"Unbroken" may only be the second film Angelina Jolie has ever directed, but she set the bar ridiculously high for herself and was therefore expecting to be acknowledged. If you told us even a year ago that this film would be overlooked, even at the Golden Globes, while Jennifer Aniston scored a nomination instead it would have been unimaginable. Yet that is what has happened and it has reportedly left Jolie reeling. Even though this past year was loaded with personal highlights, such as her marriage to Brad Pitt, Jolie is still a workaholic who expects to do well enough to rack up award nominations. According to a report by Page Six, she is upset she and "Unbroken" were overlooked. Sources close to the voting system claim that if it was a few years ago, her star power would have been enough to get a nod or two from the foreign press. This year has been packed with great projects, and the press felt that, comparatively, "Unbroken" was not good enough. Not measuring up is unfamiliar territory for Jolie, so no wonder she is upset by the snub. She does still have a chance to grab an Oscar nomination, though. Those will be announced Thursday morning, Jan. 15, and Jolie is likely looking for some validation that her work is worthy of the Academy's acknowledgment this year.
