Jon Voight: Kate Winslet Deserved the Oscar

Angelina may have lost the Best Actress award to Kate Winslet Sunday night at the Academy Awards, but if you ask her father Jon Voight, he isn't the least bit surprised.

According to Jon, his daughter Angelina Jolie, who won the Best Supporting Oscar in 1999 for Girl, Interrupted, was even convinced Kate was going to take home the Oscar.

Voight said, "It was Kate's night, as Angie had said actually - she said she thought it was gonna be Kate's night and it's wonderful to see.

"Ange is a pro, she knows what's going on, she's been there before, she's gotten the award before. She's an experienced person and she knows that it can go any way. All of them have to be prepared... (even) Winslet said she was practicing to look dignified if she lost."

Were you surprised Kate took home the Oscar? She's been nominated six times and it was her first win. In case you missed the big show, you can check out the nights winners here.

Kate Winslet said "the fellow nominees -Goddesses in the same category with Meryl Streep" something Aniston desperately wants and never will be LOL

Angelina and Meryl were both NOMINEES. Not some out-of-place sitcom actress on PITY TV rating bait LOL!

It only goes to show Skankalina is nothing but hype. All of that attention and not a single award!!!Even Angie's own father doesn't think his daughters worthy of an award.At least Jenn was able to get on the stage and look down on those two idiots (as it should be).I love Karma!!!!

gevo Exactly, the DOG movie will never be honored no matter how much money it made and the sitcom sidekick.
