On Thursday evening, Angelina Jolie walked the carpet in a custom-made outfit by Tara Ralph, complete with a fur stole. During the screening of her film 'Maria', she received an eight-minute-long standing ovation, and seeing such a response, Angelina became overwhelmed and couldn't hold back her tears. As she broke down, her 'Maria' co-star Pierfrancesco Favino comforted her. Following this, she thanked the audience.
As soon as the video of an emotional Jolie made its way to social media, fans began hailing her. One wrote, "She's been through so much, and to get this praise for her work must feel amazing." Another person commented, "Hope she gets the Oscar." A third fan wrote, "If there's one celebrity I stan, it will always be Angelina Jolie." Another user wrote, "Queen is back"
In the film directed by Pablo LarraÃn, Angelina Jolie will portray the legendary opera singer Maria Callas. The story centers on the last week of Callas's life in 1977, in Paris.
When asked whether she sees the role as a potential path to a second Oscar, Jolie emphasized, "For me, the bar in this, where I would know if I did good enough, are the Maria Callas fans and those who love opera, and my fear would be to disappoint them."
She added, "So of course all other things and in my own business if there's a response to the work, I'm very grateful. But in my heart, to disappoint the people who love her and who she means a lot to, and her legacy, I came to care for her. I didn't want to do a disservice to this woman."
Angelina Jolie's personal life has been making headlines since she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in September 2016. Their ongoing, widely publicized separation has brought serious allegations of abuse to light and led to Pitt's estrangement from their children.
