When she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, Natalie Portman was so nervous at the Oscars, she actually wet herself.

Portman was shocked when her portrayal of a stripper in Closer was shortlisted for an award. But, she didn't know that she would actually be completely petrified when the nominees were read on the big night."I think I peed myself a little bit. I kept thinking, I don't want to go up. I don't want to have to stand there onstage," she said. "Either you're going to have to talk in front of a gajillion people or you can just sit there."

Portman didn't win the award, losing to Cate Blanchett, but she admits that she was quite relieved when she didn't have to deliver a shaky speech.

"The not winning part was a comfort. Maybe one day I'll get to a point where I'll enjoy hearing my name called."
