The Oscars are just weeks away, and even though it’s going to be a tight race this year in the Best Actor category, Brad Pitt has a new idea on how to settle the matter. Brad is an underdog up against George Clooney, Demian Bichir, Gary Oldman, and Jean Dujardin, but Mr. Pitt has an idea for how he might just win:

BRAD PITT: You know what I think they should do?
JON STEWART: What do you think they should do?
BRAD PITT: I think they should just put a trophy on the table, and like one of those car contests, we should just put our hand on it, to see who can hold it the longest.
JON STEWART: That is the most awesome idea I have ever heard.
BRAD PITT: And the last man standing takes the trophy.
JON STEWART: That’s a tremendous idea!
BRAD PITT: Hands on the Oscar.
JON STEWART: Why isn’t that a movie right now?

Brad stopped by the Daily Show With Jon Stewart last night, where he was mobbed by fans outside, anxious for the A-lister’s autograph. [OnCam] It’s all part of Brad’s latest promotional rounds for Moneyball, which have included recent stops at Inside the Actors Studio and The Today Show, where best supporting actor nominee and costar Jonah Hill revealed that he’s pulling for Brad to win.

JONAH HILL: I genuinely think if I wasn’t in this film, he gave my favorite performance of the year, so my vote would go to him.

We won’t know for sure who is going to take home the Oscar until the show airs on February 26, but if voters can’t decide, there’s always Brad’s idea.

LYRICS:

Oscar season’s here.
A mediocre year.

Say, you had a lot of flicks try to win your votes.
A few of them had luck, and actually made out with
Oscar noms
Oscar noms

You got nine choices, only one lasts forever,
Now it’s time to find out which one is better.
Oscar noms
Oscar noms

War Horse made it on the list,
Obvious and trite,
Will not win this fight.
Spielberg making this movie
Like he never had a nom,
Never had a nom

Scorcese’s first for young’uns really looked so precious,
And so did Tree of Life,
But that one caused depression, and you
Even had a flick written by Aaron Sorkin,
But let’s face it, that one’s such a bore!
And then you’ve got The Help, but that’s a bit older,
So it will probably end up getting the cold shoulder.
This one’s sitting here like a place holder,
Didn’t get good reviews, in fact it got smoldered.

Everyone thought the frontrunner would be violent,
But it turned out it sucked, so now it’s the one that’s silent.
Oscar noms
(Oscar noms)

And Alexander Payne, I think we get the point,
Fourth movie in a row for us to anoint with
Oscar noms
Oscar noms

Finally we are thrilled,
Woody’s not a hack.
Had a big comeback.
The way he’s making his movies
Like when he used to get some noms,
Used to get some noms

You had a lot of actors that transformed themselves.
All of it in hopes of getting awards on their shelves.
But what’s with Jonah Hill?
And why put Nick Nolte
Up against these Europeans?
That’s just insulting.
Now, I admire Brad Pitt and Gary Oldman,
But they need to pick better movies to perform in.
That Mexican is cool,
And Clooney’s such a beast,
But they’ll probably give it to the one who spoke the least.

Two supporting actresses only had to poop,
And that was all it took for those women to scoop
Oscar noms
Oscar noms

Best Actress? I enjoyed Streep, Williams, Mara, Davis,
But on Glenn Close I’m stuck, what the in God’s name is
Albert Nobbs?
Albert Nobbs?

Oooh,
And I just want to see the show,
To see who is the best
And win the pool.
I wanna win my Oscar pool,
Yeah
