Angelina Jolie is reportedly "devastated" after being snubbed for a best actress nomination at the 2025 Oscars for her role in "Maria."

Despite critical acclaim and Jolie's intense press, insiders suggest Hollywood politics and her contentious divorce from brad pitt influenced the outcome.

The Oscars Sunbu follows coverage of Angelina Jolie's divorce, which ended an eight-year legal battle with her ex-husband.

Jolie is said to be saddened after being snubbed by the academy for her role in "Maria," the "Pablo Larraín" biopic of opera legend Maria Callas.

According to reports, insiders suggest Hollywood may have subtly leaned in favor of her ex-husband Brad Pitt.

This marks another comeback for the actress, who also missed pulling on a headscarf after an exhaustive effort to promote the Netflix film.

Jolie, who won an Oscar 25 years ago, committed herself fully to the demanding role by learning opera by singing and crossing on a rare and grueling tour.

It landed her her first late-night appearance in over a decade on "The Tonight Show uddring Jimmy Fallon" and appeared on multiple magazine covers to promote the film.

Although she secured a Golden Globe nomination, the award ultimately went to Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres for "I'm Still Here."

Sources close to Jolie revealed her deep disappointment, saying Page six: "Angelina is going to be devastated ... look at all the press she did for the movie — She wanted to get nominated. She did Jimmy Fallon, her first late-night show in a decade. She went to the Gotham Awards. all these magazines cover ".

An anonymous Hollywood Awards pundit said on the way out that the Oscars Sunbub was a blow to Jolie and Netflix, the company that produced "Maria."

The expert added that Jolie is likely "undoubtedly upset" by the lack of recognition.

Another insider speculated that Jolie's exclusion could be related to her highly publicized and contentious divorce from fellow Oscar winner Pitt, which was finalized last month after an eight-year legal battle.

They claimed that the international media favored Jolie, while Pitt continues to be Hollywood's golden boy.

"It just goes to show that Hollywood is a team breed," the source said Page six. "The Globes showed that the foreign press loves her, but it's not Hollywood. No one is going to go against Brad and vote for Angelina ... People just love Brad."

Another source noted that Jolie's Oscar suspension may be related to the number of actors who received their first nominations this year.

They said that while social "politics" may influence awards, the Academy's decision to honor a few nominated names over established names like Jolie and Nicole, who were also snubbed for her role in "Babygirl," signals a broader industry trend.

"Divorce is and yes, politics come into play a little along with films and performances. But the fact that there are a lot of first-time nominees shows that we still have a healthy industry," he stated that we still have a healthy industry ".

"Maria" marked Jolie's definitive return to acting after several years away from the big screen, during which she focused on directing and raising six children.

According to IMDBThe film, which had a limited release before debuting on Netflix in December, follows operatic legend Maria Callas (played by Jolie), who "lives the last days of her life in 1970s Paris as she confronts her identity and her life."

In August, the 49-year-old spoke The Hollywood Reporter About the valuable experience of her sons, maddox and pax, they gained during the production of "Maria".

"MAD and PAX have been on this one. We do ad (assistant directing) work. They've done it quite a few times, and I think it's good for them," she explained.

Jolie also revealed why she decided to return to acting, explaining that her children's growing independence gave her her flexibility.

"They're a little older, becoming more independent. I'm less needed and so able to go to different time periods," Jolie said. "And they're old enough to join me at work. It's a new season in our lives. I'm so excited for them that every day is getting into theirs and more."

Jolie's Oscar Snub comes after it was revealed that she and Pitt have finally reached a settlement in their divorce proceedings.

The Hollywood stars first met while filming 'Mr and Mrs Smith' in 2003 and then started dating before tying the knot in August 2014.

However, shortly after their second wedding anniversary and an alleged private jet abuse incident, the "Maleficent" actress filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their separation.

According to Daily mailPitt and Jolie put pen to paper in December last year, with Jolie's divorce lawyer James Simon saying the actress was "letting go like this, this one part is over."

"Honestly, Angelina is exhausted," Simon said at the news outlet. "More than eight years ago, she filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children relinquished all properties they shared with Mr. Pitt, and since then have focused on finding peace and healing for their family."
