Brad Pitt would like the world to know that no matter how much praise he's getting for the movies he has out, he will ~~not~~ be pimping himself out during awards season

"But the goal is for the film to land, to speak to someone, whether it’s now or a decade from now. I find chasing it actually a disservice to the purity of your telling a story, and a shackling thing to focus on.”

That and Brad already won one for producing 12 Years a Slave lol. I remember he looked really happy when he was given his award so yeah okay Brad.

Most celebs seem to chill on the Oscar bait films and campaigning after they've won one.

leo legit took 3 years off acting after he won his oscar, so you know what his goal was (as if it wasn't blindingly obvious)

[genbu_no_miko24]

Yep. Leo was Oscar-baiting ever since Catch Me If You Can/Gangs of New York (2002) up until he won in 2015. That was a 13 year campaign strategy!

I don't even think he's baiting as hard with OUATIH compared to the past. Kate Winslet even seem to take a break on Oscar-baity films after she won.

oh yeah you can tell leo does not give a fuck anymore. seems like he'd rather do environmental docs than anything else

[evett]

things you'll never hear leo say...

but seriously even saying shit like this is a form of campaigning. so humble.

He already has an Oscar so I doubt he really does care if he ever gets another one

Oh thank God, one less white guy in the Oscar race.

[littlebones]

is this not also campaigning?

[masterofmystery]

you know people will argue 'BUT HE WAS ASKED ABOUT IT!!!' like pfft, as if he won't be out there come december

[_xxtom]

Lmao right?

He's doing the festival circuit, he was at Venice and TIFF, he was on Ellen already, he's on the cover of GQ with an interview and a video--the only thing he hasn't done is the Hollywood Reporter round table with other actors.

All the rest of it is the definition of campaigning. What does he think campaigning involves?
