All Of Brad Pitt's Best Jokes This Awards Season

did you realize Brad Pitt's got jokes? Few things have brought as much joy to this awards season than the Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood star's acceptance speeches. A mix of charm, humor, and bravado, the punchy one-liners have become a staple at every event from the Golden Globes to the National Board of Review gala to the BAFTAs (where he wasn't even physically present to accept his award or deliver his zinger). And while it's the sort of gimmick that could get old coming from someone less beloved, Pitt's jokes have made the repetitive nature of this season's acting awards a little bit more bearable. Right considering that, if you're going to sweep every Best Supporting Actor accolade for months, you could as well make it fun for the rest of us.


So, to the person ghostwriting Pitt's jokes, we applaud you. Nevertheless the real question is: Did Pitt save the perfect for last? In anticipation of the actor's first Oscar win tonight (February 9) and final acceptance speech of the season, let's take a look at all of his best quips this awards season.

  While accepting the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his efficiency in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood the actor made sure to thank his good friend and co-star "LDC" for being a generous scene partner. He then, totally unprompted, mentioned, "I would have shared the raft." The raft in question is the infamous door that saves Rose's life in the 1997 film Titanic — the door that she did not share with her lover Jack, played by Pitt's BFF, Leonardo DiCaprio.

  Soon following the "raft" incident, Pitt — a tabloid preference and notable ex of both Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie — had a little bit of fun at his own expense if he joked, "I wanted to bring my mom [to the Golden Globes] however I couldn’t because any woman I stand next to, they mention I’m dating. It would just be awkward."

  As soon as accepting the Screen Actors Guild Award, Pitt quipped, "I have to add this to my Tinder profile." (Is Pitt even on Tinder?) He also jokingly compared himself to his Once Upon a Time character, saying, "Let’s be trustworthy, it was a tough part — a guy who gets high, takes his shirt off, and doesn’t get on with his spouse. It was a big stretch."

  Pitt was honored with the Maltin Modern Master Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival this year, a designation that celebrates an actor's storied Hollywood career. As such, Pitt referenced some of his past work while in his acceptance speech. "It’s things like this and nights like these tell me that I’m old," Pitt joked. "I’ve been around a while and I’ve been doing this for a little. I can’t stand night shoots anymore, and I’ll gladly hand a stunt over to a stunt man. I no longer remember the opening rule of Fight Club," a fun nod to his 1999 film.

While accepting the BAFTA on the actor's behalf, Robbie read, "Oh, and he says that he he'll name this Harry" — referencing the Actor award — "because he is really excited about bringing it back to the States with him." Robbie then clarified, "His words, not mine." At least Prince William and Kate Middleton, who were sitting in the crowd, were seen laughing.
