The trailing floor-length gown showcased the actress’s sculpted arms and perfect legs through the glittering fine mesh, decorated with feathered detailing.

Angelina received the honor — only non-cinematographer honor handed out by the group — following her fourth film, First They Killed My Father.

The award is given to individuals whose body of work has made significant and indelible contributions to cinema, and for filmmakers who have been champions for directors of photography and the visual art form.

‘Angelina Jolie sets a high standard,’ ASC president Kees van Oostrum said announcing the award last month. ‘She is a true artist, with a strong vision and collaborative spirit. 

‘She has also entertained us through her work, but more importantly has brought significant social issues to our attention. For her wide-ranging accomplishments, we are honored to present her with our Board of Governors Award.’

Meanwhile, it’s been claimed Angelina’s ex Brad had been in touch with his ex, Jennifer, as her marriage to Justin Theroux fizzled out.

Pitt and Aniston were married from 2000 to 2005, but split immediately before he moved on to his Mr And Mrs Smith co-star Jolie.

Pitt and Jolie married and shared six children — three natural, three adopted — before splitting in 2016.

This week Aniston announced she was splitting from husband of two years Justin.

Entertainment Tonight presenter Nancy O’Dell told the The Mirror Jen and Brad ‘have each other’s numbers and communicate from time to time. Jen and Brad have remained friendly.’

However a source recently told People: ‘They haven’t seen each other in ages. For well over a decade now they have lived totally separate lives and so not surprisingly, they have become totally different people than who they once were when they were together,’ an insider told People.

But they have texted each other.

‘They aren’t in regular contact, beyond an occasional text back and forth to wish each other the best when there’s been a new project or big event,’ added the source.
