Julia Roberts Really Wants Javier Bardem To Get An Oscar Nomination

 Julia Roberts Really Wants Javier Bardem To Get An Oscar Nomination

Julia Roberts thinks that her Eat, Pray, Love co-star, Javier Bardem is so deserving of an Oscar nomination for his role in Biutiful that she even hosted a special screening of the movie for a select industry crowd, according to EW.com. Roberts spoke to EW and said of the reason why she thinks that Bardem has been mostly overlooked so far this awards season;

I think the movie hasn’t gotten the exposure. You don’t know where it is. It’s like this hidden little jewel. Especially in this particular season, people don’t hunt for things. They just take what you throw in their face.

Well I think that can be said about most seasons to be honest, it’s normally the movies with the biggest ‘campaign’s’ that tend to be the ones with the most nominations. When asked if she though Bardem will be able to score a best actor nod, she said;

If there’s not hope for talent, then we’re f—ed.

I haven’t seen Biutiful, so I can’t comment on whether he’s deserving or not of a nomination. Have you seen it, what do you think?

Protective Javier Bardem keeps a firm grip on pregnant wife Penelope Cruz as they enjoy lunch in London

She's six months pregnant with her first child, so it's no wonder Javier Bardem is keeping a watchful eye over Penelope Cruz.
The 41-year-old actor maintained a tight grip on his expectant wife as they wandered around the streets of London trying to find the perfect restaurant for a spot of lunch.
But Penelope, 36, didn't look as though she minded her husband being so protective, and held on to his hand firmly on their day out.
