Tommy Lee Jones, who is Best Actor for his role in In the Valley of Elah, refuses to get excited about Sunday's Oscars because, he says, awards fail to excite him.

Jones told The Hollywood Reporter, "I don't live in Southern California, and I spend most of my time in places where people are only vaguely aware of the process. "It doesn't weigh on my mind a great much. It doesn't do you any good to worry about these things or even think about them very much; they are gonna go the way they go. If I were to assess my chances of winning, I would say they are quite slim."

In his Oscar-nominated role, Jones portrays a Vietnam vet who hopelessly searches for his Army solidier son after he learns he has disappeared after his unit returns to the States following a tour in Iraq.
