Angelina on Oscar Night: I'm Rooting for Brad

Actress is backing her partner to win

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt support each other

Angelina Jolie is not hiding her allegiances when it comes to Oscar night.

"I'm rooting for Brad," the actress, 33, says of her Best Actor-nominated partner, Brad Pitt, 45.

Nominated herself as Best Actress for her film Changeling, Jolie tells ABC's Nightline in an interview airing Tuesday that she's not much of a moviegoer – unless Pitt is on the screen.

"No, I just, I don't really like to watch movies," she says, adding, "I love to watch Brad's movies."

Noting that she'll soon start to "step away from acting" to focus on her family, the mother of six says her priorities have clearly shifted over the years.

"I'd say kids first, kids, woman to Brad and then my work internationally and being a kind of ... trying to educate myself and trying to learn about the world and ... trying to do some good things while I'm alive," she tells Nightline.

As for acting, she notes, "so what is that, fourth?"
