Angelina Jolie is reportedly devastated over being snubbed by the Oscars for her portrayal of Maria Callas in the biopic Maria, according to industry insiders. Despite dedicating months to mastering the opera singer’s role, including learning to sing, Jolie’s performance garnered a Golden Globe nomination but was passed over by both the SAG Awards and the Academy.
Angelina Jolie portrays the renowned opera singer Maria Callas in the biopic “Maria,” which focuses on the final seven days of Callas’ life in Paris in 1977. The film explores her reflections on her illustrious career, her struggles with vocal decline, and her complex relationships.
“Angelina will be devastated … look at all the press she did for the film — she wanted to get nominated,” a source close to the annual event told PageSix. “She did Jimmy Fallon, her first late-night show in over a decade. She even went to the Gotham Awards. She did all these magazine covers.” “Maria” grapples with themes of identity, legacy, and the enduring power of art. It shows how Callas, despite her fame and talent, grappled with personal demons and the pressures of her public image.
After taking a break from acting, Jolie made her comeback in the biopic, but the Oscars didn’t roll out the red carpet. According to a Hollywood awards expert, the snub “wasn’t great for Angelina — or Netflix.” And while some speculate that it’s all tied to her very public split from Brad Pitt, a movie insider claims Hollywood’s still got a soft spot for Brad.
“This just shows that Hollywood is Team Brad,” the insider said. “The Globes showed that the foreign press loves her, but that’s not Hollywood. Nobody was going to go against Brad and give Angelina a vote … people just love Brad.”
After eight years of legal battles, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt finally put their divorce to rest in December. Although, Jolie’s performance was generally praised in the new film, according to an insider, the Oscars snub may have more to do with Hollywood politics than just the performance itself. As the industry welcomes new faces with first-time nominees, there’s a sense that Jolie’s journey could be weighed down by past headlines.

Angelina Jolie shares heartbreaking update after Brad Pitt divorce settlement
Angelina Jolie took to Instagram Stories on Wednesday to share a deeply emotional message following the end of her eight-year-long divorce battle with Brad Pitt. The Oscar-winning actress, known for her humanitarian work, used the platform to highlight the plight of millions of Syrians in need of aid, shifting the attention away from her personal life.
In a heartfelt Instagram Story post, the Maria actress shared an image from nrc_norway featuring a war-ravaged country along with a poignant message aimed at raising awareness for Syria’s ongoing crisis.
“Syria: over 17 million people in need of aid. Syria has been decimated by almost 14 years of conflict, displacement, and economic deterioration,” she wrote. “While the recent change in government brings about a chance of a fresh start, millions still need help, and critical needs continue to be unmet.”
Jolie has long been recognised for her tireless humanitarian work, with a focus on “conservation, education, and women’s rights.” As a Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, she has dedicated much of her time to advocating for refugees around the world.
In a recent post, Jolie captured the efforts of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), an organisation she strongly supports, which works to champion the rights of displaced people globally. She previously collaborated with the NRC in regions like Jordan and Yemen as a leading global advocate for refugees.
The actress broke her social media silence days after her ‘ugly’ legal feud with her ex-husband Brad Pitt came to an end. Her lawyer James Simone told PEOPLE, “More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family.” -
Angelina Jolie again ‘losing one of her’ children as her battle with Brad Pitt continues
Angelina Jolie is “quickly losing her kids one by one” as her 18-year-old daughter, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie, prepares to leave home and pursue dance.
RadarOnline cited that the actress finds it difficult to cope with the prospect of her most “private” children moving out, as her ongoing legal disputes with ex-husband Brad Pitt over a French winery continue to add stress to her life.
“It’s all happening so quickly,” a source close to the family told Radar Online. “One by one, her kids are moving out, and no matter how natural it is in the cycle of life, it’s just very hard for Angelina to come to terms with.”
Shiloh intends to live with friends while pursuing her passion for dance. “It’s especially nerve-racking for Ange to send Shiloh into the world because she wants to pursue dance, and it’s not a traditional career path. She wants to live with friends while she studies dance, which means she won’t be on a university campus with all the protections that come with living in a dorm,” they explained.
“She’s proud of Shiloh and would never hold her back from her dreams,” the source continued. “Still, it won’t be easy for her to let go.”
Having moved out at just 16, the Maleficent star “sees a lot of herself in Shiloh, who can be quite a free spirit, so the idea of her being out on her own in the world is pretty terrifying. She just can’t help but worry about what sort of trouble she could get into,” the insider shared.
Shiloh has also legally dropped her father’s last name, ‘Pitt’ earlier this year. This decision reportedly left Pitt feeling deeply hurt. “They used to have a good relationship, but that’s in the past, and it breaks his heart,” a source told Page Six earlier. “Brad feels like Angelina has turned his kids against him. He feels like Angelina knows exactly what she’s doing.”
Jolie and Pitt, who officially divorced in 2019, share six children: Maddox, 23; Pax, 21; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16. -
Brad Pitt claims Angelina ‘withheld hundreds of emails’ to suppress truth $500 million winery sale
The legal battle between exes Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is getting murkier. A new report sources court documents to show that Brad has now accused Angelina of lying and withholding critical information about the controversial sale of their $500 million French winery.
Documents accessed by In Touch Weekly show that Brad’s legal team has accused Angelina of withholding ‘hundreds of emails’ to suppress the truth. “In a last-ditch attempt to suppress the truth about her wrongful sale to the Stoli Parties, [Angelina] has withheld hundreds of emails she exchanged with her inner circle in the period leading up to the sale on claims of attorney-client privilege. But 126 of those emails are entirely between non-lawyers. These 126 communications should be ordered produced,” reads the submission from Brad in the case.
The couple purchased the French winery in question – Chateau Miraval -jointly. However, Brad claims that it was sold to a third party without his knowledge and consent right after their divorce in 2016. The couple has been battling this in court for years now.
In the documents, Brad’s legal team claims that Angelina did produce some documents after ‘stonewalling for more than a year’ but calls it ‘illusory’, as she has ‘produced only one internal communication discussing or reflecting the sale’.
The legal team says, “[Angelina] claims that all of her team’s other internal communications on this subject are protected by the attorney/client privilege. This includes hundreds of emails to or from non-attorneys, such as her business manager Terry Bird, her image consultants Chloe Dalton and Arminka Helic, her wine consultant Christophe Salin, her finance consultants Marjorie Brabet-Friel and James Friel, and her personal assistants Michael Vieira and Mindy Nyby. 126 of these communications do not even involve any attorney participant. [Angelina’s] wildly overbroad assertion of privilege over these 126 communications is unsupported by the law, and it cannot justify her near-complete cover-up of this critically important discovery.”
After Brad and Angelina split in 2016, she emailed him that she wanted to get out of the winery business. Brad said his team negotiated a deal to buy her stake, offering to pay her $54.4 million over six years. However, he claims she dropped out of negotiations with him and sold her stake to Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler, pocketing $64 million from the deal. Brad has urged the court to nullify the deal.

Angelina Jolie reveals all her six kids are with her ex-husband Brad Pitt
Angelina Jolie, known for her roles in films like Maleficent and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, recently opened up about her most cherished role—being a mother. In an interview with Good Morning America, Jolie, 49, shared how motherhood is the greatest joy of her life, far surpassing her career in the entertainment industry. When asked if there was anything in her life that compares to the passion Maria Callas had for singing, she responded, “Motherhood. It’s my happiness. You can take everything else away from me. Nothing else matters.”
Jolie has six children with her ex-husband Brad Pitt: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. While the world has watched her children grow up in the spotlight, Jolie emphasized their desire for privacy. “None of them want to be in front of the camera,” she said, referring to her children’s reluctance to participate in the public eye after their early exposure due to their famous parents’ high-profile relationship.
Jolie also noted how her children, particularly her daughter Shiloh, are “quite private.” She explained that Shiloh is “extremely private,” adding that the children “weren’t born with privacy,” a reference to the intense media attention they received from a young age. “So I hope they can have that as they get older,” Jolie said, underscoring her hopes for her children to lead a more private life in the future.
Despite their preference for privacy, Jolie has allowed glimpses into her family life on rare occasions. Recently, her children have started to show interest in the entertainment industry, albeit in quieter, behind-the-scenes roles. Her two eldest sons, Maddox and Pax, worked with Jolie behind the scenes on her latest film Maria, where she portrays legendary opera singer Maria Callas. Jolie called the experience of working with them “amazing.” Furthermore, she collaborated with her youngest daughter, Vivienne, on the Broadway show The Outsiders. While these experiences allow her children to engage in the creative world, they do so away from the intense glare of the public eye.
Jolie’s youngest son, Knox, recently made his first public red carpet appearance in three years at the 2024 Governors Awards, where he accompanied his mother as her plus-one. Despite the long absence from public events, Knox appeared relaxed as he walked the carpet arm-in-arm with Jolie, suggesting that while the children may shy away from the spotlight, they are comfortable in certain settings, especially when with their mother. -
Angelina Jolie wins 1st Tony amid family drama
Angelina Jolie’s expanding horizons as an actor and entrepreneur has culminated in a new milestone, namely with her bagging a Tony win. Not many know that Angelina’s nascent journey in Broadway was actually sparked by her daughter Vivienne. Though the actor was acquainted with the book and film adaptation of The Outsiders, she was yet to experience it on Broadway. Going for a show with Vivienne then, served as a game changer on many counts. Angelina’s Tony victory however, still stands against the looming shadow of her personal life which has eternally been in the spotlight since 2016 owing to her shocking fallout with Brad Pitt.
Hollywood royalty, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt made each other’s acquaintance in the summer of 2004 while filming their spy thriller Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The two eventually came around to admitting that they fell in love right there on the sets — something which to date has been a controversial admittance owing to the fact that Brad was still married to actor Jennifer Aniston at the time. Angelina and Brad eventually tied the knot on August 14, 2014. 2 years and 6 children later, the duo announced their decision to divorce in September 2016.
While Angelina requested for physical custody of their 6 children — Maddox, 21, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17 and twins Knox and Vivienne, 14, Brad gunned for both legal as well as physical guardianship. It was also around this time that Brad was being investigated by the FBI and LAPD for reportedly lashing out at the family on a flight ride, accusations he was eventually cleared of. Within the year, the two end up agreeing on a temporary custody arrangement. -
Brad Pitt secures another victory against ex-wife Angelina Jolie
Brad Pitt is clearly at an advantage in ‘War of the Rosés.’ The latest court ruling is favoring Pitt, who has been handed up-to-the minute victory in the battle to control the French vineyard he owned with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. This marks his second consecutive win after the previous one in February. This big win implies that the Bullet Train star’s legal team has all the rights to take the lawsuit to court, in which the A-lister is suing Jolie. According to Mail, Jolie’s legal team had been trying to reverse a court decision in LA that agreed with her ex-husband’s claim. The big claim made by Pitt, where he mentioned Jolie selling her share of their beautiful vineyard to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler without his consent in 2021, has been the center of dispute between the Hollywood heavyweights since their divorce. However, the court has now dismissed claims that his lawsuit was “frivolous, malicious, and part of a problematic pattern,” marking another win for the Fight Club star.

Angelina Jolie filed anonymous lawsuit against Brad Pitt
Actor Angelina Jolie has been identified as the plaintiff in an anonymous 2016 lawsuit where she had alleged being assaulted on a private plane by her then-husband, Brad Pitt. The couple filed for divorce in 2016 and had six children together. According to a report several years ago Angelina told an FBI agent that Brad Pitt ‘physically and verbally assaulted’ her and their children when they were aboard the plane. An FBI agent’s notes reveal that at the time, Brad allegedly took Angelina to the back of the plane, grabbed her shoulders and shouted things like, “You’re f***** up this family.” Angelina had alleged that another physical altercation occurred on that same flight. It caused her to sustain injuries, including on her elbow. Angelina also said that Brad had poured beer on her as he had been drinking at the time. However, Brad’s team has denied all allegations, as per reports.
After a special agent met with the assistant US attorney and concluded that they would not pursue criminal charges, Angelina, in order to obtain documents related to the federal investigation against Brad, anonymously filed a Freedom of Information Act suit against the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), reported Variety.
Previously, Brad was reportedly under investigation in 2016 for child abuse by both the FBI and the Los Angeles Department of Child and Family Services after an incident occurred on his family’s private plane. Allegedly, he got physical with their son, Maddox, after the then 15-year-old intervened in a fight between Brad and Angelina.
At the time, Brad’s team issued a statement to People magazine, denying that he hurt his son. The statement read, “He is emphatic that it did not reach the level of physical abuse, that no one was physically harmed. He did not hit his child in the face in any way. He did not do that; he is emphatic about that. He put his hands on him, yes, because the confrontation was spiralling out of control.” As per Variety, following this incident the Hollywood couple split and Brad publicly gave up drinking. No charges have been filed against him.

Angelina Jolie has opened up about her life post her divorce from actor Brad Pitt. The actor, who filed for divorce in 2016, revealed that the changes in her personal life have impacted her career.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Angelina said that the shift in priorities has led to her picking less time-consuming jobs. “I love directing, but I had a change in my family situation that’s not made it possible for me to direct for a few years. I needed to just do shorter jobs and be home more, so I kind of went back to doing a few acting jobs. That’s really the truth of it,” she told Entertainment Weekly. After her filing for divorce, Angelina has appeared in a handful of movies. Her last outings include Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Come Away. She will soon appear in Those Who Wish Me Dead.
