Real reason Angelina Jolie got snubbed at 2025 Oscars

Angelina Jolie’s critically praised performance in biopic Maria was still not enough to get her an Oscar nomination.

According to an insider, there are certain reasons Angelina was snubbed at the 2025 Academy Awards.

“Number one, the thing that hurts Angelina is her almost total lack of a sense of humor or lightness when she talks about this movie,” the tipster explained to In Touch of the actress’ awards campaign.

“And when you combine that with the actual movie itself, there’s this air of sadness and moroseness around her that isn’t fun,” they continued. “She’s got a dark personality and Maria Callas‘ music is uplifting, but her story is not.”

The mole also claimed that the fact that the Tomb Raider star didn’t do the singing herself in the biopic is a major reason she didn’t get a nomination.

“Angelina also was harmed by the fact that she didn’t do her own singing. Even though Rami Malek got away with it six years ago on Bohemian Rhapsody, the mood has shifted and awards voters value authenticity above everything,” the insider explained..

The tipster noted that Angelina lost out against the likes of Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo due to their phenomenal singing in A Complete Unknown and Wicked.

“There’s also the problem of comparisons to Timmy Chalamet in A Complete Unknown. He did his own signing in that movie and absolutely killed it, stunning even his biggest naysayers. Timothée is even going on SNL next week to sing in character as Bob Dylan, live,” they added.

“It seems like the new standard for musical biopics, even ones about opera singers, is that you really have to do the singing yourself. Timmy’s success, plus the real singing done by the women of Wicked, completely overshadowed her,” they added of Angelina Jolie being snubbed at the 2025 Academy Awards.
