Natalie Portman and James Franco get Oscar-ready on their own covers of Entertainment Weekly.
Portman's expecting to get an acting nomination for her role in Black Swan, while Franco is set to host the show and be nominated for 127 Hours.
“There were some nights that I thought I literally was going to die,” Portman says of her Black Swan role. “It was the first time I understood how you could get so wrapped up in a role that it could sort of take you down.”
Portman has had quite the holiday season -- the 29-year-old actress just announced that she's pregnant and engaged to marry Black Swan choreographer Benjamin Millepied.
An Oscar nod come January 25 will be yet another delightful milestone for her!
In the meantime, these Entertainment Weekly covers are pretty cute.
