According to insider reports, Sandra Bullock is allegedly siding with Brad Pitt to prevent Angelina Jolie from securing an Oscar nomination for her upcoming film Maria.
The rumoured behind-the-scenes drama suggests that Bullock is not only vying for her own Academy Award but also working to hinder Jolie’s chances of receiving recognition.
Tensions between Bullock and Jolie reportedly date back several years, stemming from a rivalry over roles in major films. One such project, the 2013 sci-fi blockbuster Gravity, fuelled this ongoing competition. Sources indicate that Jolie was initially interested in the lead role, but Bullock ultimately landed the part.
An insider recently told In Touch Weekly, “Sandra definitely has a history with Angie. There are people in Angie’s camp who believe the role in Gravity should have gone to her since she was originally keen on starring in it before Sandra stepped in.”
The rivalry didn’t stop there. Since Jolie’s breakup with Brad Pitt, Bullock has strengthened her bond with Pitt through their work together on films like The Lost City and Bullet Train. This connection has reportedly deepened Bullock’s stance in this Hollywood power struggle.
To add more intrigue to the situation, Jennifer Aniston has allegedly become involved. Known for her own past feud with Jolie over her marriage to Brad Pitt, Aniston is rumoured to be discouraging Jolie’s Oscar campaign. The same insider claimed that Aniston and Bullock have teamed up to thwart Jolie’s chances in the upcoming awards season.
“Sandra’s loyalty is clear,” the insider added, emphasising Bullock’s close friendship with Aniston. This alliance is said to tie both actresses into a powerful network of award voters, similar to the one that helped Andrea Riseborough secure an unexpected Oscar nomination.
As the awards season heats up, the competition between these Hollywood powerhouses is poised to bring more drama to the spotlight.
