Brad Pitt got emotional accepting his first Oscar for acting

Brad Pitt just checked off another first in his long and celebrated career by winning Best Supporting Actor for his role as Cliff Booth in Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood. Pitt has been a big winner throughout this award show season and we’ve all been winners for getting to hear his joke-filled speeches, but Pitt took a break from his lighthearted commentary and got emotional on Sunday night for the monumental win.Presenter Regina King announced Pitt as the first winner during Sunday night’s telecast. Sitting in the first row, Pitt’s immediate order of business was to hug co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, who he thanked in his speech. Thankfully skipping the LDC (we never got used to that) and going with Leo this time, Pitt told his leading man “I’ll ride on your coattails any day, man. The view is fantastic.”
