Angelina Jolie Could Sing Her Way to Second Oscar Win Playing a Legendary Diva in Pablo Larrain’s ‘Maria’
Angelina Jolie could win her second Oscar for her role as Maria Callas in Pablo Larrain's "Maria."
As I sat through the North American premiere of Pablo Larraín’s biopic of Maria Callas at the Telluride Film Festival, which stars Angelina Jolie as the famed opera singer, I couldn’t help but recall a line from Al Pacino in “The Godfather Part III” (1990): “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” “Maria” is part of Larraín’s trilogy of iconic women, which began with “Jackie” (2016), starring Natalie Portman as Jacqueline Kennedy, and “Spencer” (2021), with Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana. Pay special attention to the makeup and hairstyling race, as seen with the past three winning films—“Poor Things” (2023), “The Whale” (2022), and “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” (2021)—which also won for either lead actor or actress.
