Actress-director Angelina Jolie's film “Unbroken” didn't win any trophy at the 87th Academy Awards despite being nominated in three categories, but her father Jon Voight still believes his daughter is an “extraordinary” director with whom he'd love to work someday.
Speaking at Vanity Fair's Oscars party, Voight said: “I think her direction is extraordinary. I had my mouth open. I said, ‘Holy smokes. This is really something.' She's a director that I'd say I want to work with her,” reports eonline.com.
The 76-year-old, who has starred in films like “Coming Home”, “Ali” and “National Treasure”, slammed the Oscars for snubbing Jolie's name from the Best Director nominations list.
“I think the nominations were mostly right. They don't get everybody. I'd like to have seen my daughter's film get a few more nominations. But we were very well represented. I think Hollywood did very well with the films this year especially towards the last couple of months,” he added.
"Unbroken" was nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing at the Oscars, which took place Sunday.
