" Javier Bardem has joked that he is looking for extra tickets to the Academy Awards.  The Spanish star has been nominated in the &amp;#039;Best Actor&amp;#039; category at the upcoming ceremony for his role in the Spanish language movie Biutiful.  &amp;quot;I usually bring all my people because it&amp;#039;s the only way they keep being my friends, otherwise they don&amp;#039;t care about me!&amp;quot; he joked during an appearance on ABC&amp;#039;s Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m talking about 17 people which is quite expensive for me... Real friendship is very expensive! I&amp;#039;m trying to sneak them in this year but it will be difficult. I need more tickets. Does somebody have tickets here? I can pay.&amp;quot; As for the benefits of arriving with a large group, he laughed: &amp;quot;I need people that applause when they say my name because I don&amp;#039;t know anybody here in this country! I need people to say, &amp;#039;Yes, this is great!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; The actor, who welcomed a baby son with wife Penelope Cruz earlier this year, previously described his nomination as a &amp;quot;big honour&amp;quot;. He won the &amp;#039;Best Supporting Actor&amp;#039; gong for No Country For Old Men back in 2008. Bardem picked up the &amp;#039;Best Actor&amp;#039; prize for Biutiful at the Spanish Goya Awards in Madrid last weekend, dedicating his trophy to Cruz and their newborn child. Biutiful is playing now. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
