Ahead of awards season kicking off, Pitt revealed in an interview withEntertainment Weeklythat he has no interest in campaigning for Oscar nominations for his roles in Quentin Tarantino’sOnce Upon a Time… in Hollywoodand James Gray’sAd Astra.
“Oh, man. I’m gonna abstain,” he told the outlet.
“I mean, you never know, and it’s really nice when your number comes up,” he added. “But the goal is for the film to land, to speak to someone whether it’s now or a decade from now. I find chasing it actually a disservice to the purity of your telling a story, and a shackling thing to focus on.”
Pitt earnedrave reviewsfor his performance as Cliff Booth in the Tarantino film, which marked his second collaboration with the director (their first was with 2009’sInglourious Basterds).It was also his first film in two years, having last appeared in the 2017 Netflix dramaWar Machine.
