Standing ovations are rare.

Angelina consistently earned standing ovations for Maria.

How, with a standing ovation in practically every screening, can she not be nominated and win?

I don't think enough of the 2,500 members of the eclectic SAG AFTRA nominating committee saw the whole film.

It will hopefully be different with the 1,324 members of the actors branch of the AMPAS -- many of whom were in those screenings. The first with just actors voting for actors.

"Really thank you. You have no idea what that means." ♥️♥️

Angelina Jolie has seen how people appreciate her film and portrayal of Maria Callas. From her fans to co-actors to the Opera world. It's how her community gave her the space for her "madness", her craft. I'm very proud… pic.twitter.com/i4EtjtIrQB

Angelina Jolie Beams in All-White as She Debuts Bangs for First Red Carpet Since Finalizing Divorce from Brad Pitt https://t.co/KeZkTM0EoZ

Angelina Jolie was a vision on the carpet. The 49-year-old A-lister glowed as she posed for photos on the red carpet of the Palm Springs International Film Awards on Friday, Jan. 3 — her first carpet appearance since she and Brad Pitt, 61, reached a settlement in their divorce. She dazzled in an all-white blazer and pants, and nude heels. Jolie parted her long, blonde hair to the side along with her new bangs. She kept her makeup neutral with a rosy, pink lip.

Angelina Jolie’s advice to young actors (at the Q&A for Maria at Palm Springs): “LIVE A FULL LIFE.”
