At the Governors Awards on Sunday, Angelina Jolie looked like a pleased mother as she smiled with her son, Knox Jolie-Pitt.
The 48-year-old Oscar winner and her attractive 16-year-old son, whom she has with her ex-boyfriend Brad Pitt, commanded attention on the red carpet at the Ray Dolby Ballroom with their eye-catching fashion.
Jolie exuded Hollywood glitz in a sparkling sleeveless gown in gold and silver, while a matching necklace and large diamond earrings provided the ideal amount of shine.
She enjoyed an easy chuckle with Knox, who looked dazzling in a tuxedo, while her freshly lightened hair was styled in a stylish bun.
Knox, who looked a lot like his matinee hero father and towered over his mother, made a memorable big debut as the two posed for pictures.
It was an unusual mother-son moment at the star-studded event since his siblings, Maddox (22), Pax (20), Zahara (19), Shiloh (17), and Knox’s twin, Vivienne, were conspicuously missing.
The couple mixed with a number of celebrities from Hollywood, such as Elizabeth Olsen, Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, and Pamela Anderson.
Filmmakers Richard Curtis, casting director Juliet Taylor, James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G.
Wilson, and the late Quincy Jones are all being honored at the event, which is organized by the Academy’s board of governors.
Angelina’s appearance coincides with her ongoing promotion of her most recent movie, Maria, a biopic about opera icon Maria Callas that is already garnering Oscar talk.
Callas’s ultimate fall in Paris in the 1970s is shown in the film Maria, which was directed by Jackie Larrain.
With only one sentence, fans have demanded that the actress win an Oscar: I am so very excited to watch this film! Really, Angelina Jolie’s portrayal of Maria is going to blow me away. She’s going to win the Oscar.
An further person begged the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science to just “award Angelina the Oscar for her portrayal of Maria Callas already.”
A third joked that they were already planned on “running the Angelina Jolie Oscar campaign,” although acknowledging they hadn’t yet seen the teaser.
“The trailer for Maria is stunning.” A fourth tweeted, “Give Angelina Jolie the Oscar already; I’ve seen enough.”
A summary states that Maria ‘follows the American-Greek singer as she retires to Paris after a dazzling and difficult existence in the public eye.’
As the diva wrestles with her identity and existence, the movie attempts to “reimagine the legendary soprano in her final days.”
She passed away at the age of 53 from a heart attack in Paris in 1977. The much awaited film will be available for viewing in cinemas in November and on Netflix in December.
Before making its Netflix premiere on the streaming service on December 11, the movie will be released in cinemas throughout the United States on November 27.
In the 1999 psychological thriller Girl, Interrupted, the mother of six played Lisa Rowe, a diagnosed psychopath, and earned an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Her performance as Christine Collins in the mystery crime thriller Changeling earned her a nomination for the 2008 Academy Award for Best Actress. Marion Cotillard, a French actress, won for her major part in La Vie en Rose, although she lost.
Jolie has won many accolades during her career, including a Tony Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globes. Jolie won her first Tony during the summer, putting her halfway to EGOT status.
One of the most prominent organizations in American entertainment is the EGOT, and several celebrities are just one win away from earning the esteemed honor.
Those who have won all four of the major American performance prizes are designated with the acronym, which stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony prizes.
Only 21 individuals have accomplished the feat, and Jolie only has to win an Emmy and a Grammy to do it.
