Gerard Butler: Surprised He Wasn't Oscar-Nominated

Gerard Butler flies out of NYC and arrives at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Wednesday (March 3).

The 40-year-old Scottish stud, who wore PRPS jeans, thinks he should have been nominated for for an Academy Award this year.

“To be honest, I’m surprised I wasn’t nominated for an Oscar this year,” he told NYMag at the Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Male Awards on Monday. “I mean, did they see Ugly Truth? Did they see Gamer? But I have the honor of presenting at the Oscars, and I had this genius idea that I was going to record it on my DVR, and then just watch it backwards, and then I’m going to feel like I won. Who’s going to know the difference?”

That Gerry is such a jokester! He will be presenting at the Oscars this year, though…
