Angelina Jolie is known for her cool demeanor, but she's been making an effort to be more friendly and outgoing at Hollywood events. This comes after she didn't receive an Oscar nomination for her role as Maria Callas, despite critical acclaim.
Angelina Jolie is carefully reshaping her Hollywood image. The Oscar-winning actress was known for an icy exterior when interacting with powerful figures in the exclusive world of Tinseltown. The 49-year-old mother of six appeared to keep other celebrities at a distance as she rose to fame. She even stated years ago that she didn't have many famous friends, emphasizing that her closest confidants were her children.
Meanwhile, her now ex-husband, Brad Pitt, whom she remains frosty with even after their finalized divorce, cultivated a popular image by associating with prominent figures like George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio. However, during this year's awards season, Jolie has undergone a noticeable transformation. Her regal and untouchable demeanor has been replaced by a warm and friendly persona. This shift was evident at the Critics Choice Awards this weekend, where the 'Maria' actress embraced Demi Moore. She also greeted her close friend, Zoe Saldana. Prior to that, she was seen warmly interacting with Kate Winslet and Salma Hayek at the Golden Globe Awards. At the Palm Springs Film Awards, she engaged in conversation with Nicole Kidman. And at the Maltin Modern Master Award during the 40th Santa Barbara International Film Festival, she stayed close to Ava DuVernay.'Angelina knows what she is doing, it's on purpose,' a source told DailyMail.com. 'She is reaching out in the Hollywood community to make new friends. And she loves it! She likes making new female friends, and she has tremendous respect for her famous pals. It's a good thing.' Angelina already has established friendships in Hollywood. One notable connection is with Salma Hayek, whom she worked with on the film 'The Eternals.' Jolie also hired Hayek to star in her upcoming movie 'Without Blood.' 'Salma is very smart, I would not be surprised if she was the one who told Angelina to get out there more and network and make friends,' said the source. 'Salma is a mentor type, she helps a lot of her buddies. She really cares. And I know Angelina looks up to her. So I bet Salma encourages Angelina to show her warmer side,' added the Hollywood insider.Jolie has also handled the news of not being nominated for an Oscar for her portrayal of opera singer Maria Callas with grace. 'She is not sitting at home pouting, she is out there hitting every event and putting a smile on, that is very cool of her,' said the source. 'She is a true professional.' Jolie was reportedly 'devastated' over her Oscars snub for 'Maria,' as insiders suggest Hollywood has sided with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. Jolie has said on numerous occasions that she doesn't have many friends in Hollywood, but she is very close to Salma Hayek. Despite critical acclaim, Jolie's performance as the late opera singer Maria Callas in the Pablo Larraín-directed biopic did not receive a Best Actress nomination at the 2025 Academy Awards. Jolie — who won an Oscar 25 years ago — immersed herself in the 'personal' role by learning to sing opera and even endured a grueling Hollywood press cycle to promote the Netflix film. The news follows her failure to secure a Screen Actors Guild Awards nomination for the dramatic performance. While she did earn a Best Actress nod at the recent Golden Globes, the prestigious honor ultimately went to acclaimed Brazilian star Fernanda Torres for 'I'm Still Here.' Being overlooked by the Academy could 'devastate' Jolie as she 'desperately wanted to get nominated,' according to Page Six
