I was super-excited to see Angelina Jolie at the 2018 Golden Globes, and she did not disappoint. Jolie hasn’t attended a major awards show – Globes, SAGs, Oscars – in a few years. She’s had other sh-t on her plate, and yes, she hadn’t been invited as a nominee in recent years. I would assume she gets constant invites to present, and this year, she decided to take them up. Plus, First They Killed My Father was nominated (it did not win). Jolie brought her son Pax as her date!
Angelina wore black, as did everybody else. Angelina’s blackout is more of a lifestyle choice than anything else though, let’s be real! Jolie wore this feathered-and-chiffon Atelier Versace which is amazing, and looked great on her. It’s has sack vibes, yet it’s flattering and pretty and very ‘70s. The HFPA knew just what to do to keep Angelina happy during the show too – there were no awkward cutaways to Angelina when Jennifer Aniston or Laura Dern were on-stage (obviously, Jolie has history with both women). They let her present with the coolest woman in the room, Isabelle Huppert. And they seated Jolie with Chris Hemsworth and Taika Waititi, in what was The Sexy Table.

As for Isabelle Huppert, she wore Chloe. I kind of wish she had worn an awesome suit or tuxedo, but this is fine too.

She looks great! What history does she have with Laura Dern?
Billy Bob Thornton left Laura Dern for Angelina
Ohhh ok! Thanks
Which means that Jolie doesn’t have an history with her… Her ex does.
Which means AJ has a history of being with men who have interrupted their relationships for her.
Both Laura and her assistant said that BBT broke up with Laura before getting together with Angelina.
And frankly both Jennifer & Laura have worse history of “stealing men” then Angelina does. They just have good PR and gets away with it.
@maya Laura Dern has never said that, her famous quote was that she “left her home for work on a movie and while i was away my boyfriend got married, i never heard from him again”.
Dern’s father and later Dern herself admitted it was all lies. She and BBT were done before he left for filming.
“Which means that Jolie doesn’t have an history with her… Her ex does.”
THANK YOU. Men cannot be stolen. they have free will and if the man who left has wanted to stay, he would have.
this goes for BBT, Pitt, Theroux, Harper and Donovan. and all men. while I don’t agree with pursuing a man (or woman) that is in a relationship, the onus to KEEP the relationship is on the person who IS IN IT.
Don’t oversensitive.
She has a history through BBT. A shared history doesn’t equal fault.
Lara Dern at the time did say it came out of nowhere but also that the relationship wasn’t good at the time.
Relax.
@peanutbuttr
Except Billy and Laura’s Dad, Bruce Dern said that was untrue. Billy said he and Laura had broken up and were no longer boyfriend and girlfriend.
Since Laura Dern went on to have an affair with married w/children Ben Harper who was expecting a child with his then wife at the time (Laura got pregnant at the same time too so both Ben’s wife and his mistress Laura were preg together – how precious!) not to mention the fact that Billy was married and his wife claims he cheated on her with not quite truthful Laura Dern…
I’d refrain from siding with Laura and bashing Angelina who cheated with no one.
@magnoliarose people here are pointing out inconsistensies from Laura and hipocritycal attitude from some posters. Laura has the nerve to complain, when she had been with BBT even before his divorce of his first wife, and continued her pattern by getting on with Harper. Bith men very much married and with children.
Aniston’s Theroux was in an on off relationahip that gives him a pass as when he got win JA, he also was not married , so Theroux situation was just like Laura and BBT’s , giving BBT and Jolie a pass.
It’s all water under the bridge, but it makes me chuckle to see the miral gymnastics of some people to justify Laura or Aniston, and daring to criticise a commenter for calling out people who conviniently leave out some parts if the story.
Sorry Ennie but that claim that Justin and Heidi were in an ‘on off’ relationship came from Aniston fans and was made up. Justin and Heidi lived together for several years. They shared an apartment together and were certainly not on/off, that was a lie that Heidi and her mother debunked. Heidi and Justin were together for 14 years, vs a couple of years Dern and BBT and 4.5 years married Pitt and Aniston, so I think longevity-wise, 14 years is a heck of a lot worse.
I know, Caroline, but if they use that rumour as a pass for JT, then they should believe BBT when he says that he had ended with Laura Dern before getting married to AJ. Tits for tats.
Otherwise it is hypocrisy (spelling?)
Mostly Morgan, why do people act like Dern is so innocent? Ben Harper was married when she got with him. in fact she was pregnant at the same time as his wife.
Most women and men in Hollywood have cheated or been cheated on yet Angelina is the one constantly called out for it.
Exactly plus Jennifer got together with Justin while he was in a 14 year relationship with Heidi. She also dated her Tate Donovan while his fiancé was pregnant and she lost the child.
@maya There are interviews from justin (from before he was with jennifer) where he said he was single multiple times during his relationship with his ex. They had a on/of relationship. He/his friends said that he was single when he started with Jen. His ex stayed in his apartment (he has two) in NY until she had a another place to stay. Also that is a really big lie about tate donovan and frankly it’s disgusting that you would spread that kind of gossip.
Notok: oh I am not spreading any gossip – it was a known gossip for years and has been talked about.
If you believe Justin then you also have to believe Brad, Angelina and even Jennifer when they all said no cheating was involved. And I bet you believe Justin but don’t believe Brad…
By the way – Heidi’s mother came out and said Heidi was blindsided by Justin and they were in a relationship when Justin got together with Jennifer.
So stop being a hypocrite or critize all of them.
PS: Jen also dated her so called friend’s husband Chris Garten while he was still married. Jennifer’s friend herself said she was shocked that Jennifer dated her husband.
@notok,
IIRC, Maya was a vociferous commenter in the saga of the uncool triangle, so take it with a grain of salt.
Exactly, i am bored.
It’s been talked about for long, but even Heidi Biven’s mom was quoted and it was stated that she was his fiancee. Fiancee does not make for much on-off.
Good riddance for her anyway.
Seems like there are a lot of relationship in which the end of that relationship isn’t discussed properly or there is no agreement if a relationship is currently “on” or “off”.
Honestly, many people chose on/off relationships with partners who are more in love while they wait for somebody better. And as long as this somebody doesn’t come along then the relationship with the one in love is “on” and as soon as the better somebody enters the relationship with the one in love is suddenly “off”.
And I wouldn’t blame the one who is more in love for not leaving such an on/off relationship. Because being in love means you do crazy things and your judgement gets worse.
Also all relationships have some better times and some other times. There are changes and “phases” and ups and downs and then ups again and then downs. So I guess you can “steal” a spouse when the better times are temporarily gone and the other times are the current modus operandi.
Now you are attacking Dern when Dern has never attacked anyone else. Defend your idol, but there is no need to trash another woman to do it.
Trash Ben Harper. Trash BBT. They are the ones who had intimate relationships they betrayed, and though it isn’t the best behavior to hook up with someone in an active relationship, no one knows what the guys said to the women. So let us carry ourselves into the present and out of the Victorian era, please.
Actually @notok I’ve read nothing of the sort. Can you provide links? The only thing confirmed was that he was living with his gf of 14 years and her mother admitted to a weekly that she was devastated when he left her out of the blue and that he cheated on her daughter with Aniston.
Oh yes- let’s defend Angelina by turning around and attacking Laura Dern and Jennifer Aniston… girl power ladies!
One things for certain @Mirja, i don’t think Ben Harper’s pregnant wife thought her relationship was ending when she got pregnant until Laura Dern also got knocked up by her husband.
Really @moonbeam
Let’s proclaim ‘girl power!’ and habitually attack accomplished beautiful women we envy with lies and untruths and when some other woman defends her, let’s attack them and claim they’re not being empowering. Real Chelsea Handler-ish move there moonbeam. We c u.
#hypocrites
Why not, Moon Beam? Why is it ok to attack Angelina, but not Laura or Jennifer? Why is Angelina held to different standards than these 2? Why do Laura and Jennifer get a pass all the time and people trying to hush up anyone who tells it like it is? Either attack all, or none.
What’s the big deal with Justin and Heidi? It was obviously cold and dead by the time he hooked up with Jennifer. If it was a good relationship he’d still be in it.
Sabrine Heidi and Justin were living together as a couple, shared an apartment and only 2 weeks previous to Jennifer and Justin coming out, Heidi and Justin were photographed all lovey dovey. Doesn’t sound like it was ‘cold and dead’ to most people. What is the deal with trying to excuse what they did to Heidi? What is with the mental gymnastics to absolve what Jennifer and Justin did? Would you like to be blindsided by your partner of 14 years?
“It was obviously cold and dead by the time he hooked up with….” and “If it was a good relationship he’d still be in it.” Spoken like a common variety mistress or cheater trying to justify their actions. I guess anyone can be excused of cheating on their spouse/partner of 14 years by your line. Are you really serious?
@notok, @Sabrine
No matter which way you cut it, at the very least Justin was obviously stringing Heidi along for 14 yrs. He gets to play the “well we weren’t married” card and claim they weren’t as serious anymore or were “off” at the time. Yes these things do happen to well intended people at times too, but I for one think he was stringing her along until he found a better (wealthier) fish.
Heidi should have filed for palimony compensation if she met the criteria. In California you can also file a “relationship” status (forgot the proper title) where there is an understanding of support or property sharing with between an unmarried couple. One partner can file for this, but the other partner has to be notified of this claim on his/her person/property. It’s a good thing to do for common law couples that moved to CA or couples that don’t believe in marriage or for someone like a Heidi that’s getting strung along for 14 yrs and has finally sought to protect herself.
It’s like when Simmon Cowell’s ex sued him for reneging on his promise to marry her. They’d been together for 1.5 yrs, or she was able to show that she was under the expectation of marriage for 1.5 yrs. She won her claim and he had to pay her for the time she had spent waiting to get married. It was in the UK, but Calif still has some provisions for these situations even though the state no longer recognizes common law marriage.
It’s funny how people offer strong opinions wishing to excuse unsavory behavior of some over others, and then when offered certain facts suddenly they’re ‘bored,’ and ‘can’t be bothered’ because the facts don’t square with the narrative they wish to see.
I love the sleeves, but I wish it had been more of a play on a 60’s babydoll nightie. It looked so good on top, but then at the waist it just becomes another completely unimaginative Versace. It would have been so good if the sheer fabric kept flaring out all the way to the ground and the fitted top part had been a whole fitted dress underneath.
Also, the mother and son pictures are cute, but honestly, I’m getting uncomfortable with how often she’s bringing her children to work events these days. It’s been constant, and it’s really starting to feel like she needs them there for support, which isn’t a great position to put children in even if they’re willing.
I’m uncomfortable with that too, and seriously wonder about the motive.
Nothing uncomfortable about bringing your kids to work events. Talk about fake concerns.
I would bring my daughter, sister or brother if I had to choose someone. Why is she being judged for that? Tom Cruise always brought/brings his mother and Brad Pitt has brought his parents on several occasions. Geez people she’s not Satan. Stop already.
Maddox was a so-called “producer” on the movie. I guess he’s tired of showing up at these events.
Angelina looked gorgeous. I loved the gown on her.
The kids didn’t start accompanying her to EVERYTHING until she and Brad split. And yes, it’s a bit weird to have her kids (in various combinations) accompany her to every industry event. I understand Mad accompanying her to the awards shows where FTKMF since he was involved with the production etc. But it’s getting to the stage where it looks like she can’t function in Holywood without the shield of her children.
Pax was one of the onset photographers on FTKMF so he was involved with the film as well as Maddox.
Wrong. Brad was on red carpets with HER kids pre divorce. No one had a problem with how often we saw the kids when they were together. It’s only an issue now that he’s been revealed as a child abuser and deadbeat.
Welp, her kids are a huge part of her life (especially now that she’s a single mother) and she includes them in her work. It’s not her fault that Brad Pitt turned out to be a complete and utter disappointment to HER children.
The real question and concern should be why the heck hasn’t the judge and all those therapists granted him 50/50 custody. He’s a loser and abuser. That’s why.
Pretty sure the children are not ‘hers’ but theirs, jointly.
That is one of the weirdest distinctions to make. Children aren’t possessions. Don’t treat them as though they are.
That is so unhealthy to think of children as objects. It is gross.
And it is overdone. I don’t like children behaving as protectors or adjuncts to their parents. They are individual people who belong to no one. As parents were are their foundation and caregivers but we don’t own them, and they aren’t ours to do what we want with them.
We are given the responsibility as shepherds to do what is in their best interest so that they can go forth as honorable, capable members of society.
@magnoliarose, beautifully said.
I think she looks great, but the style of the waist looked bad.
She shouldn’t be bringing kids to so many red carpet events. It’s almost like they’re her security blanket and needs them with her all the time
@Beth
Or, it’s almost like they’re two teen boys who she adopted from war torn impoverished SE Asia who both worked on the film that she directed and deserved to be there with her.
Pretty sure a woman who regularly flies into the world’s hotspots by her lonesome with a carry on and a flak jacket doesn’t need a security blanket, but keep disempowering strong women…it’s a good look.
Her kids are old enough to make their own choices and when teens are forced to do something it generally shows. She likely knew in advance who she was sharing a table with and her son may have begged to come in order to meet Thor or Taika. At no point has it ever seemed like a sullen, grumpy teen has been dragged to Mom’s boring work function as a PR distraction.
to Dr. Mrs. The Monarch:
also notice Pax’s body language. he looks (IMO) happy and proud to be there. compare that with Tori Spelling’s kids who (almost) always look miserable when they’re on the red carpet.
PS – I’d “beg” to go to meet Thor, too. lol. that man is FINE.
“a woman who regularly flies into the world’s hotspots by her lonesome with a carry on and a flak jacket”
I don’t necessarily disagree with her choice to bring her son, but this is a whole lot of assumption and embellishment.
“war torn impoverished SE Asia”
-Vietnam has been out of major war for around 40 years and has been thriving as a rapidly growing economy for probably around 15 years or more, especially in the last 7 or 8 years. It’s one of the most promising up and coming economies in SEA.
Cambodian-Viet war ended about 10 years before Maddox was born. The white saviour theme is strong here. Poor (Cambodia), yes, but not war torn.
@Casey: I just about spit my coffee out at the description of Vietnam being “war torn and impoverished”. The Vietnam War ended almost 45 years ago. HCM (formerly Saigon) is a huge booming metropolis full of skyscrapers and rooftop bars that put Bangkok to shame. They have Starbucks, KFC, McDonalds, and a number of other international franchises. There are Vuitton, Chanel, Cartier, Hermes, Ralph Lauren, Versace, Breguet, DVF, Balenglencia, Louboutin boutiques, just to name a few, and that’s without going into a list of the mid-range labels. If you need your fix of skincare or makeup products, you can get virtually all of the big names you’d be familiar with be it US brands, European brands and a whole slew of high end Japanese and Korean brands that you’ve probably never heard of. The city is awash in money, there is 3 and 4G practically everywhere in the country and fiber optic infrastructure in virtually all of the larger towns and cities.
Stereotypes from 40 years ago are not the reality.
Celebrities bring their kids to red carpet events and award shows all the time. I don’t know why people act Angelina is the first and only to do something. It’s as if there’s a rule for her and another for everybody else. Besides why the assumption he’s forced to go. Maybe he wanted to.
No one is saying an occasional appearance by a celeb kid is a bad thing. But all the time? Since her separation, Angie has brought some combination of her kids to nearly every event she has attended. At some point you question whether it’s healthy for her to be leaning on them for this kind of support and IMO it’s very unprofessional.
Like who? Genuinely interested in what celebs have kids on the red carpet regularly?
No, they do not take their children to Awards shows unless it’s specifically a children’s event, nor do they typically attend premieres that are not for children’s movies.
The Globes are an adult event, with extremely limited seating. Same for The Oscars. The only children attending are the ones who are nominated. Literally, no one brings their kids as their dates until they are in the Golden Globes Ambassador program.
Exactly. How many times has Blue Ivy been to awards shows and she’s only 5.
@Bridget
Exactly.
It is far too much, and the GG is probably one of the most adult of all the televised awards events.
You can’t name a celebrity that brings their children to adult awards to this degree. Don’t pretend you can. You can’t. It isn’t appropriate, and it is another PR misstep.
Didn’t Angelina herself go to the Oscars with her dad once when she was a kid? People taking their teenage kids to the Globes/Emmys/Oscars doesn’t really seem that strange to me.
I think it’s mainly because she talks about them in interviews a lot and they even feature in her photoshoots. They’re a big part of her public persona; you can’t deny that.
Eh, Pax is a teenage young man…what is he? 15, 16, 17? It’s not as if she were bringing a preschooler who should be in bed at that time. Perhaps the older boys *want* to be there to support her? I can imagine my two almost 17 year old boys would.
She should have brought Z with her. I would have been a nice birthday present. Z turned 13 yesterday. My gawd, Angie has 3 teenagers in the house. No wonder she looks worn out.
Her son, Pax, is Cambodian. Her movie is based on a memoir of a child during the reign of the Khmer Rouge. It seems apropos that her son attend this event with her. Perhaps more so than most of the other children whom attend these kinds of events.
Often the level of scrutiny this woman endures for the most mundane things is disgusting. I could not handle it at all.
@Madame Pax is not Cambodian, Maddox is. Pax is Vietnamese
Maddox the oldest son is Cambodian.
Pax the second son is Vietnamese.
Children don’t attend these events. There aren’t other children to compare this to, aside from the ones that have been nominated and are representing their nominated Work.
He’s Vietnamese as others have said, so I fail to see what that has to do with the criticism.
I think she rightly gets a bit of criticism for making her kids, who should be individuals in themselves, such a big part of her public persona. Can’t think of any other celeb who does that to such a level. Jamie Foxx, for example, features his daughters a lot, but he’s not talking about them in every or every second interview.
I love having my son with me, so I see no shame in her spreading the love amongst all of her kids. She has several almost grown children, who probably enjoy a grown-up night out with their mom, and minus the siblings.
Liz Hurley is also seen out quite often with her son who is 15.
Yeah, I wonder if Liev Schreiber is too dependent on his sons, since he keeps taking them to award shows.
That was sarcastic, btw….
They are her family; she and Brad took them to big events frequently. I would think it was strange if she suddenly stopped taking the kids with her.
Liev doesn’t talk about his sons in his interviews though.
Ok, I am not even overly invested in this- I swear- but work and schools here closed early, so I decided to google celebs who have taken their kids to the globes and here’s what I found…
So just this year, Sharon Stone took her 17 year old son as her date.
Sylvester Stylone took his wife and daughters two years ago.
Anthony Anderson took his teenage kids last year.
Jamie Foxx took his daughter in 2013 (before she was Miss Golden Globes last year).
Will Smith took Trey in 2002.
The Rock brought his daughter in 2016 (before she was Miss Golden Globes this year).
Sosie Bacon went with her parents in 2007 (prior to being Miss Golden Globes).
Julia Louis Dreyfus brought her son in 2013.
Susan Sarandon brought her son in 2009.
Meryl brought her youngest daughter Louisa in 2007, when Louisa was still a teenager.
Jack Nicholson brought his youngest daughter in 2007 as well.
When Dakota Johnson was Miss Golden Globes, her little sister Stella attended that year as well.
Robin Williams brought Zelda in 2005.
Kevin Costner brought his kids in 2003.
Maybe her son wanted to go or bringing him gives her an excuse to leave early. Why do people always go to the most dramatic motivations where Jolie is concerned? Geez.
God she’s beautiful! And I’m so jelly she got to sit with Taika!!
Oh that face! I can state at it all day long. I’m envious of all the people on that table
The darker hair really suits her so much more than that light reddish/brown. it makes her eyes POP.
she looks so pretty.
I think darker suits her better, too.
I think perhaps the women should all have come dressed in black tie just like the men
I wonder how Elsa feels about a. not being there and b. Chris sitting next to La Jolie. 🙂
I was just thinking if Chris wasn’t married, he and AJ would look good together. I totally ship them.
To me, you can see it Chris’s face that he knows he’s unworthy to be sitting next to such utter perfection. She looks otherworldly.
Aren’t we shallow judging people on their looks when it says nothing about them as people? 😉
Spider it COULD be shallow, but you’re actually acknowledging that a person’s looks are no reflection of their merit as a person, so it’s fine. It’s wokeshallow. 😆
That is such a great idea, since men’s wear inspire tuxedos are fantastic as a whole on women.
Very sessy! 😉
I remember when Jolie wore one on the red carpet and she looks sexy as hell.
@Shambles haha, I thought he looked that way because he did not want Elsa to ask 1001 questions nor start an unnecessary rumour. But I swear if I sat next to Angie I wouldn’t be able to look at her directly 😁
I’ll bet she thinks that men can’t be stolen…and even if they could the woman doing the stealing usually has some major draw…sexy, naughty, free from responsibilities, up for fun, ….you know a change from a relationship that may have grown a little stale, or has too many responsibilities encumbering it..the usual excuses..Elsa Pataky ain’t worried ladies cause Angelina Jolie does not fit the bill in any of the above categories anymore.
Sorry but I think she looks like Big Bird in mourning.
you nailed it.
Haha, “big bird in mourning” perfectly describes La Jolie’s style. And I’m not even hating it, she still looks weirdly glamorous, the question is just HOW??? Share your secrets with a granny style loving sister! I need to know.
Are those sleeves wings? Like a dark angel? I think that’s glorious and appropriate.
The late Elizabeth Taylor vibe… kaftans all the way…
. Looks like Sofia Loren worn it in 1960
I dislike feathers and maribou, but that’s a bit harsh, lol.
Feather duster in mourning? It’s not awful, it fits too I guezzzzzz…Zzz zzz…huh? Wha?
Good one! I was going to go with Morticia and Endora love child.
OMG, Endora! I’ve had a niggling thought of “what does this remind me of?”, you nailed it! It’s been bugging me that it wouldn’t come, thank you!
I love the gown. It think she looks like a wax figure of herself. Not a healthy woman.
And to imply someone feels unworthy to sit next to her cause she is “perfection”? That is disturbing.
She was gorgeous and I think she bought Pax because maybe he wanted to come. Plus someone had to wear that darn pin. Lol
I see nothing wrong with that because Pax seems to be the one who is most protective of her. Her kids don’t always go with her to red carpet events.
There were very few of not one more beautiful than Jolie in that room. Catherine ZJ is one but wa off putting with her dress. Anyways it was so nice to see her on the red carpet. Too bad she wasn’t allowed to completely enjoy the moment because of the dust up off trying to make a deal about a run in with Aniston. I know she has to be sick of the BS. I also believe that was a thorn in their marriage. It takes about his before and when I heard her interview with the HR about people thinking BTS was about this and etc made a believer out of me. People were saying she was picking at Aniston. A bunch of sick idiots.
Well back on topic. People can only comment on her looks by saying she is too thin or sick looking but she is the most beautiful of them all.
There is all kinds of wrong in thinking that a 14 year old child should even feel the need to “protect” his 42 year old mother at an awards show where she’s up for an award and has been asked to present another to a room full of her peers.
Lots of single women come to these things alone. Lots of divorced women too. Lots of nominees don’t win. This isn’t even the first, second or probably 10th time she and Aniston have been in the same room (with 1400 other people no less). None of them need to bring along a 14 year old child to “protect them” from the realities of a HW Awards show. I don’t understand your comment at all. You make it sound like she’s teetering on the brink.
thank you.. I don’t get any of this. Angelina has been in the business for 20 years or so. And she has been divorced before. Goodness.
having an alcoholic father who was probably angry most of the time made ALL of the kids protective of her. You can see it in Shiloh too when they are out and about together. It’s a natural thing to want to protect your one loving parent.
It’s funny that Brad Pitt can admit to never BEING SOBER in his children’s upbringing but you question why her kids are protective of her. HELLO!
@I am bored, I grew up with an alcoholic father who got angry sometimes, but my sister and I never felt like we always needed to be at our mothers side protecting her. My mother actually made sure that we lived our lives and didn’t let us think we needed to protect her. Just because someone has the disease of alcohol addiction doesn’t mean they aren’t a loving parent and shouldn’t be loved by their children.
It’s funny when some people ignore the fact that Brad has been an alcoholic since he was in his early 20s and I’m sure Angie wasn’t unaware of it. HELLO! Angie managed to get her heroin addiction under control (remember that? ) and hopefully Brad does the same with his alcoholism.
My father who was once a heavy drinker is now SOBER, but fading quickly from dementia, and I’m a loving daughter who’s doing everything I can do to help both of my loving parents through this tough time
Something the Jolie-Pitt kids might be upset about is hearing people say that the kids don’t love their father or that only their mother loves them
Well, Beth. That’s YOU and YOUR experience. In my own experience yes I do feel the need to protect my mom. Not because she asks or even wants me to but because it’s how I feel.
Angelina has talked about how she deals with her kids and how she feels the need to put on a brave front for her kids because she doesn’t want them to see her when she’s down. But SOME kids naturally want to protect. You were just not one of those kids for your mom. No big deal. Plus, we do not know what these kids have seen in the privacy of their own home between their parents. Was it something scary where they had to defend one parent over the other because one parent is overly aggressive? Hmmmm
You’re right some alcoholics can be decent parents WHEN SOBER. the question you Pitt fans can NEVER answer (without somehow blaming Angelina Jolie ) is why the hell is it taking so long for him to get 50/50 custody?
According to his TEAM that’s what he wants. So if you believe his team you have to believe he’s fighting for custody but a judge and a LOAD of therapists are saying NO! Why? Why do they not think he should have custody? ?????????You believe that or you have to believe ehe DOESNT REALLY WANT 50/50… In that case his fans should move on with him . Why are you Pitt fans so concerned with Angelina and what she’s doing? I could’nt care less about Pitt. You won’t find me in his threads. Trust and believe. I’m happy she dumped his Sorry a++.
Alcoholism is a diease. Not a flaw, not something we should be condemning anyone for. The way some people talk about it is as if it’s something that Brad or really any alcholic can just snap out of. If he’s recovering then I see no reason to keep picking at him for having a diease that millions of people have.
Stop littering Angie’s thread with all the Brad stuff.
@i am bored, I’ve never really been a Pitt fan, but the things you seem to know about their family and the divorce makes it sound like you personally know them. Nobody but them would know if they were ever scared, if they were ever abused, or if they truly feel like they need to protect their mother. I don’t know what therapists are saying about custody, so how do you?
Divorces aren’t usually done overnight, and important thing like custody take a while to sort out.
What’s with using ALL CAPS and multiple ?????!!!!!! That makes it look like you’re VERY angry. I hope the Jolie-Pitts aren’t as miserable as some think they are,because they deserve to be happy just like all kids.
I am bored is projecting onto this family.
It isn’t a child’s job to protect a grown woman. Women aren’t delicate hothouse flowers that are fragile on the verge of collapsing from the vapors.
You are obsessed with casting BP in a way with no base in truth. None.
We aren’t even talking about him, and you bring him up.
Beth, i was a brange fan and pay attention to stuff. We know he still does not have custody and only visitation because that’s what his team says. He visits them. That’s it. If you don’t know or don’t do the research don’t comment.
Magno, there is obviously a reason her children feel protective of her as I said above. It sucks for Pitt fans like you who thought he would have joint custody by now. Still only visitation. Such a shame.
@I am bored: I’m going to leave aside your assumption that Pitt being an angry drunk was an ongoing, long term issue, complete with the implied “Jolie cowering in a corner in fear” image, because I personally think she’d have booted him long ago if that was the case.
But… here we have a HW Awards show. Thrown by the a bunch of people who write in the press about Hollywood. Attended by her peers. Someone above implied that Pax went because he was “protective of her”. I’m kind of failing to see exactly what she might have been needing to be protected from by a 14 year old. Jennifer Aniston launching a flying tackle from the stage? Pitt showing up and making a scene on national television, in front of 1400 of his peers and the HW press? There is an image being crafted here of Jolie, turning her into some sort of fragile soap bubble persona who will pop at the slightest puff of wind, with her children huddled around her like some sort of protective windbreak. It’s very strange and doesn’t really fit with who this woman is and what she’s been doing with her life for the past couple of decades.
Sure, there are times in everyone’s life that are more difficult than others. Everyone understands that. However this narrative seems to imply that she’s one misplaced comment or one dirty look away from collapsing into a blubbering pile of nervous breakdown. And it seems to be coming from her staunchest fans, which is doubly strange.
+1. Sharon Stone brought her son as her +1 and nobody cares.
true. But no one is saying he was there to “protect her”
Yeah, and nor is Angelina. She never said or indicated that her son was there to “protect” her. That is complete conjecture by commenters here, which is totally fine, but that’s not on Angelina.
I think because it was a one-off as opposed to what seems to be new standard operating procedure. But yeah, the protection part is just conjecture.
Yes and they also posed like they were going to prom, which was kind of adorable.
Lot’s of celebs have taken their teenage kids to these things. People can criticize Angelina all they want, but there’s no need to rewrite history guys. If you wanna say she’s taken them to too many events for this film, fine, but don’t make up a total lie that no one takes their teenagers to the Golden Globes.
She looked absolutely stunning & I actually feel these pictures aren’t doing her justice,on video she looked breathtakingly beautiful & whilst presenting.
Her face is so divine. I don’t like the sleeve of the dress.
Side note, how handsome and grown up is Pax?!?
Right!!!!! he is a snack!!!! I feel for the hearts that are going to be heartbroken by him… Love this Family!.
He’s 14 years old!
Dude……. no.
So cute!!!!
Well that’s creepy AF… he’s a child still..
Angelina is beautiful. She looked beautiful last night. But I wasn’t crazy about what she was wearing. It just feels forgettable. Pax is handsome.
It was interesting that they showed so little of her during the show. Not many pics of her at all. And not many of her talking to other celebrities. She didn’t look like she was having much fun at the event at all.
No, she didn’t. And even the cutaway to her during Oprah’s amazing speech she just seemed stonefaced.
Yes, I noticed that too. Everyone in the audience was so RIGHT ON with Oprah’s speech and then the cutaway to Angelina – who looked like a combination of bored and pissed off.
Cuz she’s so unpopular there?
I don’t think it’s because she was unpopular there the Variety executive editor who was in attendance tweeted Jolie’s table was swarmed by people coming by with well wishes.
I noticed that, too. It was an odd catch of a moment. Had no idea she was sitting with Chris Hemsworth. As he was being interviewed on the Red Carpet, I kept thinking how much he resembles Brad Pitt.
No to that dress. YES to Taika in anything
She needs some powder and blush. I think she always seems to need this.
Team Jen
Team Heidi aka Justins ex.
Seriously?
Same dead horse beating in a thread a couple of days ago. Ridiculous.
yeah, totally, eh? that old dead dead horse “team blah blah blah”. totes. ridiculous. umpteen threads of the same immature nonsense. thanks for calling it out, ladies.
Big ol eye roll.
Plus all the comments on here attacking Laura Dern and Oprah to defend Angelina are also terrible.
lol right? It’s been like 20 years right?? GOD.
Still can’t get over it huh?
I’m glad she didn’t win best foreign language film – or better said her movie didn’t win. It didn’t deserve it, plus she is American and cannot even speak Cambodian
The movie and Cambodian people won by being nominated. Angelina won by being the only female director in the category.
Lol.
She has multiple accolades already for the film hun. Plus there were many others that were deserving of an award but didn’t win. Some have won in the past and didn’t deserve it. It’s just a statue.
I don’t think she will die from not winning a statue or even think about it after last night.
Even more reason to be happy that she wasn’t awarded for her and her kids’ “contribution” to the film.
She looks absolutely fabulous and there was a very cute video of her and Frances smiling and hugging. They have known each other since BBT days.
I liked the high 5. That was cute.
How do you know they have been friends for years?
You seem overly obsessed with Angie and claim to know who all her friends are and everything about her personal life.
Do you know her personally?
Maya said they’ve known each other since the bbt days. Not that they are best friends. 😂
It’s not hard to google. So many of you act like information about celebs is so hard to find and wonder why some fans know certain FACTS, but y’all are quick to comment.
Boring
Her make up looks lovely, but I don’t like the dress. It feels very dated to me, and not in a cool vintage way.
I’m surprise she didn’t bring an activist as her guest.
She IS an activist..
She is, but why would that stop her from bringing someone else who is as well? Others activist/actresses did.
Certainly no one has to, it’s no big deal, I was just a little surprised that someone as involved with different causes as she is didn’t take that opportunity too.
Emma Watson is also an activist, that didn’t stop her. Who knows how this was all worked out, but specifically with the Time’s Up activism group is my guess. Jolie moves in different circles.
If she brings one, some people would still be unhappy with her lol
Angie wouldn’t want to take the attention off the #1 greatest humanitarian of all time…her. Lol
Angelina has a gorgeous face, but always looks tired and frail to me. I love the dress–very dramatic and flattering.
If you have kids, you know how tired you can be. And that doesn’t change as they grow up.
I look at pictures of myself before kids, and I looked so rested!
She did have a pretty rough 2017. My mother dropped twenty pounds and even greyed out a little in the year following my parents divorce. It’s not an easy situation, particularly when a partner has issues with addiction and many children are involved.
God, she gets creepier and creepier looking the older she gets.
This. Thank you. It’s just a sack dress with feathers.
Wow, @layla and @jeezelousie, how “nice” of you. She’s been to hell and back and survived it. She’s talented and accomplished and she’s fighting for good causes. And those comments there that’s all you can say about her. How sad.
As an Angie fan, I’m disappointed with this look. My (rubbish) conspiracy theory is that she dials down the sexy to be seen as a more credible director. This looks like a dowdy nightie. Also, if I’m in charge of seatings I would let her sit next to a single guy just for gossip fun!
My theory is that there has been some really “short notice” when it comes to this whole black outfit thing. From what I know “awards looks” take months and months of preparation. So in this case, maybe there were not that many options considering this limited time frame.
I just saw some pictures, but this is a picture of AJ doing all she could to not look at Jennifer Aniston. but she looks empty and depressed in her eyes.
Give it a rest, it’s been 13 years.
As Carol Burnett demonstrated with her fierce shade, no one cares about Aniston.
Angelina doesn’t wish her ill, I just think she doesn’t care or think about her.
The bitter betties have said this for years, but all of a sudden now you want Angelina thinking about her. Oh ok. Lol
You realize that all of the presentation banter is scripted and rehearsed, right? It was a joke.
Kelly sometimes never a truer word said in jest. Many jokes are based on at least some truth. That is how they work.
Lol you clearly want to believe that don’t you? I would say it was the other way around since Angelina isn’t the one doing everything she could to avoid her for the last 10 years.
Well, I LOVE the dress. All of it! I would swan around in that with a turban on my head and a gin and tonic in my hand all day every day.
Yessss. And bright red lipstick. Imitating Morticia Addams’ posture. Because the full Sunset Boulevard is the only way to wear that dress.
I thought sad Black Swan when I saw her in this dress, mainly because she looks so wan. I hope she can bounce back. Remember when she was badass and had verve? She seems to have so little energy these days. I hope her stress will lessen as all adjust to the new normal, and she can rediscover her old self (the good parts, not the self-destructive parts).
I am up for that.
I loathe this look. My aunt wears her hair that way as her daily casual go to lunch style and she is in her 80s. It is too aging. And the dress is Phyllis Dillarery.
What happened to this Angie:

*weeps with despair*
She looks so sad.
I agree. Remember the attention she and Brad would get at these awards. They would be laughing, holding hands, etc. The leg moment. Last night she was just there.
She looked beautiful but hated the dress.
Don’t know where her film career will be headed. She will now be part of the 40 year+ actresses. Her directing has mixed reviews. Her recent conservative dressing leads me to believe politics.
Geez, ease up on the misogyny and calm down @karen
Angelina is not quite over yet, you may have several more years of having to put up with that beautiful face and accomplished life in front of and behind the camera…sorry.
I personally didn’t think she and Brad ever were giddy to go the these things, in fact Angelina’s on record as calling them silly. I definitely think it’s probably more of a chore when you can’t also make it a hot date night, but I still think being one of the only female directors whose film was lauded in the room, and having both of her films that she was responsible for nominated had to be gratifying.
I don’t know why people are always keen to tear Angelina down despite her iconic rep and accomplishments or why they love counting her down and out even at the precise moments where she’s being hailed and giving accolades by enjoying not one, but two more golden globe nods in 2018. She’s been nom’d 20x!
Maybe they just secretly love getting their faces rubbed in it by Angelina time and time again. Lol
She looks like a totally different person when she was with Brad. Remember the gorgeous green dress?

Granted she has had her surgeries. My friend has had the same 2 surgeries and she looks the same. I had cancer and chemo a few years ago and I look as good as new. She takes poor care of herself/does not eat properly.
Jennifer Garner is getting divorced and she looks better then ever.
She ran herself down campaigning for this film.
I don’t see any upcoming films except Maleficent 2-thus the comment she may have difficulty getting roles. She is not an Indie actress. She is not a comedic actress. She is not the best dramatic actress. I don’t see any kind of niche for her acting abilities.
So what kind of actress do you think she Is?
She can get roles if she wants them. She’s talented and still has the star power. I just don’t think she wants them right now. She’s signed on to malificent and the animated film for Disney. The first of which will probably keep her busy for a while. Her career will be fine. It’s an active decision if her to slow down a bit. Nothing wrong with it.
Wow @karen again you’re all over the place.
Her surgeries are a few years in the past, came through with flying colors – they were elective as she didn’t have cancer, just the markers that foretold her mortality may have been threatened had she not had the procedures. Her friends and colleagues all say she has the stamina of an elephant and was doing field missions a week after her first procedure.
So for you to speculate on her health and imply she doesn’t eat well and is in poor health when she’s done everything she can to insure her own longevity for her children and loved ones (and has continued to overachieve and accomplish great things professionally and on the humanitarian front) is an especially cruel misogynistic taunt and lie. Just stop.
Again, Angelina has discussed acting. She essentially said it served it’s purpose for her a long time ago and she doesn’t really enjoy it. By that she meant dramatic torturous acting. Now you can choose to disregard her words and thoughts and choices – and pretend she’s not the captain of her ship, that she’s being steered and directed in her own life choices by the powers that be, but that’s disempowering and insulting.
Which it seems you enjoy being.
I get it. You like taking strong women and fixing them up, predicting failure and humiliation- but most of all for beautiful women I find other misogynist women really like anticipating their greatest downfall…when they are no longer wanted. It’s a recurring theme in some posts and is as obvious as an elephant in polka dot panties.
It’s also depressing because it makes me see clear as a bell how women undermine each other, how some of us need to.
If you need to pretend the woman with the closetfull of acting hardware and nominations since she was 19, has “limited acting abilities” that people can’t get around (despite having heard that Jlaw and Sandra Bullock get HER cast offs) then you knock yourself out if it makes you feel better about yourself and certain tv sitcom ensemble players. Lol Angelina has HER Oscars dear.
I don’t like her dress at all but her face is flawless, as always. Wow.
these pics have kinda made my day. i LOVE that face, and the black/ vaguely sack/ 70s vibe is so HER, and so à propos of the moment , w/ the blackout thing- not even a stretch for her <3 i just love her, and love it when she brings the glamour to awards events. the marabou is fun.
Elsa Pataky, you in danger girl.
No, she isn’t, but it made me laugh.
I highly doubt AJ would go for someone like him. He is a supreme cheater and an ego monster. HE would love the attention but he is so far beneath her I can’t imagine it as a thought.
ooh, never knew he was a cheater. I believe it though, he does kinda give off those vibes.
Lol Chris is definitely not a cheater, and I have read nothing to say he is. If he is, links to evidence please.
There are a LOT of rumours about his infidelity floating around. I don’t think there is hardcore evidence – if there were, I don’t think they would be just rumours, but more public headlines. However, a lot of rumours stem from some version of truth.
Tsk tsk, magno attacking Chris hemsworth and projecting a little too much.
I hate the dress. The feather boa looks like something that should be worn by someone 20 years older.
I guess I’m in the minority, I hate her dress. It looks like something Mrs. Roper would wear in a dream sequence.
Mrs. Roper! Yes! I kept thinking Golden Girls but that wasn’t right.
Yes, dress is nightgown-ish, but the face is perfection!
I thought more Endora from Bewitched.
Mrs. Roper was exactly what I thought when I saw it. I’m not a fan of this dress!
I don’t know who’s this guy named Taika, but he knows how to strike a pose, wow. He looks so charming and genuine, specially close to these two gorgeous, but contrived faces.
And oh, I LOVE her dress. I love see-through sleeves.
He’s a really talented actor/director, and fully edible. Sorry not sorry!
Lol. I’m gonna check his work, thanks 🙂
Lately, he’s best known for directing Thor: Ragnarok.
He co-wrote, directed, and starred in What We Do in the Shadows and it is hysterical! It’s on amazon prime with some of his other movies.
He has some on Hulu and Netflix as well and he directed a couple episodes of Flight of the Conchords too.
Not reading the drama here. Hated that dress at first look but it grew on me. She looks fabulous indeed! She is aging gracefully – still very beautiful.
I think she needs a new stylist and she looked completely disinterested in being there or presenting. But hey, that’s OK.
I’m not a particularly ardent fan of Angelina Jolie, but, oh my god… she looks absolutely amazing. That dress is exquisite. Going on my top 10 best LBD’s of all time. All of her looks stunning, hair, make up. She is positively radiant.
She looked amazing and was seated at a great table. That is all.
Hopefully, this year she changes it up and brings back some of her badass. It seems like the divorce has been draining, but I understand that. 2017 was a terrible year for many so if that is what she is feeling; she isn’t alone.
I still like her, just not her PR moves or fashion recently. She has made some mistakes, but that is only a hard part of living. We move on and do better, and I hope she finds her footing again.
Thanks for an actual reasonable comment.
Yes to this! I miss the fun, sexy and bad ass Jolie pre Brad and all these kids. You know, the one who used to fly planes and ride motorcycles for photo shoots. She used to dress up nicely and she could wear a tank top and jeans and she just oozes with sex appeal. But Brad and her gabajillion kids just sucked and drained the life and fun out of her. I’m glad she ditched him though. Hopefully she can bounce back – to her old, fun, cool, bad ass and not so serious self.
Maybe she can try to do drama series for tv like she used to where she won a couple of GG acting awards for it back in the day.
Hi @Sunny
I think you’re describing growing up and having more responsibilities- none of us know Angelina, there’s all kinds of empirical evidence that she’s just as fun and badazz at home since becoming a Mom. In fact her kids made her more fun according to her, Depp says her sense of humor. Is delicious and wicked and she was a mom of six when she worked with him. So I’m poo pooing your theory. Maybe Brad’s lifelong drinking and addictions sucked the fun out most recently, but that was only temporary. Her kids and she seem to be having a blast.
By the way, Angelina can’t bother with hypothetical teevee drama ala Reese, when she rakes in 20 mil per film, she starts shooting the Maleficent sequel this April in London.
She was qith Brad and had children when she dis these photoshoots. I think this style is more for the sake of her career and the level of her philantropic side.
@Casey
I’m pretty sure she was already mature and responsible the moment she adopted her Cambodian son. That was her best years. She was fun, flirty, didn’t take herself seriously and was a good mother. Her philanthropic life was going on the right direction back then too. Then she got with Brad and she started to change – dressing like she’s in mourning and too matronly, she stopped doing late night interviews or daytime show like Ellen (which used to be a place where she get to show people how fun and cool she was / she was a little relatable back then) and she took herself seriously. Like she’s above everyone else when she’s not. Then she became boring and out of reach. Even her photo shoots became boring (except for that new Africa cover). Although she is still very much has a beautiful face, she has been looking sad or empty or tired lately.
And why look down on tv drama series? She used to do it before, and she used to be good at it – actually winning acting awards. People tend to forget she used to be an award winning actress both movie and tv because the last time she won an award was when? Over 2 decades ago? Sure, Maleficent pays her millions of dollars but that’s it? Wouldn’t you as a fan prefer for her to get recognized again for a being a good actress and not just someone who’ll do a film even if it sucks just for the money? I’m sure Maleficent will do just fine in BO but what’s next? She is getting older and not many roles are being offered for actresses her age. Like I said, people and critics have already forgotten about how she was once an award winning actress, so she’s not in same league anymore as Blanchett, Winslet, Lawrence, Chastain and all these actresses now who keeps getting roles despite their age (Blanchett/Winslet) and keeps improving their acting skills which is really sad on her part. I actually want her to become a good actress again and a tv drama series for her is not a bad start. And she needs to lighten up, have fun and don’t take herself too seriously.
Nice, balanced comment.
The town is lovely but I think it is aging on Angelina.
I really like her makeup here. I’ve never been a fan of a bold or bright lip color on her for some reason.
And I like the dress, I think it’d be fun to wear!
She slayed in this dress.
Loved her dress, elegant and classy much like herself. But her hair was so boring! I wish she had done something nice with it, even a diamante hair clip or something.
I don’t love it but I like it a lot. She needed a bolder lip but still, she remains one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen.
Terrible
Whats the show with the lady that has the fancy robe on and the fuzzy shoes and carries around the little dog?
I guess I must not be high fashion because thats what this dress reminds me of, and I think if anyone else were wearing it would be a rag.
The dress looks like something Endora from Bewitched would wear…and while her face is beautiful, she would really look so much better with 10 or 15 lbs on her, she looks too frail.
I’m sorry. I see Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford in Feud.

This thread was amusing to read.
Anyhow, her face is botoxed to perfection. She looked great on stage!
Angelina Jolie’s gown looks like a glam night gown from Fredericks of Hollywood. No, just no.
Angelina is absolutely gorgeous. What a classy lady.
All i have to say is that if i were sitting at the “sexy table”…i’d feel like an ogre, lol.
