That Oscar is a pity fuck.

He's one of the worst major actors ever to have a decades-long career!

The Best Supporting Oscar was given because no matter how well liked he is, the AMPAS can't stomach the idea of EVER giving him a Best Actor.

Pretty much... Also laughable that he was even nominated for Best Supporting Actor when he was as much of a Lead Character as Leo was in OUATIA

Leo was the main character that was pretty clear. I don’t how stupid you are, but you’re just a troll.

There were two lead characters. I actually thought Pitt was very good in the role (although Pesci was the best in the category by a mile) but, as late as the early 90s, such a role by such a star would never have been considered supporting. It's only in recent decades that the studios, desperate to maximise nomination potential, have decided that a film cannot have two same sex leads (even when - as in, say, Brokeback Mountain or Carol, it is clear that they do).

Leo was not the main character. He was a co-lead. Brad Pitt had as much screen time as he did. Practically half of the movie was him driving around Hollywood and encountering the Manson family at Spahn Ranch.

Yeah just stop posting you stupid Scumbag. Fight Club, Twelve Monkeys, Moneyball, Snatch, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Inglorious Basterds, Benjamin Button, etc. One of the best Actors of this generation. You’re honestly a salty, bitter, trolling piece of filth.

He's a bizarre actor.

Sometimes he sounds like he's reading lines and other times he's very natural.

Fight Club and 12 Monkeys he played crazy and was awesome. When they give him "deep" or "poetic" roles he's terrible. He was like that in Interview with a Vampire and sounded like he was reading cue cards.

I think he can't understand those roles and so is just saying lines. He's miscast in dramas because I think he'd be better for comedies and action.

"I think he can't understand those roles and so is just saying lines."

That certain describes his performance in "Inglorious Basterds", the film that made me finally and completely give up on him. I haven't watched anything he's done since, the overexposed no-talent.

I didn't like that film much.

As I recall he had a robotic radio announcer kind of delivery.

Pitt is definitely inconsistent as an actor. He ranges from excellent and perfectly cast to incompetent or "try hard." He was terrible before he hit his stride with Fight Club. (I always cringe thinking about his scene in Se7en when he gets the box.)

I saw 7 one time in the movies when it came out and I can still remember it.

Meanwhile, I would watch him play Fight club roles all day long. I just don't get it.

He plays wacky hard to play characters very well.
