Shocked by Being Left Out of the Oscar Nominations
Angelina Jolie is reportedly furious after being overlooked by the Oscars, despite receiving widespread critical acclaim for her portrayal of Maria Callas. According to RadarOnline.com, the actress believes that the main reason behind this snub is none other than her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, with whom she has had a long and bitter dispute.
A close source revealed that Jolie had high expectations for this role, as it was seen as one of the defining performances of her career. “There was a lot of buzz about her role as Maria being a career-defining moment, and she fully expected to win an Oscar,” the source said. “The fact that she wasn’t even nominated is unbelievable to her.”
Jolie feels betrayed by the very industry she has dedicated years to. Having previously won numerous prestigious awards, she now believes that someone has deliberately manipulated the outcome to exclude her from recognition.
Brad Pitt Accused of Turning Hollywood Against Jolie
Jolie, 49, is convinced that Brad Pitt used his influence to turn the entire film industry against her. Since their divorce, Pitt has maintained strong relationships with powerful Hollywood figures, while Jolie has found herself increasingly isolated.
A source explained, “She believed this role would bring her back to the top of Hollywood, but now she’s sure that being completely shut out was Brad’s doing.” According to Jolie, Pitt may have not only leveraged his personal influence but also swayed voting bodies to ensure she was left out.
Although Jolie hasn’t provided concrete evidence, many believe that Hollywood continues to favor Pitt following their high-profile divorce. He remains one of the industry’s most beloved actors, whereas Jolie has been at the center of controversies, especially regarding their legal battles over custody and assets.
An Eight-Year Divorce Battle That Didn’t End Peacefully
Jolie and Pitt’s relationship turned sour in 2016 when their marriage fell apart. This led to a prolonged legal battle that lasted eight years, finally concluding at the end of last December.
“Angie believes Brad deliberately tarnished her image throughout the divorce process, and as a result, both the public and the film industry gradually distanced themselves from her,” the source said.
Did Jennifer Aniston Play a Role?
In addition to Brad Pitt, Jolie suspects that Jennifer Aniston—his ex-wife—also played a part in her downfall. Aniston, who was once viewed as the “victim” in their love triangle, still maintains strong ties with influential Hollywood figures.
A source disclosed, “It’s been 20 years since Angelina took Brad from Jen, but she still hasn’t forgiven her. And there are plenty of powerful people in the industry who are on her side.” Some of Aniston’s allies in the industry may have subtly worked against Jolie, influencing decisions that affected her career.
Furthermore, Jolie believes Aniston never truly forgave her for her involvement in the infamous love triangle. “Angelina is convinced that Jen and her Hollywood allies spread negative stories about her, damaging her reputation and potentially even her career,” another source revealed.
Is Jolie Ready to Leave Hollywood?
Despite earning a Golden Globe nomination, Jolie ultimately lost to Fernanda Torres for I’m Still Here. The Oscar snub has only reinforced her growing resentment toward Hollywood and may push her further away from the industry, leading her to focus on humanitarian work—a cause she has been deeply involved in for years.
A source close to Jolie stated, “Angie has been saying for years that she wants to leave Hollywood and all its fake people behind. This might be the final straw. She wants out.” With ongoing industry tensions and her frustration over how she has been treated, Jolie seems to be losing faith in Hollywood.
Jolie is not only an actress but also a dedicated humanitarian. She has actively participated in United Nations relief programs, supported refugee causes, and fought for children’s rights worldwide. If she does choose to leave Hollywood, she may dedicate herself entirely to philanthropy rather than pursuing her acting career.
However, there has been no official statement from Jolie about stepping away from acting. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how she will respond to this controversy and what her next move will be.
