00:00Brad Pitt won big at the 92nd annual Academy Awards on Sunday night.
00:11The veteran actor nabbed the Oscar for actor in a supporting role for his work on
00:14Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, playing Cliff Booth, a skilled stuntman in the
00:18Quentin Tarantino-directed Best Picture nominee. Pitt beat out fellow nominees
00:22including Al Pacino for The Irishman, Joe Pesci for The Irishman, Tom Hanks for
00:27A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and Anthony Hopkins for The Two Popes. Pitt
00:32thanked Tarantino for being original and one-of-a-kind, adding the film industry would
00:36be a much drier place without him, and had nothing but praise for his Once Upon a
00:40Time in Hollywood co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, saying he'd ride on his coattails any day.
00:44But before expressing his thank yous, Pitt couldn't help but take a moment out of his
00:48speech to take a jab at the Senate.
00:50Thank you to the Academy for this honor of honors. They told me I only have 45 seconds
00:56up here, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week.
01:00This award marks Pitt's first Oscar win for an acting category. He previously won in 2012
01:06as a producer of Best Picture winner 12 Years a Slave.
