Theron: 'I'll watch Oscars in pyjamas'

Charlize Theron has claimed that she will watch this year's Oscars in her pyjamas.

The actress, who won an Academy Award for her role in Monster in 2003, said she didn't think it was appropriate for stars who weren't nominated to attend the ceremony.

She revealed that instead she would watch the event on TV with her film director husband Stuart Townsend.

Speaking at the Dublin International Film Festival, she said: "We are not going. I don't think you go to those kind of award shows unless you are nominated.

"I think it's a special thing if you get a nomination, or your film does. Then you go.

"But we don't have any nominations or anything like that in the house, so we sit in our jammies and watch it on the couch."
