Winning an Oscar is one of the most significant achievements for anyone in the film industry. Actors dream of it and many directors make films with the prestigious award in mind. Like many things, however, the golden statue means the world to some and is insignificant to many. While some spend their entire lives looking forward to the day that they might win this trophy, many do win but do not hold much sentimentality to them.

Many actors have won the award but no longer have the trophy in their possession. Then there are those who simply lost it. It would seem that it is quite common for celebrities to not know the whereabouts of their Oscars after winning them.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, published online Tuesday, the Maleficent star said she may have considered acting on the stage but not Hollywood.

Over the weekend, actor Jon Voight posted a video to Instagram where he ridiculed his daughter, Angelina Jolie, for her views on the Israel-Hamas war.
On October 28, Jolie, 48, posted a statement to Instagram where she spoke in support of Palestinian civilians.
Jolie wrote, “What happened in Israel is an act of terror. But that cannot justify the innocent lives lost in bombing a civilian population in Gaza that has nowhere to go, no access to food or water, no possibility of evacuation, and not even the basic human right to cross a border or seek refuge.”
Jolie strongly condemned the Israeli Defense Force’s response to the surprise Hamas attack on October 7. Formerly a special envoy of the Un High Commission for Refugees, Jolie accused Israel of “deliberately bombing children, women, families, deprived of food, medicine and humanitarian aid” in violation of international law.

Oscar-winning actress, professional model, daughter of Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight, and listed on countless “most beautiful women” lists, Angelina Jolie trained and performed at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute following her mother Marcheline Bertrand, who had studied with Lee Strasberg directly. A mother to six children and a natural beauty both inside and out, she needs no introduction as a humanitarian spokesperson.
Jolie first became personally aware of worldwide humanitarian crises while filming Tomb Raider in Cambodia. She eventually turned to The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (Unhcr), the agency mandated to lead and co-ordinate international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide, for more information on international trouble spots.
Since 2001, Jolie has been on field missions around the world and met with refugees and internally displaced persons in more than 20 countries, including Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Cambodia, Pakistan, Thailand, Ecuador, Kosovo, Kenya, Namibia,...

Angelina Jolie might be one of the most famous actors in the world, but some of her younger fans might not know that the star is actually a nepo baby. The 48-year-old activist's dad is actor Jon Voight, 84, and her mom was the actor Marcheline Bertrand, who died in 2007 at 56. Jolie's parents were married from 1971 to 1980 and also welcomed her brother, James Haven. They separated when Jolie was 1.
After Voight and Bertrand split, Jolie and Haven lived primarily with their mom, who raised both kids in both New York and California. Though Jolie was close with her mom, she has had a more tense and difficult relationship with her dad, and there have been times when she and Voight have been publicly estranged.
"I grew up with my mom and my brother. [My father] was around occasionally for holidays or birthdays, and we had bits of time," Jolie told The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2003 of their relationship.

Acting was never Angelina Jolie's end goal. As the daughter of Marcheline Bertrand and Jon Voight, the now 43-year-old movie star made her onscreen debut at age 7, opposite her father in the 1982 comedy Lookin' to Get Out. Eleven years later, Jolie landed her first leading role in the direct-to-video sci-fi flick Cyborg 2. Film roles in Hackers and Love Is All There Is followed, but her big break came in 1997 when she earned an Emmy nomination for her supporting role in George Wallace.

Angelina Jolie opened up about her decision to share details of her preventative cancer treatment.
The mother-of-six who had a double mastectomy in 2013 and her ovaries removed in 2015, spoke about her health battle during a guest editor slot on BBC Radio 4 show Woman's Hour where she also discussed women's health and the plight of refugees.
In 2013, the actress revealed in an opinion piece for the New York Times she had an 87 per cent risk of breast cancer and a 50 per cent risk of ovarian cancer because she carried the “faulty” gene, BRCA1.
When asked why she went public about her cancer treatment, Angelina explained: “When you go through something and you learn about yourself and your body and anything medical you feel, it really wasn’t a decision. It was just that I thought that I had gained information that I wish my mother had have known and I wish she had the option.

Angelina Jolie isn't one to take all the credit. The writer, director and star of Universal Pictures' upcoming movie By the Sea received the WSJ. Magazine Innovator Award for Entertainment and Film in New York City Thursday, and rather than focus on her own accomplishments, she found a way to honor her late mother, actress and producer Marcheline Bertrand, in addition to her six children with Brad Pitt, her husband of just over a year. E! News has the exclusive footage of Jolie accepting her award. "When I was little, my mom used to say to me, 'Let me see your soul. When I was angry or sad or trying to express something that mattered, she would hold me and she would look me in the eyes and...

Unlike some stars, Angelina Jolie doesn't mind tabloid attention. In fact, the star of Universal Pictures' By the Sea tells WSJ. Magazine's Innovators Issue, "You just have to look at whether or not you can still be effective with what you want to do. And if anything gets in the way of that, then you have a problem. But I don't." That's not to say she enjoys it, either. Long before she made a name for herself in Hollywood, Jolie was accustomed to life in the limelight. The daughter of actors Jon Voight and the late Marcheline Bertrand, Jolie followed in her parents' footsteps when she made her onscreen debut alongside her father in the 1982 comedy Lookin' to Get Out.

After watching the chilly, violent, lushly filmed trailer for "By the Sea," the new movie starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie-Pitt (which she also directed and wrote), I wondered what the film's intentions were. The trailer featured little dialogue and even less narrative clarity. Fortunately, the married stars just proved in a "Today Show" interview with Tom Brokaw that they remain pointed and focused as celebrities who know how to be, above all else, intriguing and relevant. Here's what we gathered about the superstars and their new movie from their sit-down with the legendary anchor. 1. They swear they don't relate to "By the Sea" at all. Every preview for "By the Sea" looks like a cross between the most serious De Beers commercial of all time and "Boom!", that weird Richard Burton/Elizabeth Taylor melodrama set on a secluded isle. Since it's apparently about a tattered marriage, Jolie-Pitt understandably...

It’s been a banner year for Angelina Jolie with a successful career, brand new marriage and some adorable kiddos, and the “Changeling” actress credits her offspring for helping her feel close to her own deceased mother.
Jolie told Marie Claire France that her mom Marcheline Bertrand “was very soft but could move mountains for her kids.That's something I always admire in women: that mix of softness and strength. She was half Indian, and I remember that as a small girl, she took me to a dinner for Amnesty International."
"She always tried to understand the complexity of the world. She had a great heart which was sensitive to the world's violence,” Angelina added of Bertrand, who passed away in 2007 from ovarian cancer.
As for whether or not she believes in life after death, Jolie noted, "I'm not certain ... I feel in contact with my mother when I look at my children.

While they’ve had a very non-conventional approach to family expansion, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie couldn’t help but go traditional for their big wedding day.
The “Changeling” actress and her “True Romance” hubby incorporated something old (the ceremony was held at the ancient stone chapel at their Chateau Miraval estate), something new (their vows, penned by their six children), something borrowed (Angelina wore a flower ring that belonged to her late mother Marcheline Bertrand and something blue (Jolie’s veil had blue details created by the kids and reproduced by Atelier Versace master tailor Luigi Massi).
Jolie also kept things very regimented ahead of the ceremony- "Brad didn't see the dress until the moment of the wedding.”
Angelina and Brad even trusted their kids with coming up with their vows. "The children wrote vows and asked us to make promises to each other. It was very sweet what they came up with.

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue? When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie quietly tied the knot on Aug. 23, those time-honored elements all made appearances in one way or another. "Old" was more than covered by the ancient stone chapel at Château Miraval, the family's estate in Correns, France. Other "old" touches: The 20 assembled guests hummed the traditional processional tune "Here Comes the Bride" as Jolie made her entrance - and the groom didn't get his first glimpse of Jolie's one-of-a-kind wedding gown until she walked down the aisle on the arms of eldest sons Maddox, 13, and Pax,...
