Where is Brad Pitt's Oscar?
I know there are a lot of actors who are brilliant and who have never won an Oscar. But, come on - Brad Pitt? Every performance is awesome. He is not just another pretty face.

I know we are not the Academy here, but when is he going to get his due? Where is Brad Pitt's Oscar?

1. How come many brilliant people never get their due?
The Academy has a long history of voting politically, etc.

3. I think Brad's a decent (if mumbly) actor, who's gotten better over the years......

...... but Oscar-worthy? Je ne sais pas.

5. His time is coming. Not a popular view, but many can't see past his good looks.
To me he is even more handsome now, with character lines, with some gray, maturity, and children.

6. Ben Affleck already received an Oscar.
If you want to persuade people that Brad Pitt hasn't received an Oscar, then you need to demonstrate that Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck are two different people.

Maybe you can demonstrate that they are two different people. However, it will require some work.

10. Oscar?
You mean that "award" they give to people like Jennifer Hudson, Marisa Tomei, Nicolas Cage, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cuba Catchphrase Jr. but not to Gary Oldman, Peter O' Toole (aside from the pity 2003 Honorary Award), Stanley Kubrick, Richard Burton or Alan Rickman?

11. Let's see....
An Oscar versus getting to crawl into bed with Angelina Jolie every night.

Hmm...strangely, I don't find myself feeling sorry for the lad.
