Keira's Nicholson snub

(BANG) - Keira Knightley was embarrassed that Jack Nicholson didn't try to seduce her.

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actress revealed she was really star-struck meeting the 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' actor but felt rejected when he didn't make a move on her.

She told In Style magazine: "I was speechless sitting next to Jack Nicholson at the Oscars. I can't remember what he said to me. Everyone asked if he tried to hit on me, but he didn't. It's actually kind of embarrassing that he didn't."

The 21-year-old star also confessed she felt relieved when Reese Witherspoon was announced as best actress on Oscar night.

She added: "My first thought was thank God I don't have to make a speech! We all knew who it was going to be. I just giggled - it was so weird, laughing was the only option.

"My friend wanted me to do an 'I've been robbed!' thing and I was so tempted because nobody ever does that. I think it would have been hilarious."
