Brad Pitt Wears a Name Tag at Oscar Nominee Luncheon as He Mingles with Fellow Celebrities
Brad Pitt is just like us!
Despite his A-list status in Hollywood, the actor, 56, was photographed on Monday wearing a name tag while attending the annual Oscar Nominees Luncheon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, where this year’s nominees (Pitt included) dined and mingled before posing together for an epic photo.
Attendees are given name tags at the event, but not all opt to wear it. Pitt proudly displayed his as he was seen talking to fellow Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo. Pitt is nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, while Erivo is up for Best Actress for her work in Harriet.
Pitt is expected to win in his category following victories at the SAG Awards, Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards.
