Angelina Jolieisn’t a fan of displaying awards – unless they’re from her kids.

“I never put awards out. I think honestly I never wanted it to be a focus in my house. I think I have one – a broken little statue that my kids made when I didn’t win something once," Jolie told the outlet. “That’s the one I have up.”

Jolie, who won the Academy Award in 2000 forGirl, Interrupted, as well as three Golden Globe Awards and a Tony Award, is mom to six kids — Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — with ex Brad Pitt.
