Angelina Jolie Accuses Brad Pitt of Sabotaging Oscar Nomination for "Maria" Amid Pamela Anderson's Rise

Angelina Jolie is reportedly furious after being snubbed for an Oscar nomination for her role in the biopic "Maria." Sources claim Jolie believes her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, orchestrated a smear campaign to damage her credibility and sway awards sentiment against her. The Venice Film Festival premiere of "Maria" generated significant buzz, with many predicting an Oscar nomination for Jolie. However, she was ultimately excluded from both the Oscars and SAG nominations, despite a Golden Globe nomination and a Gotham Award win. Adding to Jolie's frustration is the unexpected awards season success of Pamela Anderson in "The Last Showgirl." While Jolie reportedly holds no personal grudge against Anderson, sources say she finds the situation "bizarre" and suspects a deliberate narrative is being spun against her. The insider described her response to the SAG Awards snub as a "total meltdown."
