Angelina Jolie is set to receive the Performer Tribute at the 2024 Gotham Awards.
The event will take place Dec. 2 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. The Gotham Film & Media Institute said the Oscar winner will be honored for performance as the legendary, but troubled, opera singer Maria Callas in Pablo Larrain’s upcoming film Maria.
“Like the legendary figure she portrays, Angelina Jolie transcends mere performance to craft something extraordinary. Her interpretation captures both Maria Callas’ complexity as an artist and the cultural resonance that defines an icon,” The Gotham executive director Jeffrey Sharp said in a statement.
Maria has already done a tour of the Venice, Telluride and New York film festivals. The biopic explores the final days of Maria Callas in 1970s Paris, as she fights to get back the iconic voice she has lost.

The final days, hours, and minutes in the life of Greek opera singer Maria Callas are reimagined to vivid effect in Pablo Larraín’s latest biopic in miniature, “Maria.” As the third and last film in his trilogy of doomed historical women, following “Jackie” and “Spencer,” “Maria” stars Angelina Jolie in the title role. It’s one that demanded seven months of training in the art of opera singing — though what’s ultimately in the Venice world premiere out this fall from Netflix is vocally a blend of Jolie’s more nascent chops with Callas’ iconic and inimitable pipes. Watch the trailer for the film below.
Jolie is widely tipped as a Best Actress Oscar nominee for her role as a pill-swilling, self-pitying, vocally fraying Maria Callas in a drama with dialogue that bites, thanks to screenwriter Steven Knight behind the wheel of Callas’ demise. When Callas’ sister (Valeria Golino...

“Maria” is ready to sing.
On Thursday, Netflix released the first trailer for Pablo Larrain’s “Maria” starring Oscar winner Angelina Jolie as the legendary opera singer Maria Callas. A regular on the film festival circuit since its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in August, “Maria” will enjoy a limited theatrical release in late November before hitting Netflix on December 11.
The third film in Larrain’s unofficial trilogy on prominent women of the 20th century following “Jackie” (about Jacqueline Kennedy) and “Spencer” (about Princess Diana), “Maria” follows “the American-Greek soprano as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye.” The film, which unfolds over Callas’ final days, “reimagines the legendary soprano in her final days as the diva reckons with her identity and life.” Callas died in 1977 at the age of 53.

“Maria” serves as the third entry in the unofficial trilogy from director Pablo Larraín about iconic 20th-century women during a specific period when they receded from public view. 2016’s “Jackie” examined the role Jackie Kennedy played in the aftermath of her husband’s assassination, and “Spencer” took a measured approach to the life of Diana Spencer before her official divorce from the future King Charles of England. To say that “Maria” is the least all-encompassing of this trilogy is not an insult, but rather a calculated choice on Larraín’s part. This isn’t the story about how the consciousness of a nation was thrust on the shoulders of a young woman, but rather a deconstruction of the artifice of celebrity.

Between Jackie, Spencer, and, now, Maria, Pablo Larraín has thrice committed the cardinal sin of taking a female icon of the 20th century and, in an attempt to hold a mirror up to her multitudes, flattened her into the equivalent of a kitschy postage stamp. Though his sense of style seems like an attempt to absolve him of indulging in the generic tendencies of the biopic, his dependence on repeating the same ideas with the same self-seriousness does a disservice to his supposed goal of bestowing a sense of agency on complex, hyper-surveilled icons of femininity. Too often, as in Maria, he conflates a woman moping around empty rooms to brash music with a more tactile notion of interiority or complexity.
So it’s a shame that Angelina Jolie—portraying Callas in the final week of her life, living somewhat isolated in an opulent Paris apartment—is relegated to playing by the Larraín rulebook.

A strange thing happens when lifelong artists begin to sense the light at the end of the tunnel. Some, like Francis Ford Coppola with "Megalopolis," have the freedom to go out on their own terms, guns blazing and critics be damned, with one of the most bombastic and extravagant works they've ever produced. Others, however, aren't nearly as fortunate. Time and trauma take their tolls, forcing even the greatest legends to contend with a much more complicated reality: the fact that their dreams no longer match reality. By the end, nostalgia crashes hard against resentment and triggers a deep-rooted pain directed towards the very talents that made life worth living in the first place.
Spanish filmmaker Pablo Larraín isn't even close to the finish line, of course, yet in many ways "Maria" feels like his most wistful and self-reflexive movie yet. After guiding both "Jackie" and "Spencer" to such high acclaim in recent years,...

They say that in life there are three guarantees: death, taxes, and that if there is a complicated woman in need of a stylishly done, painstakingly constructed biopic, then Pablo Larraín is the man to make it. Having sensitively explored the grief of Jackie Kennedy in the wake of JFK's death with 2017's Natalie Portman starrer Jackie, and then made a haunting portrait of Princess Diana's vulnerability with Kristen Stewart in 2021's Spencer, Larraín has enlisted the services of Angelina Jolie to help tell the story of fêted opera singer Maria Callas in the aptly titled Maria. Check out the first teaser for the film below:
"Maria, what do you want to sing?" asks a pianist as Jolie's Maria looks out on a grand, empty music hall. From there, we get shots of Callas – in black and white, on vintage film, in a plethora of gorgeous outfits...

Angelina Jolie stars as Maria Callas in the latest aching biopic from Pablo Larraín. Check out the Maria trailer.
Pablo Larraín truly is the king of biopics about sad women. His 2016 film Jackie, starring Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy, captured Jackie’s grief perfectly and in 2021, Larraín explored Princess Diana’s complex inner state with Spencer. Of course, the director has done a lot of other, equally excellent films but his latest, Maria, feels like the third part in an unofficial trilogy of films about women grieving.
Take a look at the Maria trailer.
Maria is set in picturesque Paris and explores some of the final years of opera singer Maria Callas’ life. The film had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival where it was warmly received. Maria will also screen as part of the BFI London Film Festival in October.

The film, directed by Pablo Larraín (Jackie and Spencer), follows the “American-Greek soprano as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye. Maria reimagines the legendary soprano in her final days as the diva reckons with her identity and life,” the logline reads.
“What do you want to sing,” a voice says, as Jolie responds at the end of the video, “Not today.” The teaser also features glimpses of Callas’ final days in 1970s Paris, from personal moments to her performing onstage.
Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Valeria Golino, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Haluk Bilginer round out the cast. The film was produced by Larraín, Juan De Dios Larraín, Jonas Dornbach and Lorenzo Mieli.

Angelina Jolie has transformed into the role of a lifetime, portraying legendary opera singer Maria Callas for Pablo Larraín’s latest biopic, “Maria.”
After Larraín helmed “Spencer” and “Jackie,” the auteur is now taking on the Greek opera star whose own life mirrored the dramatic tragedies she also brought to the stage. The film is set during the last days of the chanteuse’s life in 1977. She died of a heart attack at age 53.
“Maria” concludes Larraín’s biopic trilogy. To note, Callas and Jackie Kennedy both shared a lover in Aristotle Onassis, portrayed by Haluk Bilginer in “Maria.” Onassis famously left Callas to marry Kennedy.
Callas was a world-famous soprano singer and infamously had a feud with Renata Tebaldi. The Greek-American singer suffered from near-sightedness throughout her life and was referred to as La Divina or “The Divine One.”
Per the official synopsis, the film explores the life of the legendary,...

Angelina Jolie introduced Pablo Larrain’s new film “Maria” about opera legend Maria Callas at a private screening during the Toronto Film Festival on Sunday. The biopic, which premiered last month at the Venice Film Festival, offers an intimate look at Callas’s life in the 1970s as she faced struggles with her artistry and self-esteem.
Jolie, who portrays Callas in the film, said the character experienced “highs and greatest highs” when able to connect emotionally with audiences through her music. However, Callas also had low points where she felt unable to connect that “really broke her.” The film aims to show both the extraordinary talent and complex humanity of a woman often remembered solely for her opera career.
“I hope viewers leave with a deeper appreciation of who Callas was as a person, not just her talents,” Jolie told the audience. She wants the biopic to honor Callas’s...

Angelina Jolie says Maria, her latest movie where she plays the world’s greatest opera singer, is about an artist faced with creative struggles and doubt.
“Towards the end of her life of her life she had highs and the greatest highs, were where she could really feel she was connecting, and she had times where she felt she couldn’t, and it really broke her and she felt she wasn’t able to connect,” Jolie added when introducing a private screening at the Toronto Film Festival on Sunday.
Pablo Larrain’s biopic Maria, based on true accounts, tells the tumultuous, beautiful and tragic story of the life of the world’s greatest opera singer, relived and reimagined during her final days in 1970s Paris.
Jolie, introducing the film, said Callas passed away during “darker times in her life.” So the film’s lead welcomed the Toronto audience and screening,...

Angelina Jolie received a thunderous, eight-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival following the world premiere of Pablo Larraín’s “Maria.” The reception moved the Oscar-winning actress to tears and left her contemplating the legacy of Maria Callas, the opera diva she brings so thrillingly to life on screen.
“I thought about her a lot in that moment,” Jolie said during an interview at the Telluride Film Festival, where “Maria” screened last week. “It’s strange when you feel so close to this real human being. I know that applause was for her life. Often, we don’t, as artists, know if our work resonates, or we don’t expect kindness. You walk out expecting not to be supported or not to connect. But ‘Maria’ did.”
“Maria” is part of Larraín’s trilogy of iconic, often misunderstood women, one that began with “Jackie” (2016), starring Natalie Portman as Jacqueline Kennedy,...

At the Academy Awards ceremony held earlier this year, Emma Stone was awarded her second best actress Oscar, a mere seven years after winning her first. You might think that winning multiple acting Oscars would be an extreme rarity, but you would be wrong. Stone became the 45th performer ever conferred more than one.
Why do I bring this up? Because if anyone thinks that Angelina Jolie cannot win the best actress Oscar at the next Academy Awards ceremony because she already won once before — in a different category, mind you, best supporting actress, for Girl, Interrupted, which came out exactly 25 years ago — then I’ve got news for you: think again.
Jolie has certainly made a strong case for herself with a daring, tour de force performance as the legendary but troubled opera singer Maria Callas in Maria, the final installment of Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín’s unofficial trilogy...

The duo’s arrival at the Palazzo del Cinema sparked a frenzy among fans as they posed for photographers. Jolie, embodying the elegance of her character, the legendary opera singer Maria Callas, stunned in a flowing gown that captured the essence of timeless glamour.
Larraín, known for his biographical dramas, appeared relaxed as he accompanied his lead actress. The Chilean director’s previous works, including Jackie and Spencer, have earned him critical acclaim, and “Maria” is poised to continue that trend.

Two world premieres at the Venice Film Festival in one night? Easy enough for Oscar-nominated actor Kodi Smit-McPhee who had perhaps the busiest night at Palazzo del Cinema on Thursday night — aside from maybe a teary Angelina Jolie or her security guards — thanks to back-to-back screenings of his new projects.
The actor, who broke out with an Oscar-nominated turn in Jane Campion’s Western drama The Power of the Dog, turned up at Sala Grande in a glitzy black ensemble by Versace from the house’s 2024 ready-to-wear collection. The look, styled by Emma Kalfus, featured black skinny pants, an embellished jacket and movie star shades. He paired the look with a silver chain and shiny patent leather boots.

Angelina Jolie’s Bold Fashion Choice in the Brutal Venice Heat: A Faux Fur Stole at ‘Maria’ Premiere
Angelina Jolie stole the show Thursday night at Palazzo del Cinema for the world premiere of Pablo Larraín’s Maria during the Venice Film Festival.
The Oscar-winning actress toplines the biopic, newly acquired by Netflix, as the famed opera star Maria Callas. Jolie seemed to be channeling the stage diva with her red carpet ensemble, which featured a perhaps surprising accessory in the brutal Venice heat: a faux fur stole.
With muggy temperatures soaring into the upper 80 degrees Fahrenheit, Jolie hit the scene outside Sala Grande wearing a stone chiffon draped asymmetric gown by designer Tamara Ralph, one of her frequent collaborators. If she was sweating, it didn’t show as Jolie took her time posing on the red carpet with her co-stars including Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher and Kodi Smit-McPhee as well as auteur Larraín.

At the Venice Film Festival press conference for “Maria,” filmmaker Pablo Larraín’s latest portrait of an iconic woman of the 20th century, one journalist was bold enough to ask whether or not Angelina Jolie had the Oscars in mind upon taking the role Ever the diplomat, the Academy Award winner pulled the focus back to Maria Callas, the supreme opera diva she portrays in the film. “In my own business if there’s a response to the work, I’m very grateful, but in my heart to disappoint the people who love her and who she means a lot to, and her legacy, I came to care for her,” she said. “I didn’t want to do a disservice to this woman.”

There is a point in the film “Maria” when the titular opera legend Maria Callas talks about wanting to go back to one night at the Venice Film Festival in 1949. After the August 29 premiere of the new Pablo Larraín film at that same festival, star Angelina Jolie will have a similar joyful memory to draw upon in the future.
Recently acquired by Netflix for U.S. distribution, meaning an Oscar campaign is in tow, the film about Callas’s final days, as she reflects on her life and strives to reclaim her remarkable voice, concluded with the crowd inside of Sala Grande applauding her and colleagues on the film well past when the credits stopped rolling.

On Wednesday, Netflix confirmed that it had acquired distribution rights to the film. “I’m excited to partner again with the Netflix team who care so passionately about movies,” the filmmaker said in a statement regarding the deal. “This film is my most personal work yet. It is a creative imagining and psychological portrait of Maria Callas, who, after dedicating her life to performing for audiences around the world, decides finally to find her own voice, her own identity, and sing for herself.”

After the detour of El Conde, Pablo Larraín returns with a study of opera singer Maria Callas, thus closing out a triptych of films on glamorous women, gilded isolation, and lingering death that began with Jackie in 2016 and continued via Spencer five years later. Maria stars Angelina Jolie, back with her meatiest performance in years as a prodigal artist whose gifts began to fade long before they should have. Working again from a script by Spencer‘s Steven Knight, the film imagines Callas’ final days in Paris leading up to her death in 1977, then just 53 years old. Using a fictional filmmaker (Kodi Smit-McPhee) to structure the story, Larraín skips back and forth: we see the singer’s early years (moving from New York to Athens on the eve of WWII), experience some iconic performances, and learn of her romantic regrets. This includes two separate occasions when Jackie Kennedy came into her orbit––though,...

“Maria,” Pablo Larraín’s drama about the legendary American-born Greek soprano Maria Callas, begins on the day of her death, September 16, 1977. As thin as a wraith, clad in a white nightgown, she has collapsed on the living-room floor of her very grand Paris apartment. The film then flashes back to one week before; most of it takes place during that week (though it’s dotted with key episodes from Callas’s life). So we know exactly where this is going. But we don’t just know where it’s going because the movie is set during that fateful final week. We know it because the story “Maria” tells is that of a neurotic death spiral.
The apartment, with its chandeliers hanging from high ceilings, its wooden walls and large old canvases, as well as the most luxurious bed I think I’ve ever seen in a movie, is splendid enough...

Over almost two decades, Chilean director Pablo Larraín has been making Spanish-language films that have ranged from creepy tales to political stories to character studies to, well, creepy political character studies (“El Conde”). For the last eight of those years, though, Larraín has had a parallel career making a trio of English-language films that draw their one-word titles from the names of the famous women at their center: first 2016’s “Jackie,” starring Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy in the days following the assassination of her husband, U.S. President John F. Kennedy; then 2021’s “Spencer,” with Kristen Stewart as Diana Spencer, the soon-to-be Princess of Wales, on a fraught weekend at the British royal family’s country home; and now “Maria,” with Angelina Jolie as opera diva Maria Callas.
Those three films make an unlikely triptych of adventurous, dark fantasias about iconic women under extreme pressure. But “Maria,” which was...

‘Maria’ Review: Angelina Jolie’s Maria Callas Suffers at a Chilly Distance in Pablo Larraín’s Biopic
In Jackie and Spencer, Pablo Larraín removed any trace of starch from the historical bio-drama to examine, with penetrating intimacy, famous women in moments of extreme emotional distress played out in the glare of a global spotlight. Intimacy is the key factor lacking in the third part of the gifted Chilean director’s unofficial trilogy, Maria. Starring Angelina Jolie as revered operatic soprano Maria Callas over the final week of her life in Paris, the movie is like a glittering jewel in a glass showcase, inviting you to look but not touch.
That doesn’t mean it’s uninvolving or that Jolie’s technically precise interpretation isn’t impressive. But there’s a meta collision between a star whose celebrity has long eclipsed her acting achievements, making it all but impossible for her to disappear into a character, and a subject who constructed an imperious persona for herself, performing even...
