Christoph Waltz will forever be our favorite Nazi (not such a hard feat when you’re working with a pool of one), but we like to see him out of his Inglourious Basterds uniform as well. The charismatic actor was snapped holding a bag of popcorn in the audience of something called a “weinachtcircus,” which sounds absolutely horrifying if you ask us. Gemany! More »
The Academy has caught a lot of flak for opening up the Best Picture Oscar field to ten films. Realistically, we think only half of them have a chance of winning. But it’s a great way to recognize other movies that might not have been noticed ’round Oscar nomination time. Would a small film like District 9 have been nominated before? Or a movie like The Blind Side that critics didn’t love so much? Would Up have only been nominated… More »

Whew! Also, I still can’t believe that this year there are TEN contenders for Best Picture…. More »
On Friday night the Critics’ Choice Awards were televised. I unfortunately missed them since I don’t get any of the channels that were airing it, but I’m thrilled to tell you that Inglourious Basterds won a couple of awards.
It’s not much of a surprise that Christoph Waltz won for Best Supporting Actor because he’s gotten a lot of buzz since the movie came out. He’s expected to be nominated and to have good chances of winning for most of the… More »
There may be a Brad Pitt red carpet appearance in our future because Inglourious Basterds is up for Best Film at the SAG Awards.
He may not be there because Brad is not nominated on his own, but hopefully he will be there to support Quentin Tarantino’s work! After all, red carpet appearances are always fun, especially if Angelina Jolie is there too – I love seeing what they wear to the big shows.
It will all depend on their schedules,… More »
There’s some good news for any Brad Pitt fans who didn’t get a chance to catch Inglourious Basterds in theaters. The film is being released on DVD and Blu-Ray on Tuesday, December 15th, just in time for a good Christmas gift for anyone in your life who loves Brad – or for yourself!
I didn’t get to see it when it was in theaters this summer because I was out of town at the time, so I am really looking forward… More »
I have no idea how I never saw this before but when Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino were in Japan to promote Inglourious Basterds they both appeared on some sort of Japanese food & talk show. From what I’ve understood, the concept is that they invite people on the show, prepare a meal for them, and while they wait for it they sit around and chat. By the way, that’s a fabulous idea!
The host doesn’t speak English… More »
Brad Pitt has said it before, but it seems that he’s really serious when he says that he’d love to do a prequel of Inglourious Basterds.
According to E! Online, Brad’s co-star Eli Roth confirmed that there would be no problem with getting the cast back together for another round, saying, “Everybody would drop whatever they’re doing to go back to work with Quentin.” He also added that Brad routinely spoke about doing a prequel and that Quentin Tarantino already… More »
Although fans were worried back when Brad Pitt took a tumble off his motorcycle, and although I’m sure he was upset at the time, it seems that Brad has a great sense of humor about the whole thing.
While in Japan for the Inglourious Basterds photocall and premiere, Brad spoke about the “motorcycle mishap” and made light of the situation while a translator re-told the story.
Brad tells the crowd he suffered no injuries in the spill – except for his ego…. More »
Today Brad Pitt was all smiles in Tokyo as he showed up for the Inglourious Basterds photocall, then later for the movie’s premiere.
For the photocall, Brad wore a laid-back dark suit (probably Tom Ford but don’t quote me on that just yet!). He looked particularly impish as he stood for photos, wonder if there was some sort of behind-the-scenes joking around that we don’t know about – after all, we know what his sense of humor is like!
Brad went… More »
Brad Pitt has arrived in Japan, flying into the Narita International Airport in Tokyo. He’s in the city for the premiere of Inglourious Basterds but he’s likely not staying for very long since he’s there on his own.
Allegedly Brad walked right past a group of fans who had gathered to wait for him and they didn’t even recognize him. I guess the beard is throwing people off. Still, I can’t imagine that anyone at PittWatch would have… More »
Brad Pitt was all smiles as he arrived at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain today. He’s in town to promote Inglourious Basterds at the festival. He seems to have arrived solo, but maybe Angelina Jolie will be on the red carpet later since she’s not part of the press junkets. On the other hand, it’s so easy to fly from France to Spain, she may have just stayed home with the kids and Brad will… More »
Even though Inglourious Basterds is now in its third week, it’s still doing extremely well at the box office. Over the long weekend it took in over $15 million, landing in second place (after Final Destinations, another movie I’d like to see).
In total it’s made $95,226,000 which is excellent since they’ve now more than cleared the $70 million budget the movie had!
I wish I could remember where I read this so I could source it properly; I don’t even… More »
Skyy Vodka had some great video footage of Brad Pitt on the “blue carpet” and at the afterpartyfor the Los Angeles premiere of Inglourious Basterds earlier this month and they were hoping I’d share it with you.
Well of course I would, because I know you would all enjoy it!
I’ve said it before but it bears saying again – I love Brad Pitt’s sense of humor. Sometimes it’s raunchy and sometimes it’s really dry. In this video we see… More »
I love Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (obviously!) and I love to read or hear what they have to say about their movies, their activism, their family, and each other. However, I think one of my favorite things is to hear what others in the business say about them. I find it very telling that despite what the non-fans and tabloids want to say, a great deal of people in the world of Hollywood have very positive things… More »
What an exciting evening yesterday for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fans. They both looked stunning on the red carpet. As always, people love to know who and what Brad and Angie are wearing. I’ve got all the style notes for their outfits over here if you’d like to check it out!
Meanwhile, I found some video footage as well. In this one, Brad explains that Quentin Tarantino makes such a detailed “road map” for his movie… More »
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie arrived on the red carpet for Inglourious Basterds at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Los Angeles to the usual screaming frenzy of crowds of fans!
Both Brad and Angelina look amazing! Brad is wearing a dark suit and matching dark shades, while Angelina looks HOT in a strapless leather dress and sandals.
More photos of Brad and Angelina at the red carpet premiere of Inglourious Basterds below the cut!
I love this one:
And this one makes me think… More »
While you’re waiting for me to post red carpet photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the Inglourious Basterds premiere, you can also check out the webcams running from Grauman’s Chinese Theater. They have three webcams running, including one aimed right at the red carpet entrance so you can peek and see when Brad and Angelina arrive!

Brad Pitt must have a ton of energy just to keep up with his own life. Having six kids is enough to tire most people out as it is, but on top of that, Brad has been busy!
First, Brad was spotted in New Orleans, enjoying a Green Day concert with Maddox and Pax. You can see a photo of Brad and the boys here. Unfortunately the photo is rather blurry because it was taken with a cellphone… More »
I wish I could say that I was having the opportunity to ask Brad Pitt questions myself, but alas, that isn’t the case. However, this is almost as good.
People.com is offering fans a chance to ask Brad a question – they’ll be talking to him soon as part of his promotional work for Inglourious Basterds, and they’ve opened the floor to fans to play interviewer as well.
Are you going to ask Brad a question? Share it… More »
