Maggie Gyllenhaal Reveals How She Watched Last Year’s Oscars
Posted by Adam
MAGGIE Gyllenhaal watched last year’s Oscar’s ceremony in bed eating cereal.
The 32-year-old star — who has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Crazy Heart – admitted she was so tired from her work that she shunned attending the prestigious ceremony in favor of relaxing at home.
“I’ve gone to the Academy Awards before. Once I presented the technical awards. And of course I was there when my brother was nominated,” she said.
“Last year I was doing the play ‘Uncle Vanya’ and I made a huge bowl of cereal and sat up in bed, still with my period corset on, watching.”
Since being nominated for the 2010 ceremony — which takes place at Los Angeles Kodak Theatre on Sunday — Maggie admitted she’s secretly very excited, but is trying not to show it.
“This time I’m really even more into it,” she said. “I’m thinking, well, maybe, these things really do mean something.
“But I did let go of the attachment because this time I seemed not to be getting any of the pre-Oscar nominations. I know I do want to go to the parties. I’m working with a couple of designers, and I’m still looking at dresses.”
