By the end of the Golden Globes red carpet, Angelina Jolie’s social battery was empty and she looked a bit burned out by all of the interviews. Still, I’m proud of her for doing the red carpet like the movie star she is, and doing all of those red carpet interviews. She brought Zahara Jolie as her date to the Globes, just as Zahara was with her in Palm Springs on Friday night. Zahara spent the whole weekend, wearing couture with mom.
Angelina and Zahara both wore McQueen and I’m really happy that they did. This has the feel of Angelina simply going to an atelier she trusts and asking them to make two gowns for her and Zahara, no muss no fuss. The McQueen people did right by her – no sack dresses, no goth-girl looks. This silver dress looks so elegant and classy. Whoever did her hair swept back those fakakta bangs too. Zahara’s dress was lovely as well, and she looked like a princess. I think that out of all six kids, Zahara enjoys this the most – getting dressed up and going to Hollywood events or premieres.
Unfortunately, Jolie lost Best Actress to Fernanda Torres in I’m Still Here, the Brazilian film which I have not seen (it’s been shortlisted on a lot of “best films of 2024” lists though). Honestly, I kind of think Jolie’s Oscar campaign surged too early, and it will be a miracle if she actually gets an Oscar nomination. Notably, she was not nominated for a BAFTA and a lot of critics’ associations have blanked her. The win, at this point, will be an Oscar nomination.

Explain to me, please, how does she manage to get more beautiful with every passing year!
She looks so lovely but so different smiling. It’s like a softer side to her that the public isn’t privy to as much.
Angelina gave a beautiful and great performance as maria c a l l a s i was disappointed she did not win.
She is amazing in that movie. It was captivating.
The best looking couple of the night! Both gorgeous! Zahara’s simplistic white gown accentuates her beauty and Angie is just stunning in that gown, something I never expected to see her in. I also never thought Angie would win the Globe or any other award for her performance — I feel from the beginning that it would be stacked against her. I also feel critics judge her more severely than they would any other actress because she is Angelina Jolie. After all these years of being abused by Brad, the media, and critics, I just want her to have fun and enjoy herself.
Fernanda Torres is THE MOMENT. Winning over such accomplished actors and have Tilda Swinton standing up to applaud her felt like winning the World Cup again. What a night for Brazilians!!!
Yess! And with an amazing performance and movie!
@ØSTAY. Read any article about Kate and then talk about toxicity. This site if filled with people who dislike Kate in the strongest of terms. To act shocked that there are people here expressing differing opinions about a film performance and it’s award worthiness is disingenuous.
One comment blamed Angie’s lack of critical support on an “Old Salty Dude” or “Voight or Billy Bob”. Another said “critics judge her more severely than they would any other actress because she is Angelina Jolie”.
This is where discussions go off the rail because these are opinions that become theories, and before you know it there’s an entire smear campaign going against Angie. And this is where I draw the line when it comes to movie reviews.
Either you liked her performance or you didn’t. Either you think she deserves an award or you don’t. All the other stuff about her personal life isn’t relevant to the topic.
I love Z’s dress; actually, I like her dress better than Angie’s. I have a feeling Z is just starting to come into her looks and in her 20s and 30s she will be drop-dead gorgeous.
As stunningly beautiful as Angie still is, she’s never been a fashionista. She gives me the impression she treats fashion as an afterthought. A lot of her red carpet dresses have been hit and miss. That face, though, cancels out a multitude of sartorial sins.
Z must be really petite. Angie is middle height, 5’6” or 5’7”, and Z hardly tops her shoulder.
I’m already fashion plating Zahara’s next red carpet appearance. I need more colorful dresses for Zahara, like bright reds, oranges, blues, greens, etc.! I love that she loves doing these awards shows with her Mom and yet she seems so blase about being surrounded by Hollywood.
Z looked amazing. And yay for AJ in that dress. It was such a cool texture and overall look.
Z is stunning!
Angelina looks beautiful. I really dont understand the lack of critics support for her performance in Maria and they’ve always been like this when it’s about her, girl interrupted, Changeling both of her oscar nominated performance they barely nominated her in the regional critics associations. Even for Girl interrupted and she won. It’s so weird.
I really hope she will be able to get the nom, she deserves this
never underestimate the power of an old salty dude — AJ has never been a critics choice — I don’t know if it is because of Voight or Billy Bob antics, Brad etc. but you can count on people blaming it on and holding it against the woman.
What a fun awards show!! This year was just great stacked if I am being honest. Still love seeing Angelina being out and about and being welcomed by her peers! Her hair was lovely as well
I love her dress-it shows that the house has range besides those fugly, stuffy coatdresses that we all associate with them since it’s apparently all that Kate wears anymore. Shows that they *could* put her in something pretty and flattering if that’s what she wanted.
ABSOLUTELY nothing unfortunate about Fernanda’s win. It was well deserved.
@Tanquerita we as American women want people to stop acting like no one is happy Ms. Torres won. You all are acting quite silly about the whole thing. I think they’ve been indoctrinated by some crazy woman in Brazil ion some hate campaign especially against Angie. I mean iit is disturbing and disrespectful on X,
Please don’t bring that here
I quoted directly from the text above, “American woman named Facts”. That’s the word that was used to describe Fernanda’s win. Unlike you, i, a very German woman, don’t waste my time on X and have therefore no idea about any hate campaigns against Jolie. As a former opera singer I found her performance highly embarrassing and cringeworthy and the movie itself a horrible disservice to Maria’s memory, but that’s just my opinion.
It’s simply a smear campaign against Angelina, an attempt to create a negative narrative against her. All this hate kills, there is no justification.
@Tanquerita. As an opera singer to you what was so insulting to Callas? The story which was true. She was using Mandrax, she was severely ill, depressed, secluded and left her husband for a married man. I have seen documentaries way more insulting to Callas than a movie that paid homage to her imho. To be honest it showed her in a much more positive light.
And yes social media trolls weren’t just disrespecting Jolie and the others because they are angry about something that happened years ago they were downright hateful.
The movie Showed how the public and her own family treated her so horribly. And it also shows how she wanted to sing again but her illness wouldn’t let her. If you think that’s insulting then in suggest u do her justice.
I’m happy that Angie is moving away from her Versace wheelhouse and wearing other designers. This look wasn’t my favorite of hers, but good to see she’s trying something different. Not a fan of the hair either. I wish she’d go back to Ted Gibson.
Zahara is our beautiful Ethiopian princess. She looks so serene and quite unfazed at all the hoopla. I’m guessing if your mom is Angelina Jolie, you’re already starting with the best.
We NEVER get recognized for shit even though we put out quality content. We had to watch Fernanda Montenegro get robbed 25 years ago.
We are a continental sized country with 210 million people and the international press never cares about anything that happens here unless it is to point fingers while understanding nothing of our history.
Excuse us for being excited about this, excuse us to finally not have negative connotations even though our country is full of good things. Excuse us for wanting to be recognized outside of the basic and sometimes even false shit of tiny bikinis and football. Excuse me if me as a Brazilian woman don’t want to be seen as a slut even though that is completely false due to harmful stereotypes no one cares to check on!
Yes, some Brazilians can be extra on social media, but so can any other nationalities and we’ve always had to hear shit so…
Why blame the actresses for that. It’s good to celebrate but as I stated Torres had way much more class about herself than those fans who were just awful and have been for weeks. Be proud!
I don’t think anyone on these threads are downplaying Torres win. It was a well deserved accolade for a great performance. I have seen on X a whole slew of garbage vile hate directed towards Jolie because she had the audacity to be nominated for the same award — many of them coming from fans who were rooting for Torres. What did Angelina have anything to do with Torres winning or not winning an acting award? I get that some people didn’t think Jolie did not even warrant a nomination, but there’s a fine line between criticizing an actress’ performance and spewing disgusting attacks on her and her family because what? She DARED campaigned for the movie during award season? So excuse me for wanting to defending a woman who continually gets gutted in the press and social media for being Angelina Jolie.
No one here is blaming the actress. I don’t go to X because it’s a toxic wasteland and I’m not disputing that there is hate against any other person there. I’m sure that a loud minority is spewing hate, seems about right considering the society we live in right now.
I’m not even saying that Brazilians are innocent. Of course not all are, and on social media we can get passionate and some people take a very wrong route.
However this kind of things happens all the time. There was hate against Emma Stone last year due to Lili Gladstone, there was hate for Lewis Hamilton for Verstappen and vice versa. Why are we acting like this is an isolated case and use it as reason why we can’t talk about it, be happy, celebrate and want to be recognized?
Why are we an exception? Why aren’t we allowed nuances? Why are we judged for the behavior of a minority while we give other countries leniency when it comes to theirs?
Maybe check your behavior and your contempt towards Brazilians and where that might stem from.
On Friday, I saw Angie at the Palm Springs Film Festival for a screening of Maria, followed by a live Q&A. I was sitting very close, in the second row. Thrill of a lifetime!! (Wrote about it here, with photo : https://medium.com/@eat2evolve/what-i-learned-from-angelina-jolie-the-beauty-of-standing-on-principles-357da7226db0 )
In person, Angelina looked fragile, beautiful, and ethereal. Angelic, truly. Sweet and shy. It is clear that she has endured great difficulties, and still demands much of herself. Speaking of humanitarian causes, she shared that she felt she hadn’t done as much as she might have during the past ten years, because she needed to focus on her health and her family. Well, I give her a pass. I can only begin to imagine.
As for the film, it was spectacular, but very, very sad. I hope Angie does a nice comedy next. She has wonderful comedic timing, and deserves to have some fun. Lots of fun! She’s suffered enough for one lifetime. Wishing her happiness and love. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this. She really deserves the best
I’m surprised/not surprised that conspiracy theories have made it into the discussion of Angelina getting nominated for awards. Maria debuted on Netflix right after its release and didn’t get great reviews. Bottom line, it’s not a very good film and her performance isn’t groundbreaking enough to make her a serious candidate for awards glory. For this year and this film, Angelina’s fans should be happy if she gets nominated.
What conspiracy theory? The movie was fine right in par with Lorrian’s other films and she was great in the film but not one actress’s nominated gave a performance that is groundbreaking and that’s so magnetic that it resonated across borders. We can stop that. It’s a competition based on a number of voters opinions. That’s how it’s chosen and fans will be fans.
@Facts, ignore that person because she’s always on here saying some nasty things. You would think that if you’re not a fan of someone, you wouldn’t come to the page when they’re talking about her but nope, here she is every time! As per usual everything she just said was delusional.
@Karla what about her seems fragile?
I have my personal opinions on her fragility.
Her dad and ex husband have really did a number on her these past years.
She seems more strong mentally
I agree that among all of her kids, Zahara looks more relaxed in these events. I would assume if any of them chooses a career in front of cameras, it would be Zahara. I loved her dress, very simple and elegant. It also suits her age.
Why do we have haters bringing their toxicity here? We see you
@Stay there a couple of them that always show up. You would think if you’re not a fan of Angelina that you wouldn’t come over here and write nasty things as far as the person that was saying that she was embarrassed because she was a form of opera singer where you were the only one because the opera community ralluec around her and told her that she got it right. So if you summon you all don’t like Angelina kick rock don’t come over here and leave a post. We don’t want to hear that and we didn’t bring up the fact that most of those actresses didn’t give a groundbreaking performance. I just noticed over the years. There’s a lot of women that just dislike Jolie and I call them out. Example I don’t like Aniston, but I don’t go out of my way to write something negative her like they do with Angelina.
I love how these 2 great dresses compliment each other with an organic themed design. Zahara’s features a tree and Angie’s literally looks like it’s made out of roots.
Can Torres fans go away. You are already harrassing every contender on every platforms. That’s enough
Zahara looks great, what a lovely dress! Angelina’s face is stunning, and I really like the very pared down make-up (with that face nothing much is needed!), but I find the dress and the hair both unfortunate and matronly. I feel like she’s constantly working against her own beauty in her styling!
I like Zahara’s gown, perfect for a young woman there with her mom.
I like the beading of Angelina’s but not the shredded effect.
