Why is Angelina Jolie not nominated for 'Maleficent'?

Academy Award nominations for the 2014 movie year won't be revealed until Thursday, January 15, 2015. But the most-talked-about frontrunners are Julianne Moore (a four-time Oscar nominee who has never won) for "Still Alice"; Reese Witherspoon (the 2005 Best Actress winner) for "Wild"; Felicity Jones for "The Theory of Everything"; Rosamund Pike for "Gone Girl"; and Jennifer Aniston for "Cake." It is likely that Angelina Jolie's best chances for Oscar nominations are as the director and co-producer of "Unbroken," the true story of World War II prisoner of war Louis "Louie" Zamperini. She won the 1999 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance in "Girl, Interrupted."
