Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie both thrilled over Golden Globe nods (Discussion Thread)

According to Entertainment Tonight, Angelina Jolie is honored to be nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in Changeling. She is quoted as saying:

“I am honored to be nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press in a category with so many extraordinary women. What an amazing experience, having the opportunity to work with Clint Eastwood on a film I care so deeply about.”

Meanwhile, Brad Pitt is equally pleased with his nomination and those of his movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, saying:

“I am pleased to be nominated for this award and would like to also congratulate David [Fincher], Eric [Roth] and Alexandre [Desplat] on their nominations. We’re all very proud of the film and thankful to the Hollywood Foreign Press for recognizing our work.”

Here’s a discussion topic to tide us over for the upcoming weekend: Who, in your opinion, is the biggest competition for each of them in the best actor/best actress categories?

Even though Meryl Streep is a world class icon in the acting world, I think that Angelina’s biggest competition is actually Anne Hathaway – to me, she is the one to beat.

Meanwhile, it’s hard for me to guess the biggest source of competition for Brad. Although I’m not personally too crazy about him, I think Leonardo DiCaprio could be the one to beat, but Sean Penn could be as well.

What are your thoughts?
