After years of antagonism, the two women finally face off in front of millions.
Hollywood’s greatest rivals came face to face at the Oscars last week, with Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie just metres apart at the entertainment industry’s night of nights.
After four years of verbal slights and refusing to appear at the same events, the two women were separated by just four metres, with Angelina and Brad seated in the front row as Jen presented the night’s two animation awards.
“Everyone was craning their necks to see how Brad and Angie watched Jen,” an audience member told Life & Style magazine. “When Jen got up there, it was the moment that everyone had been waiting for.”
The enormity of the night wasn’t lost on Jen’s boyfriend, John Mayer. The couple used the Oscars as their official “coming out” party, with John revealing he was at the red carpet event as “moral support” for his nervous girlfriend.
“You have to really be with someone that you know has your back in that situation, and she did, and it was really great,” he said.
