Angelina Jolie is reportedly ‘devastated’ over her Oscars snub for her lead role in Maria as insiders claim Hollywood has sided with her ex-husband Brad Pitt.

Despite critical acclaim, it was announced Thursday that Jolie’s portrayal of late opera singer Maria Callas in the Pablo Larraín-directed biopic did not receive a Best Actress nomination at the 2025 ceremony.

Jolie — who became an Oscar-winner 25 years ago —  poured herself into the ‘personal’ role by learning to sing opera and even endured a grueling Hollywood press cycle to promote the Netflix film.

The news comes shortly after she failed to pickup a Screen Actors Guild Awards nomination for the dramatic performance.

While she did earn a Best Actress nod at the recent Golden Globes, the coveted honor ultimately went to acclaimed Brazilian star Fernanda Torres for I’m Still Here.

Being ignored by the Academy could ‘devastate’ Jolie, 49, as she desperately ‘wanted to get nominated,’ according to Page Six.

‘Angelina will be devastated … look at all the press she did for the film — she wanted to get nominated,’ the source dished.

‘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.’

An anonymous Hollywood awards expert told the outlet that the lack of acknowledgement from the Academy ‘wasn’t great for Angelina – or Netflix,’ who produced Maria’ and that the actress will ‘undoubtedly be upset.’

A different insider speculated that Jolie’s snub was related to her bitter divorce from fellow Oscar-winner Brad Pitt, which was finalized last month after an eight-year battle.

They argued that Jolie is highly favored by the foreign press while Brad remains Hollywood’s golden boy.

‘This just shows that Hollywood is Team Brad,’ the source claimed. ‘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.’

Another source pointed out that while social ‘politics’ can come into play at awards season, the Academy decided to nominate a slew of first-timers instead of past winners like Angelina and Nicole Kidman, whose performance in the erotic thriller Babygirl was also ignored.

‘The divorce is done, and yes, politics do come into play a little alongside the films and the performances. But the fact is that there are a lot of first-time nominees shows that we still have a healthy industry,’ the source told the outlet Thursday.

Despite critical acclaim, it was announced Thursday that Jolie’s portrayal of late opera singer Maria Callas in the Pablo Larraín-directed biopic did not receive a Best Actress nomination at the 2025 ceremony

Instead of Angelina and Nicole, Demi Moore (The Substance), Cynthia Erivo, (Wicked), Mikey Madison (Anora), Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez) and Fernanda Torres (I’m Still Here) will battle it out in the Best Actress category at the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday, March 2.

Maria marked Jolie’s long-awaited return to the big screen after a years-long hiatus spent honing her directorial skills and spending time with her six children.

The film, which had a limited theatrical release before premiering on Netflix in December, follows ‘Maria Callas (Jolie), who lives the last days of her life in 1970s Paris, as she confronts her idenтιтy and life,’ as per IMDb.

Earlier this month, Jolie told Times Radio that playing the late opera singer forced her to look inside herself.

‘I think you’re an artist, and you go through different things in life, and you wonder if certain parts of you have shut down, or who you are, what you have inside of you, and if your lights dimmed, and if you have less to contribute, or if you don’t know your yourself, and so to push and rediscover things and try for things that I hadn’t ever tried,’ the Oscar-winning star explained.

‘And what a gift as an artist, to be pushed again at this time in my life, to do something that terrified me and I wasn’t sure I could do is the greatest gift.’ 

While at the Golden Globes on January 5, Jolie admitted that she was initially ‘really scared’ of letting Callas’ fans and family down with her portrayal.

‘Failing Maria Callas and the people who loved her really scared me,’ she said. ‘This was a big fear, but it’s fun. I mean, what are we alive for if not to confront our fears and get our hearts pumping and you know try things we’re not sure of.’

Jolie — who became an Oscar-winner 25 years ago — poured herself into the ‘personal’ role by learning to sing opera and even throwing herself back into the Hollywood press cycle to promote the film

Jolie declared: ‘This is my decade of do what scares you.’

Days before her appearance at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles, Jolie reached a settlement in her divorce from Brad — eight years after she first filed papers, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.

The Girl, Interrupted star is ‘exhausted’ and ‘relieved’ that ‘this one part’ of the family’s ‘healing’ journey is done and dusted.

Angelina’s lawyer James Simon 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.

‘This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.’

Angelina filed for divorce from Brad in September 2016 – after just two years of marriage.

It came just days after a journey on a private plane in which Angelina claimed Brad was abusive to her and their six children — Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 16 — but authorities did not charge him after investigating.

Angelina and Brad later released a joint statement declaring that they would keep all divorce proceedings private for the sake of their children.

They said: ‘The parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues.

‘The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification.’

They were declared legally single in 2019 but were locked in a lengthy battle over custody and legal issues over their French estate and winery, Château Miraval, following their split.
