Angelina Jolie’s rarely seen son Knox looks like a young Brad Pitt as he towers over her at Governors Awards 2024

Angelina Jolie looked every inch the proud mom as she beamed alongside her son, Knox Jolie-Pitt, at the Governors Awards on Sunday. 

The Oscar-winning actress, 48, and her handsome 16-year-old son—whom she shares with ex Brad Pitt—took over the red carpet at the Ray Dolby Ballroom, effortlessly commanding attention with their striking style.

Jolie dazzled in a shimmering gold-and-silver sleeveless gown, radiating Hollywood glamour, while oversized diamond earrings and a matching necklace added the perfect touch of sparkle. 

Her newly lightened locks were swept into a chic bun, and she shared an easy laugh with Knox, who looked dashing in a tuxedo.

As the duo posed for photos, Knox, towering over his mom with a striking resemblance to his matinee idol father, made a memorable grand entrance. 

Notably absent were his siblings—Maddox (22), Pax (20), Zahara (19), Shiloh (17), and the twins, Vivienne and Knox—making it a rare mother-son moment at the star-studded event.

The pair mingled with a who’s who of Hollywood, including Pamela Anderson, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, and Elizabeth Olsen, among many others.

The event, put on by the film academy´s board of governors, is honoring the late Quincy Jones, James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, filmmaker Richard Curtis and casting director Juliet Taylor. 

Angelina’s outing comes as the actress continues to promote her latest film Maria, a biopic about opera legend Maria Callas, which is already generating Oscar buzz. 

Maria, which depicts Callas during her final decline in Paris in the 1970s, was helmed by Jackie director Pablo Larrain.

Fans have called for the actress to get an Oscar with one writing: ‘Holy s**t I f**king can’t wait to see this movie!!! Seriously I know I’m going to be blown away by Angelina Jolie’s performance as Maria. The Oscar is coming for her.’

Another pleaded with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science to just ‘give Angelina the Oscar already for her interpretation as Maria Callas.’ 

A third, who admitted they hadn’t even watched the trailer, joked they were already planning on ‘running the Angelina Jolie Oscar campaign.’ 

‘The Maria trailer is so beautiful. I’ve seen enough, give Angelina Jolie the Oscar already,’ a fourth tweeted. 

Maria, according to a synopsis, ‘follows the American-Greek soprano as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye.’

The film aims to ‘reimagines the legendary soprano in her final days as the diva reckons with her identity and life.’ 

She died in Paris in 1977 of a heart attack at age 53.

The highly anticipated movie will come out in theaters in November then stream on Netflix in December.

Netflix is set to release the film in U.S. theaters on November 27 before it debuts on the streaming platform on December 11. 

Previously, the mom-of-six won an Oscar the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Lisa Rowe, a diagnosed sociopath, in the 1999 psychological thriller Girl, Interrupted.

In 2008, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Christine Collins in the mystery crime drama Changeling. 

She lost, however, to French actress, Marion Cotillard, who won for her leading role in La Vie en Rose. 

Throughout her career, Jolie has taken home a number of awards, including three Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and a Tony Award.

Jolie is halfway to EGOT status after winning her first Tony over the summer. 

The EGOT is one of the most prestigious clubs in all of US showbiz and there are dozens of stars who are just one award from achieving the prestigious title. 

The acronym stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards and is the designation given to people who have won all four of the major American performing awards.

Jolie just needs to earn an Emmy and Grammy in order to achieve the feat, which has only been earned by 21 people.
