Angelina Jolie is said to be deeply upset after being overlooked by the Oscars for her role as Maria Callas in the biopic "Maria," as per sources within the industry. After investing several months in perfecting the character, which included vocal training, Jolie received a nomination for a Golden Globe; however, she was not recognized by either the SAG Awards or the Academy.

Angelina Jolie's Maria ‘snubbed’ by Oscars

Angelina Jolie takes on the role of the celebrated opera singer Maria Callas in the biographical film "Maria," which centers on the last seven days of Callas' life in Paris during 1977. The narrative delves into her reflections on a distinguished career, her battles with vocal deterioration, and her intricate personal relationships.

A source close to the annual awards event informed PageSix, “Angelina will be devastated … consider all the promotional efforts she made for the film — she was eager for a nomination.” The source noted her appearances on Jimmy Fallon, marking her return to late-night television after more than ten years, as well as her attendance at the Gotham Awards and various magazine cover features.

"Maria" addresses themes of identity, legacy, and the lasting influence of art. It illustrates how Callas, despite her immense fame and exceptional talent, contended with personal struggles and the weight of her public persona.

Is Hollywood team Brad Pitt?

Following a hiatus from acting, Jolie returned to the screen in a biographical film; however, the Oscars did not extend a warm welcome. A Hollywood awards expert noted that the oversight was detrimental not only to Angelina but also to Netflix. While some attribute this to her highly publicized separation from Brad Pitt, a source within the industry suggests that Hollywood continues to favor Pitt.

"This indicates that Hollywood is aligned with Brad," the insider remarked. "The Golden Globes demonstrated that the foreign press appreciates her, but that sentiment does not reflect Hollywood's stance. No one was willing to oppose Brad and cast a vote for Angelina... people simply have a fondness for Brad."

After enduring eight years of legal disputes, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt finally concluded their divorce in December. Despite Jolie receiving acclaim for her role in the recent film, an insider indicated that the Oscars snub may be more influenced by the politics of Hollywood than by her performance alone. As the industry embraces new talent with first-time nominees, there is a perception that Jolie's past controversies could overshadow her current achievements.

Jolie, a previous Oscar winner and nominee, expressed that her children witnessed her vulnerability during the filming of the emotionally charged biopic about opera icon Maria Callas.
