During his speech, Pitt also got political, calling out the Trump impeachment trial for blocking the testimony of former national security adviser John Bolton.

[The Duke]

Great, another actor to put on my black list.

And I've still got plenty of room on the list. All I need is the slightest excuse not to consume their content.

[School of Rational Thought]

Bolton said he would testify if subpoenaed. Dems withdrew their subpoena. It was the Dems choice.

Typical Dem

Brad Pitt was fired by his ex father in law.Jon Voight, a good guy

[trebb]

Who cares who writes any of their speeches or even that such ‘awards’ exist?

[Pearls Before Swine]

They all have political writers for their speeches now.

After all, they are all actors, who recite scripts in an animated fashion. That's what they do.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

A great writer. I wish I had started reading him sooner.

[1Old Pro]

He complains that he has only 45 seconds, so as an actor instead of talking about acting like he should, he attempts to impress the glitterati and the joke bombs to deafening silence - poor judgement, total idiot.

[DoughtyOne]

He fell for the smoke and mirrors.

Give the knaves a reason to support you, even if it makes no sense at all. It’ll often work, they’ll remain your knaves.

[cloudmountain]

I guess we have cut Pitt some slack. He was an admitted pot head throughout the 90s and more recently, a drunk who finally checked into AA. In other words, he’s a stupid drunk. Well, certainly still stupid.

He sure wasn't hired because of his brains.
