Those award shows don't really reward artistic talent.

Look at who they were up against for each award. I do think Pitt deserved it for Moneyball though.
Gamecocks, Vikings, Lakers, Dodgers, LA Kings,

People say that because they expect a guy with so much buzz hype around him to be a talentless hack. But Pitt is legit.Originally Posted by mrsnruB1111

Because Brad and Leo aren't suck ups.

Anthony Hopkins said this:
"...You know, I've been around — I've got the Oscar myself for Silence of the Lambs — and having to be nice to people and to be charming and flirting with them ... oh, come on! People go out of their way to flatter the nominating body and I think it's kind of disgusting. That's always been against my nature. You know, kissing the backside of the authorities that can make or break it; I can't stand all that. I find it nauseating to watch and I think it's disgusting to behold. People groveling around and kissing the backsides of famous producers and all that. It makes me want to throw up, it really does. It's sick-making. I've seen it so many times. I saw it fairly recently, last year. Some great producer-mogul and everyone kisses this guy's backside. I think, 'What are they doing? Don't they have any self respect?' I wanted to say, '(Expletive) off.'"

While I'm not at all discounting the role of politics, You can be an Oscar calibre actor with a long career of nomination worthy roles and still be deservedly beat every year even by guys who don't necessarily have as an impressive overall career.
And i think Brad Pitt is one of those guys (like Leo)
But your use of his two notoriously blandest roles in the OP makes me suspect trolling lulz, nonetheless Pitt is a great actor. Post up specific times he should have beat someone else who didn't deserve their win if you think him not having an Oscar is an injustice.Feathered Nether Regions

Well the two roles you posted:
Jamie Foxx won for Ray the year Troy came out. You think Pitt was better? Not a chance.
Sean Penn won for Milk when Pitt was nominated for BB. Rourke should have won that year regardless, but Pitt still wasn't the best actor that year.
Not really any surprise that he hasn't won yet.I'm a wizard.

Pretty much this...but not sure if Pitt is really that outstanding of an actor and I like him. Really his best role is in Kalifornia when David Duchovony was the top billed actor on that movie. Pitt plays a great white trash serial killer in that movie, definitely recommend it. Leo too though...his best role is probably The Basketball Diaries, but that is before he was well known, the The Departed was a really, really good role for him. We'll see with Django Unchained where he plays a villian. Pitt, Cruise and others like Clooney are kinda the same person each time, even though their roles change. Watch the career of people like Gary Oldman and compare...he is totally lost in the characters...the other three aforementioned are always themselves simply performing a role. Oh well...I put my money down to see them and usually enjoy their movies...that's probably what matters the most,Originally Posted by Tweak919

Right I haven't seen Moneyball. LOL at getting an oscar for Benjamin Button. I mean his technical work was good but a performance isn't just technique it's the sum of technique and characterisation and Harvey Milk + Nixon were far more engaging performances for most viewers. If there was an actor who should have won the Academy Award that year it was Rourke for The Wrestler - Pitt getting it would have been an absolute travesty. Haven't seen Jenkins performance but his turn in even frickin' Cabin in the Woods was better than Benjamin Button.Originally Posted by kabs13
Inglourious Basterds - he was absolutely fantastic but not even the standout supporting performance of the movie. Next. Now if you want to look at as a leading role, you could make much worse decisions, but you had Bridges, Clooney, Firth Freeman and Renner actually being the main character in their films and going through character arcs. Very thin ground to support best actor. But hey, he was great in the movie.
Troy. LOL. Winning the Oscar for Troy would have been the most insane Academy Award decision ever (and there's been a few). Not just that, but FAMOUSLY so, it would become totally notorious. Pitt's horribly misconceived attempt at Achilles may not have been his fault (we all know what George Lucas did with a cast of outstanding actors in the new Star Wars Trilogy), but up against Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles, Leo as Howard Hughes, Depp as JM Barrie, Clint Eastwood in Million Dollar Baby and Don Cheadle in Hotel Rwanda? srsly...
I'm not googling anymore. Post up specific times he should have beat someone else who didn't deserve their win and which performances he was up against, if you think him not having an Oscar is an injustice.
You just seem to love Pitt in almost everything (nothing wrong with that) but you're not making any argument for why he should have won an oscar for any of those films (though a couple of those turns are certainly at least nomination worthy; eg Fight Club - but you're not making an argument for it yet).Last edited by Penile_Dementia; 12-02-2012 at 02:44 PM.

Seven: Kevin Spacey won that year for The Usual Suspects, fair.Originally Posted by kabs13
Fight Club: The movie got shat on that year as a whole so I'll give you that one.
Troy: See above.
Ocean's: Not even going to research this cause lol at anything in it being Oscar worthy. Yes good film but nothing too special.
Inglorious Bastards: Jeff Bridges for Crazy Heart, also fair.
BB: See above.
Babel: Forrest Whitaker won but Leo should have won anyway.
Snatch: Russell Crowe for Gladiator...
Moneyball: Personally this movie was severely overrated. That being said Clooney should have won for Descendants anyway. Frenchy from The Artist won which was also severely overrated.I'm a wizard.
love leo
