Brad Pitt Roasts Pal Bradley Cooper Over Oscar Directing Snub: “He’s Used To It. He’s a Philadelphia Eagles Fan” – Watch

Brad Pitt was in top form last night as he presented honoree Bradley Cooper Bwith the Outstanding Performer of the Year Award during the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

First, he poked fun at the Academy’s seeming scattershot nominations this year for Cooper and Maestro.

“Bradley’s nominated for three [Oscars] for producer, writer, actor,” Pitt observed before quipping of Cooper’s directing effort on the film, “apparently the movie directed itself.”

He then continued on and hit Cooper where it hurts.

“If it’s not [his year to win],” said Pitt, “Bradley’s ok. He’s Fine. He’s used to it. He’s a Philadelphia Eagles fan.”

The midwest-raised Pitt then pumped his fist and mouthed “Go Chiefs!”

The bit got big laughs from the audience and a joking rejoinder from Cooper offstage..

“Man, that’s f*cked up!” he shouted.
