Washington, Feb 28 : Actress Jennifer Aniston, who was very much in the spotlight during the Academy Awards, was caught snickering after her ex-husband Brad Pitt did not win the Best Actor award.

Aniston, Pitt and Angelina Jolie were all smiles when they knew the cameras were trained on them, but there were a few occasions when they let their masks slip.

The former Friends star let her mask slip when Michael Douglas announced Sean Penn as the winner for Best Actor, and as she was seated directly behind the "Milk" star, her an undeniable snicker, at Pitt losing out, could be seen.

But she was not the only one who let her feelings show, as Pitt too was seen as being less than chivalrous, reports Fox News.

When the auditorium erupted into a standing ovation for Best Actress winner Kate Winslet, Jolie, who was also nominated, was quick to stand up, but Pitt stayed seated.

It wasn't until Jolie bent down and seemingly whispered to her man to make a move that he hesitantly rose to his feet. (ANI)
