00:05Angelina Jolie was brought to tears after receiving an 8-minute standing ovation following
00:09the world premiere of her new film, Maria at the Venice Film Festival in Italy Thursday.
00:14The Tomb Raider actress was seen turning away from the applauding audience, as she tried to
00:18conceal her crying at the Sala Grande theater and videos circulating on social media. Jolie, 49,
00:24wiped her watering eyes as she became emotional and even used her hand to cover her face several
00:28times. The Academy Award winner graciously nodded and smiled at the crowd while holding back tears,
00:33as the movie's director, Pablo Larrain, assisted her up the stairs in the theater.
00:38Audience members were seen standing and clapping as they cheered for the actress for at least eight
00:42solid minutes, according to reports. Jolie looked stunning in a chic off-the-shoulder champagne
00:47gown and fur wrap, adorned with a sparkling vintage brooch. The Maleficent star portrays
00:52Greek opera singer Maria Callas in the biographical drama. Ahead of the event,
00:57Jolie paid tribute to Callas by attending a photo call wearing a Cartier panthier pin
01:01that belonged to the legendary soprano.
01:03I chose not to copy Maria's looks because they are hers, and her Venice carpets were stunning,
01:08so I gave a little nod to her in a different way, she told Vogue, adding,
01:11You can imagine how special it was to wear a piece of jewelry that was hers.
01:15The humanitarian also honored her memory earlier in the day by wearing a brown Grecian-style
01:19St. Lauren gown that nodded to Callas' onstage costumes, with a striped style.
01:24Her well-received performance has already inspired Oscar buzz,
01:27according to several outlets like Variety and The New York Times.
01:31In 2000, Jolie won the Best Supporting Oscar for her role in Girl,
01:34Interrupted. Nine years later, she received an Academy Award nomination
01:38for Best Actress for her role in the 2000 A-crime drama, Changeling.
