LOS ANGELES, Ca., Feb. 3 (TOTI) --

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who are both nominated for Oscars skipped the Oscar Nominees Luncheon in Beverly Hills on Monday. Instead, they continued their journeys abroad. Jolie is promoting her movie Changeling and Brad Pitt is still stumping for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The movie has brought in $116 million in box office so far, still short of the $135 million the company cost to make. If you throw in worldwide sales, the company is finally in the black.

We've been seeing a lot of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt lately, as well as Pitt's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston. Aniston has been seeing John Mayer, but a new report indicates their relationship might be hurting due to commitment issues. Aniston's new movie “He's Just Not That Into You” premieres this month.

Robert Downey Jr also received a nod for an Oscar. He said it's quite ironic.

"The funny thing is, I was playing an Oscar-crazed weirdo whose every motivation was somehow geared toward accolades," Downey said.

Penelope Cruz is also happy she might bring home an Oscar statuette this year.

"I am so happy to be part of a group of people that can work, that can make a living out of this profession that I've loved so much since I was a little girl, that I really don't want to obsess about winning,"  she said. She's nominated for her role in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
