Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie is happy to be nominated for a best actress Oscar this year. But the "Changeling" star will be okay if she doesn't pick up the trophy.

"I feel, for an actress, if you've ever done that in your career, it's nice," she says in a recent interview. "Many people have had great careers and never won. I think you have to have your head around you to understand what certain things are, as much as they're nice ... it shouldn't make you feel differently about your work."

And the 33-year-old actress supports her longtime partner Brad Pitt, who is nominated for best actor for his role in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", saying, "I'm rooting for Brad." Angelina also says she doesn't like watching her own films. She explains, "I love to watch Brad's movies."

The mother-of-six then reveals she wants to focus on family. "I don't want to wake up one day and say I had my career that expanded so much longer and I did that many more films and miss out on all those other things in life," she says. "I'd say kids first ... [being a] 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."
