The sex symbol of an entire generation could become a banal journalist, but fate decreed otherwise. The artist’s biography is devoted to a lot of materials, his film career also attracts great attention. There are a lot of interesting facts related to her. Let's talk about the awards, and more precisely, about the most important in the career of any any noticeable Hollywood character. So, let's figure out for which film Brad Pitt received an Oscar?
Paradox
Starting a conversation about the path of any standing actor to the treasured statuette, it is always interesting to learn about the ups and downs of this progress. Some artists were waiting for a quick and easy hundred-meter race, while others overcame an incredibly long marathon before they reached their goal. And many did not reach. Brad was among the lucky ones, but this path was no less winding for him than for most. There is an interesting paradox.
In fact, his acting career has not yet been crowned with this award. Brad Pitt received an Oscar for the film Twelve Years of Slavery, in which although he starred in a small role, the statuette did not go to him for that at all. The film was produced by a team of specialists, among whom he also entered. And since film academics recognized this project as the best for 2013, the figurine went to him. So the laurels, although well-deserved, are hardly satisfying him so far - as an actor, at least.
Carier start
The film career of any artist, especially in the interweaving with everyday life, is full of interesting facts. We continue to deal with the creative activities of this famous actor and producer. Born in 1963. From childhood he was fond of sports, dreamed of playing in the theater. In 1986, he quit university, studying for a journalist. He moved to Hollywood. He starred in the first episodic role in 1987. Seven years of episodic roles and little-known projects finally led to a breakthrough in his acting career. In 1994, they released first “Interview with the Vampire”, and then “Legends of Autumn”, in which his talent of the first-person actor is manifested. Although the main successes are still to come, the future successful Brad Pitt is already visible. The Oscar is also far away, but the first nomination for the Globe for the main role is a major breakthrough.
Fame
Real success was expected in 1995, when the actor got a role in the sensational project "Seven", where he finally managed to show extraordinary talent. Then “The Twelve Monkeys”, who gave him the first nomination for the statuette, though for the time being for the supporting role. Career is gaining momentum in full swing. Hooligan Fight Club, Guy Ritchie and The Big Jackpot, another remake of Ocean Friends. Better roles and higher fees, growing as actor Brad Pitt. Oscar has just winked, but it feels like the guy will not miss his own.
It is worth mentioning the 2005 hit entitled “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” which became a turning point for the actor in terms of personal life. Indeed, the hit parade of girlfriends of the sex symbol of the movie is led by stars of the first magnitude of Hollywood. Here and Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer Aniston. However, working with Angelina Jolie in “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” turned the personal life of the Hollywood rake, making him an exemplary family man. Indeed, more than ten years of marriage and a bunch of foster children, what else is needed for real human happiness?
Thorns on the way
But back to the cinema. It seemed time to harvest. The roles in such films as “Troy”, “Babylon”, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” were strong. One feels that the cherished figurine is about to finally fly over Brad's head. However, the nomination for the main role in the "Button" brought great disappointment. Indeed, a magnificent film, a crop of applicants for the statuette, and one of the main ones is Brad Pitt. The Oscar in black for him in 2009 went to Sean Penn for the anthem of the gay movement. But the actor does not lose heart, continuing to work painstakingly both on the set and in the production field.
Indeed, this part of the artist’s career is gaining real power. Having produced more than a dozen projects since 2006, in 2012 he received a nomination for "The Man Who Changed Everything." And as a member of the production team, and as an actor. Another rainy day for him came on February 26, 2012, when both nominations sailed from under his nose without bringing the cherished figurine.
Victory
But enormous hard work and the desire for victory sooner or later bring results. A few more roles and projects later, in 2013, he took part in producing, as well as in the filming of the magnificent film itself, which also collected a large number of nominations. As a result, three of the nine statuettes were taken by the painting "Twelve Years of Slavery." One of them allowed Brad Pitt to become a member of the Oscar-winning club.
In general, this epic tape is worth it to stay on it separately. This is a film that has gathered just countless nominations, and the awards of a variety of film academies, including American and British. There is a legend that the director of the project, Steve McQueen , did not personally approve Brad Pitt for the episodic role of a worker, but the actor appeared on the screen. In recent years, he often chooses roles far from the forefront, clearly shifting the emphasis to a career in production.
Present
Brad Pitt, "Oscar" for his acting career for which so far remains the unreached peak, continues to act in films and produce numerous projects. Among the latter include the notorious films "War of the Worlds Z", "Rage", "Cote d'Azur", "Playing for the slide." Each of them can be distinguished by something. The creative potential of the actor and producer, despite the already substantial 52 years, is clearly not fully expressed. Therefore, we will follow the career of the sexual symbol of an entire generation of fans of talent and the appearance of an outstanding artist, which Brad Pitt really is.
Oscar (the film Twelve Years of Slavery) is still the pinnacle of the assessment of his career by film academics, but this is clearly not the limit, given that he does not plan to quit acting. We just have to wait for new projects and interesting achievements from such an outstanding actor as “Brad Pitt. Oscar for which film will he receive as an actor? Not yet known. Wait and see.
