Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were more annoyed about the “nostril camera” in their faces at last year’s Oscars than over Jennifer Aniston‘s appearing onstage, comedy writer Bruce Vilanch says.

Vilanch, who helps pen the Oscar script, says he told Brangelina about the camera before Pitt’s ex went onstage and producers panned to a smiling Jolie. Vilanch told us, “I went to Brad and Angelina, who were sitting in the front row, and warned them they had the nostril cam planted on the floor underneath them, looking up. Mostly, they were not delighted about the angle, because nobody looks great from there. They knew there would be reaction shots of them, and they knew Aniston was going to be on. They were more bothered about the nostril cam. Brad asked, ‘Any chance we could kick it and break it?’ ” Vilanch, who was in New York to host the Nightlife Awards, added, “If everybody at the Oscars was worried about some ex appearing onstage, there would be nobody in the audience.”
