登出來了。我覺得把這些細節拿出來說有點不妥。公開這樣的事情是不是想說她每天都迫不及待(要和皮特一起)工作？真是不地道。”

茱麗和皮特在奧斯卡頒獎夜再次失望而歸。儘管兩人分別憑藉影片《換子疑雲》和《本傑明•巴頓奇事》雙雙獲得最佳表演獎提名，但最終都未能獲得大獎。這對情侶在本年度的金球獎、（英國）電影和電視藝術學院獎和其他各個獎項中都沒有收穫。
