...John Travolta (Hairspray). Angelina Jolie couldn't attract paying customers to A Mighty Heart, but her allure as a good-deed-doing camera magnet is undiminished. She'll be there as a Best Actress nominee. Brad will have to come as Angelina's guest, however; the Pitt bull was snubbed for Jesse James - not to mention the outrage of ignoring Ocean's Thirteen...
