Angelina Jolie recently told press she lost the Best Supporting Actress Oscar trophy she won in 1999 for her role in Girl Interrupted.

 

A source tells OK Magazine, "Angie doesn't care about awards. Sure, it's a great honor to win an Oscar, but Angie thinks herself as more of a humanitarian and mother than an actor."

 

Jolie had reportedly given the Oscar to her mother Bertrand after she won. Later, her mom passed away in January 2007. Jolie recovered it from the Beverly Hills, California hotel her mother lived in, but it has since gone missing, according to OK Magazine.

 

Now Matt Damon also may not know where his Oscar is for Good Will Hunting in 1997. He shared the "Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen" with his best friend and co-writer, Ben Affleck.

 


Damon told the London Daily Express: "I know it ended up at my apartment in New York, but, unfortunately, we had a flood when one of the sprinklers went off when my wife and I were out of town and that was the last I saw of it."

 

He added that he hopes to find the Oscar safe and sound in storage.

 

That same year, Matt Damon was nominated for Best Actor in a leading role, which instead went to Jack Nicholson for his role in As Good as it Gets.
