Jolie was at the Hollywood Film Awards last Friday to give out an award to Derby-born actor Jack O'Connell, who happens to star in Unbroken, a new film directed by Jolie and written by Joel and Ethan Coen.

But at least it wasn't quite as bad as Russell Crowe's accent in 2010's Robin Hood, which was described as somewhere between Yorkshire, East Midlands and, occasionally, Irish.
