Jon Voight has taken a dig at the Academy Awards saying that his daughter's Angelina Jolie movie 'Unbroken' should have got more nominations.

The 'Coming Home' star said during Oscar's after- party that the nominations were mostly right as the Academy doesn't get everybody but he would like to have seen his daughter's film to get a few more nominations, E! Online reported.

The 76-year-old actor, who wanted Jolie's film to be nominated in the Best Director category, said that he wish Jolie had been nominated, because she deserved it and she is a great actor's director.

Voight added that the awards were very well represented and Hollywood did very well with the films this year especially towards the last couple of months.

'Unbroken' was nominated for an impressive three awards including Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing.
