After years of struggling with her career amid a family feud with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie made her Hollywood comeback with Maria. Now, the star is hoping for at least an Oscar nod, if not a win. However, amid Jolie’s tantalizing wait, insiders spilled the tea on how the Lara Croft star’s age-old drama with Pitt’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston might ruin her Oscar dream.
Speaking exclusively with InTouch Weekly, sources noted that Jennifer Aniston is reportedly pouring gasoline on Angelina Jolie’s chances of winning an Oscar. According to sources, Aniston isn’t alone in this alleged scheme, she has apparently enlisted close friend Sandra Bullock to further light the match and burn down Jolie’s dream.
Jennifer Aniston is Reportedly Scheming Against Angelina Jolie’s Oscar Dream
Following a tumultuous few years marked by personal struggles and a long-standing feud with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie has made a stunning Hollywood comeback with her new film Maria. Chronicling the life of legendary opera singer Maria Callas, the new biopic is expected to spearhead Jolie’s comeback in the industry, where she once ruled as a prominent face.
With this new addition to her filmography, Angelina Jolie is eyeing a coveted Academy Award nod. However, recent reports suggest that age-old tensions with Jennifer Aniston could threaten her aspirations. According to insiders speaking to InTouch Weekly, Aniston is said to be allegedly scheming against Jolie’s resurgence.
Angie is assuming the identity of a woman who was every bit the glamorous star she once was and can be the kind of film that vaults her right back to the top… You’d hope for Angie’s sake, after all she put herself through to make Maria, that she could neutralize this threat but Jen’s social network is incredibly powerful, it’s tightly knit, and it’s full of A-listers.
The tension between the two women dates back to their shared history with Brad Pitt, and sources claim that Jennifer Aniston is actively trying to undermine Angelina Jolie’s chances of Oscar recognition. The report indicates that Aniston’s actions may not be simply rooted in rivalry but also in a desire to protect her own standing in an industry that can be unforgiving.
Jennifer Aniston Has Allegedly Enlisted Sandra Bullock in Her Grand Plan
With Maria gradually gaining buzz, sources claim that Jennifer Aniston‘s alleged schemes could prove detrimental to Angelina Jolie’s ambitions, especially as the awards season approaches. But the report gets even more tantalizing with sources claiming that Aniston isn’t alone in her rumored plan. She has even enlisted the help of close friend Sandra Bullock to derail Jolie’s success.
Sandra definitely has a history with Angie and there are certainly people in Angie’s camp who think Sandra’s signature role in Gravity should have gone to Angelina, since that was a project Angelina was very interested in starring in herself before Sandra landed the part. And of course, in the years since Angelina and Brad Pitt broke up, Sandra has formed a powerful alliance with Brad on two hit movies: The Lost City and Bullet Train.
It’s not really a mystery where Sandra’s loyalty is and her friendship with Jen plugs both of them into a powerful network of awards voters — this is the same crew that got Andrea Riseborough an Oscar nomination out of nowhere, and it’s a lot easier for them to make sure somebody doesn’t get nominated.
While Sandra Bullock has her own successful career, her collaboration with her Hollywood pal Jennifer Aniston suggests a united front against Angelina Jolie. With both actresses being prominent figures in Hollywood, their combined influence could indeed pose a significant challenge to the Maria star’s hopes for recognition this awards season. Only time will tell if Jolie’s talent and resilience will shine through.
Maria is set to release in U.S. theaters on November 27, 2024.
