After Katie Holmes failed to show at the Oscars on Sunday night, everyone was wondering what had kept her away from the Los Angeles event as a successful actress most expected her to attend.

It turns out the actress swopped post-Oscar parties for an early night thousands of miles away on the other side of America in preparation for filming her new movie, The Extra Man.

So Katie didn’t spend the evening dressed up in a glamorous outfit, just a dowdy ensemble to protect her from the New York cold as she quietly strolled around alone.

Katie looked gaunt and was also seen carrying a bag emblazoned with the slogan ‘I Love My Home… Planet Earth’ and a pair of ballet shoes, which she later changed into.

Katie was not the only star to shun last night’s Oscars at the Kodak Theatre, other celebrities which made the choice to stay away from the event was Katie’s husband Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lopez.

Katie Holmes has caused concern recently after losing weight on an extreme diet called Purification Rundown, which is another aspect of her husband Tom’s scientology belief’s, but the detox which she began after her filming on broadway has left the 30-year-old looking painfully thin and exhausted.

She reportedly also missed the recent Armani party in New York during Fashion Week because she was feeling so run down, which is adding to concerns arising about her health.
