Angelina Jolie’s Shocking Reaction to Pamela Anderson’s 2025 Oscar Nomination
After finally finalizing her divorce from Brad Pitt at the end of December, following eight years of legal battles, Angelina Jolie moved on by changing her look and cutting her bangs. However, her focus soon shifted to the 2025 Oscars, where she had hoped to be nominated for her role in the biographical film Maria. But when her name was missing from the list of nominees, Jolie was taken aback and claimed that her ex-husband played a role in her snub.
An insider revealed that Jolie believes Hollywood is still heavily influenced by Pitt, and that no one was willing to go against him and support her. “People love him,” the source said.
Jolie was deeply disappointed that her performance as Maria Callas was overlooked, especially since she had poured her heart and soul into the project. Despite Pitt denying any involvement, the actress firmly believes that his actions had a lasting impact, further fueling her anger.
What truly shocked her was the nomination of Pamela Anderson, who earned a spot in the Best Actress category for her role in Showgirls. Anderson, known for her iconic ’90s bikini-clad image, was nominated despite her reputation primarily being built around her looks, not her acting skills.
While Jolie has nothing personal against Anderson, she finds it odd that someone whose fame is more associated with their body than their talent is being hailed as a favorite for the prestigious award season. This left Jolie wondering if her own hard work was truly being recognized.
Jolie, who had worked intensely on her vocal skills for the role, had hoped the Oscars would acknowledge the dedication she put into becoming Maria Callas. During the Maria premiere in Venice, she was brought to tears, receiving eight minutes of applause from the audience.
Despite this emotional recognition, the actress continues to feel the sting of what she sees as an unfair Oscar snub, which only adds fuel to her frustration with the Hollywood system and her past with Brad Pitt.
