The 2012 list of Oscar Nominations for Best Actor is swoonworthy, with some of the most charismatic, appealing men up for the gold. Nominated for his role as Billy Beane, the general manger of the Oakland A’s in the movie Moneyball, is the man known for his extreme talent in suit wearing abilities, Brad Pitt.
This is his fourth Academy Award nomination. He has also been nominated for 5 Golden Globes, but has yet to go home with Oscar.
Silly Oscar, what is he thinking.
How does Brad Pitt feel about being considered for Best Actor by the Academy for a fourth time? Shortly after the nominations were announced, the 48-year-old actor phoned the “Today Show,” telling hosts Matt Lauer and Ann Curry:
We’re celebrating with Angelina, and the kids, “pancakes for everyone!”
Should Brad not snag the World’s Most Famous Award this time around, I’d like to suggest a few Brad-worthy categories where the man would take home every single little gold statue:
Best Face
Best Vampire
Best Man with Blonde Hair
Best Hot Married Guy
Best Hot Not Married Guy
Best Hot Baby Daddy
Best at Looking Sexy While Smoking
Best So Handsome He’s Almost Pretty
Best Most Beautiful Individual Natural Lip Line
Brad Pitt, you’d get every single vote on this planet, and even some from outer space.
And, for the record, Angelina? We all know why you’ve had that smile on since 2005. Yeah, we broke the code for “pancakes for everyone!”

Brad needs to shave and cut his hair. I’m sorry but at this point I’d take George Clooney over him. Now I’m starting to feel old.
Alexandra
01/31/2012
NO!!!!
NO!!
Try him again, really…you didn’t stop breathing when he popped on his motorcycle in Benjamin Button?
Or his thighs in Troy??
I just can’t accept this…

Brian, I couldn’t find a picture of you, or yes…it was originally a post about you, Most Handsome Man also Most Romantic Poem Writer in the world.
Your wife is a lucky, lucky woman.

Meh – he’s ok. George Clooney? yes… yes… YES. (oh.. sorry… *blush*)
Another option? Gerard Butler. Maybe not up for an Oscar… but definitely Oscar-worthy.
New Category!
Best take-me-to-bed accent.
Alexandra

No, it has to be the Brad Pitt.
Rent Troy…then come talk to me.
Seriously.
Thanks for stopping in, so good to see you. Always.

I have to say…Brad’s not swoonworthy in my book.
Go figure.
But your post – it definitely is!
Alexandra
01/31/2012
Who DO you like, Anna?
Please don’t say Steve Colbert…I have a feeling he floats your boat.
Thanks for stopping by, you made me smile.

George’s my guy…Brad was awesome in Moneyball though. Hope he wins. “Pancakes” my rear!!!
Alexandra
01/31/2012
He WAS so awesome in Moneyball.
He gets better and better.
He will be one sexy old man.
I like them out of their 40′s….
Thank you for stopping by.

Yep I am picking George too. Brad is skeeving me out these days.
Alexandra
01/31/2012
No way.
George?
He just is so irritating to me.
I don’t know why…he gets on my nerves. It’s like he knows he’s perfect.
Brad seems shyer and less secure.
Yes, my celebrity crushes are multi layered and well thought out.
Thanks so much for coming by, Brittany. I appreciate it.

Eh.
Now Jean Dujardin. I hope HE wins.
Alexandra

That’s b/c you’re a thinking woman crusher.
I go for the first gut effect: and he makes me feel like I just got off a merry go round.
How are you, lovely lady??

I am still mad at him for dumping gwyneth paltrow for Jennifer aniston!!!
Alexandra
01/31/2012
BUT if you weren’t mad?
Is he a simmering volcano?
Oh yes he is.

If I weren’t married….
I’d eat pancakes with Brad.
Or Angelina.
What?
I’m an equal-opportunity carb-lover.
Especially in the morning.
No code-cracking necessary.
Alexandra
01/31/2012
I just love finding euphemisms in everything: eat pancakes, weed the garden, roll out the red carpet.

Love you, lady…thank you so much for coming over.
anna see
01/31/2012
i’ll never think about pancakes the same way again.
Alexandra
01/31/2012
AWESOME!!
I have made you snicker from here on out when your husband shouts “WHO WANTS PANCAKES??!”
Nothing makes me happier than to know I made you smile. Really, NOTHING.

Love your post, Alexandra. See, I’m with you on the Brad love… BUT that man has GOT to cut some of the hair. For the love. The chiseled face loses its touch when it’s hidden with all those wild locks. That being said, I’d never kick him out of my bed or anything.
And Clooney is right up there, too. I wish there was a way we could order a Pitt/Clooney sandwich. Mmmmm…
Alexandra
01/31/2012
No, Char…you need to explain Clooney to me.
I don’t get it.
He always looks…you know, tired.
Like he needs hormones or something…

At the risk of being kicked off your blog…I have to say jimmy Fallon entertains me so much more, and therefore lands higher on my sexy list! I love George too! I am so sorry!
Alexandra
01/31/2012
What?
No no no no.
You are confusing personality with looks.
Yes, Jimmy Fallon has the smartliness and the wit, but it’s Brad who is the one and only and never to be again.
So glad and happy you stopped over so I could clarify.
Close call.
xo
Thanks for always being so supportive, really.

I’m a straight man, but even I would bend that line for Brad :-p
But now I’m thinking about pancakes with Angelina . . . .

Good Lord that man is beeyootiful.
So’s his wife.
Funny, am craving a sandwich all of a sudden.

I’d take Brad’s pancakes any day!

HAHAHAHA… yeah, Brad Pitt’s one fine-looking specimen, that one
I went GAGA over his role in Legends of the Fall (cue in: oohh aaaah).
BUT!!! Yep, there’s a but there. Not to say that I’m going cougar, but I disagree that he’s the best looking vampire. Yes. I’m a Twi mom right here. So RPattz it is!
… er, we’re still friends, right? LOL

He differently has my vote.
I have a friend who owns and operates a large hot air ballon in Paris and was there to arrange the family flight. He was very touched by the fact that they used the balloon flight to get away from it all and be an ordinary family. It changed his whole view of fame and of them.
