LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- South African-born Hollywood actress Charlize Theron reportedly plans to watch Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony at home, while wearing her pajamas.

Theron won an Oscar for her portrayal of a serial killer in the 2003 film "Monster."

She revealed her plans for this year's Academy Awards telecast during an appearance at the Dublin International Film Festival, where her Irish actor/director boyfriend Stuart Townsend's new movie "Battle in Seattle" premiered.

"We are not going (to the Oscars.) I don't think you go to those kind of award shows unless you are nominated," People.com said Theron told Britain's Press Association. "I think it's a special thing if you get a nomination, or your film does. Then you go. But we don't have any nominations or anything like that in the house, so we sit in our jammies and watch it on the couch."
