Angelina Jolie’s plan after Oscar snub — Why she is getting closer to Hollywood's elite

Angelina Jolie has long kept her family away from the Hollywood spotlight, but it looks like the Maleficent star is now building stronger ties within the industry.

A source told Daily Mail that the Oscar-winning actress is embracing friendships with Hollywood powerhouses like Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, and Salma Hayek.

“Angelina knows what she is doing, it’s on purpose. She is reaching out in the Hollywood community to make new friends. And she loves it!” the source revealed.

“She likes making new female friends, and she has tremendous respect for her famous pals. It’s a good thing.”

The insider also hinted that Salma Hayek might be the one who encouraged Jolie to step out more.

“Salma is very smart, I would not be surprised if she was the one who told Angelina to get out there more and network.”

Despite being snubbed by the Oscars this year, the source said Jolie is anything but sulking.

“She’s not sitting at home pouting. She’s hitting every event and staying professional.”

This shift comes as Jolie’s children remain uninterested in Hollywood fame, with the actress ensuring they maintain their privacy.
