Brad Pitt Reveals the “Most Awesome Idea” For Choosing Oscar Winners — Ever!
February 4th, 2012
Hi there, I’m Lauren Bradshaw. Brad Pitt shares his inventive idea for selecting Oscar winners in today’s PopSugar Rush.
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.
