Tom & Katie Skipping Out on Oscars?

(SPLASH NEWS)

Perhaps it's because Valkyrie was a box-office dud or because Mad Money was an even bigger disappointment, but it looks like this year's Academy Awards ceremony will be TomKat free.

According to a source close to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the Hollywood power couple had been planning on attending the Feb. 22 festivities, despite neither of them getting any love from the Academy.

But then in the last couple days "plans changed," says the source adding that it's all a bit of a mystery as to why, since both Tom and Katie are still planning on being in town for the weekend.

Maybe they need to recharge Katie's batteries after so much traveling?

Maybe someone's ps scars are still too visible....?

Heh, that's probably right. Or Suri doesn't have a new coat to wear.

I'm sure no one will even notice they aren't there. Oh, wait. That's why they're announcing their absence.

Oh god no. Then what's the point? Might as well cancel the whole thing now.

Well damn it, I'm not watching then!

*stomps away like a child*

Maybe they didn't get the expected invite... as isn't the Oscars invite only?

**GaPeach** · February 18th, 2009, 09:49 AM

oh shit this sounds like another one of those "and Tom won't be there" and then he appears at the Oscars to present the your the best in the world award.

I've seen enough of them they can stay home

Oh boy a reason to watch now!

LOL - sounds like it, doesn't it

If either of them were asked to present an award, they'd be there. Sooo...I'm assuming they weren't asked. I don't think Tommy would be content to be there as a mere audience member.
