Angelina Jolie 'angry' with Brad Pitt, lost valuable 'assets', fans regret 1 thing?

Returning to cinema with her role in the biographical film Maria, Angelina Jolie was highly appreciated by critics and received a nomination at the 2025 Golden Globe in the category of Best Actress in a Drama.

However, the star was recently ignored by the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) awards, not being included in the official nomination for Best Actress. This has created a fierce debate on social media. Many opinions say that the Mr. & Mrs. Smith star will have a hard time "standing" in this year's Oscar race, largely due to her tense relationship with her ex-husband Brad Pitt.

Maria is the film project marking Angelina Jolie's return after three years of absence from the silver screen since appearing in Marvel's superhero movie Eternals (2021).

This is also the final work to close the trilogy of biographical films about famous women by director Pablo Larraín, after Jackie (2016) and Spencer (2021). With this project, Angelina Jolie attracted attention when transforming into the world's greatest opera legend Maria Callas.

The film's plot is quite simple, focusing on the singer's final days in Paris in 1977. During that time, Maria had to face loneliness and fight illness in her apartment with two loyal maids.

Playing Maria Callas, Angelina Jolie spent seven months studying opera to perform her own singing voice in the film without dubbing. She also had to work with many different coaches, practicing her demeanor, posture, breathing techniques... to truly recreate the image and demeanor of Maria Callas on screen. Angelina Jolie's efforts quickly bore fruit. When it debuted at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, Maria received a "shower" of praise from critics and audiences, mainly thanks to the female lead's performance.

The film also received a "Fresh" certificate on Rotten Tomatoes with 75% of the votes from experts. Most of the reviews said that Angelina Jolie had an excellent performance in her career, which made the story more attractive.

However, some opinions say that the makeup is not really effective. Angelina Jolie is still Angelina Jolie with a thin and slender body. She impresses with her acting but her appearance is not like Maria Callas.

In an interview with Hollywood Reporter, the star said she has been absent for quite a while because she wants to spend more time with her children. She will only take on new projects when she feels they are mature enough and more independent.

Angelina Jolie said that being a mother helped her a lot in her career, especially in the process of transforming into Maria Callas. "The more I learned about Maria, the more I felt she deserved sympathy and understanding," the star shared.

With the role of Maria Callas, Angelina Jolie fans hope she will receive many nominations to have more advantages in the 2025 Oscar race.

Unfortunately, the star was nominated for the Golden Globe but did not win, losing to Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres (I'm Still Here). This year's SAG Awards surprised many people when they completely ignored Angelina Jolie. The list of five nominees for Best Actress are: Pamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl), Cynthia Erivo (Wicked), Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez), Mikey Madison (Anora) and Demi Moore (The Substance).

Angelina Jolie's lack of nominations at SAG has somewhat affected her chances at the upcoming Oscar race. Because SAG is often considered one of the important awards to predict Oscar nominations and wins, especially in the acting category.

On the social network Reddit, many viewers frankly said that the point that puts Angelina Jolie at a disadvantage in this year's race is not her opponents, but her ex-husband Brad Pitt.

"He has a lot of connections in Hollywood and is also a two-time Oscar winner," one comment said.

More than four years ago, Brad Pitt won Best Supporting Actor at the 2020 Oscars for his role in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019). Before that, the actor received his first Oscar for his role as producer of 12 Years a Slave (2013). "It's hard to win when the people who voted for you are the same people who supported your ex-husband," another commenter explained.
