Zeta-Jones’ Due Date Close to Oscars
LOS ANGELES – Catherine Zeta-Jones hopes to get through Oscar night without a little thing like giving birth getting in her way.
Zeta-Jones, whose second child with husband Michael Douglas is due in April, said she plans to be at the Academy Awards ceremony March 23, where she’s up for best supporting actress for the musical “Chicago.”
“They can roll me in on a stretcher if they have to,” the 33-year-old said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press Tuesday, when nominations for the 75th annual Oscars were announced.
“Chicago” earned a leading 13 nominations, including best picture, director for Rob Marshall, lead actress for Renee Zellweger, supporting actor for John C. Reilly and a second supporting-actress honor for Queen Latifah.
“I just can’t wait,” Zeta-Jones said. “I hope this baby doesn’t come on the same night. That’ll be just my luck to get all dressed up and ready to go, and the pains will start.”
