Angelina Jolie Spotted Shopping with Son Knox After Oscar Snub
Angelina Jolie, the acclaimed actress known for her roles in Maleficent and other blockbuster films, was seen out shopping with her 16-year-old son, Knox, following a difficult morning. The Hollywood star appeared calm and collected despite facing a personal setback earlier in the day—she was snubbed from the 2025 Academy Awards nominations for Best Actress.
On Thursday, January 25, 2025, paparazzi captured the mother-son duo heading to their car with a grocery cart full of items. Knox, dressed casually in a hoodie and shorts, was taller than his mother, while Jolie kept it chic in a camel-colored long coat, black pants, and dark sunglasses. The pair seemed to be in good spirits despite the challenges of the day.
Earlier that morning, Angelina Jolie had learned that she did not make the cut for the coveted Oscar nomination for her role as Maria Callas in the movie Maria. Despite receiving praise for her portrayal of the famous opera singer, Jolie’s performance didn’t secure her a nomination from the Academy Awards, despite her previous win. She had spent months learning opera for the role, making the snub even more painful.
Jolie’s performance in Maria had earned her a Golden Globe nomination, but she missed out on nominations from the SAG Awards and the Academy Awards, leaving many fans and critics surprised. A source close to the actress revealed that she was deeply disappointed by the news, especially after dedicating so much personal emotion to the role.
In contrast to her Oscar snub, Jolie had received international attention for her film and was featured on the covers of several major magazines, even appearing on The Jimmy Fallon Show for the first time in over a decade. Despite this, the lack of recognition from Hollywood for her performance felt like a blow to the actress.
There have been rumors swirling about the potential influence of Brad Pitt, her ex-husband, in the Oscar race. Some sources believe that Hollywood’s bias towards Brad Pitt played a role in Jolie’s exclusion from the nomination list. “This just shows that Hollywood is Team Brad,” a third source claimed. Brad and Angelina first met while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, and their high-profile relationship became the subject of intense media scrutiny. After a tumultuous marriage, they divorced in 2016, and their battle over financial assets and custody of their children continued for years.
While their personal drama may have played a role in her absence from the Oscar nominations, it’s clear that Angelina Jolie is pushing forward, focusing on her family and continuing to navigate the ups and downs of both her professional and personal life.
