Charlize's Comfy Oscar Gear

Charlize Theron is going to wear her PJs to the Oscars this year – but she won’t be on the red carpet.

The actress – who won best actress in 2004 Oscars for her performance in Monster – has told journalists at the Dublin International Film Festival: "We are not going to the awards this year."

"I don't think you go to those kind of award shows unless you are nominated."

she added: "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."
