Best Actor nominee George Clooney tells Reuters, "I like a world where Brad Pitt has an Academy Award."
George Clooney earned his seventh Oscar nod for his role in "The Descendants" as a well-meaning and well-off Hawaiian land owner navigating his fragile family through a period of turbulence after a boating accident leaves his wife in a coma.
Brad Pitt earned his fourth Academy Award nomination for "Moneyball," as major league baseball manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), who upends years of tradition by scouting players based on statistics and not gut instinct. He is nominated twice this year, as he is credited as a producer of "Moneyball," which is nominated for best picture as well. Pitt, 48, was cast in his breakout role in the 1991 film "Thelma and Louise," and was previously nominated for his lead role in 2008's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and for supporting actor for 1995's "Twelve Monkeys." He is famously partnered with actress Angelina Jolie, with whom he has 6 children, 3 of whom are adopted.
