South Korean dark comedy Parasite has continued its remarkable awards season run as it emerged victorious at the Oscars.
And the Best Picture Oscar goes to . . . “Parasite.”
One of the highlights of this year’s awards season has been Brad Pitt’s acceptance speeches for his performance in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”
Brad Pitt wasn't at the BAFTAs last night, but he won Best Supporting Actor and had his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood co-star Margot Robbie deliver his acceptance speech for him. (Pitt could not attend due to family obligations, although a source close to Pitt reassured Cosmopolitan UK that "nothing serious happened.")

Prince William and Kate Middleton couldn’t help but laugh at Brad Pitt’s joke about Megxit.
What an awards season for Brad Pitt! His performance as Cliff Booth in Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood is bringing him joy not only professionally but also personally.
