Christoph Waltz Wins Best Supporting Actor

Christoph Waltz won the first Oscar of the night for his role in Inglourious Basterds. Waltz and Mo’Nique from Precious have won everything before Oscar night and so it’s not that much of a surprise that Waltz won.

In Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds the dynamic Waltz portrayed Standartenführer Hans Landa aka “The Jew Hunter.”

Basterds is World War II film thats also stars Brad Pitt, Waltz, Eli Roth and Mélanie Laurent. It centers on two different plots to assassinate the Nazi Germany political leadership, one planned by a young French Jewish cinema proprietor (Laurent), and the other by a team of Jewish Allied soldiers led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Pitt).

‘Inglourious Basterds’ Cast Mum on Brad Pitt’s Whereabouts at SAG Awards

Brad Pitt missed Inglourious Basterds winning a SAG award but the cast of the Basterds was mum about why Pitt wasn’t there.

Since the news broke about a possible Brangelina split and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie signing separation papers, it makes sense that Brad Pitt was a no-show for the SAG Awards last night.

At the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Inglourious Basterds took home the award for Best Ensemble Cast in a Feature Film. Fox News reports that there was awkward silence from the cast when a reporter asked why Brad Pitt wasn’t there:

After happily chirping about the fact that director Quentin Tarantino was probably downstairs “getting drunk,” how they watched Brad Pitt the night before in Clooney’s Haiti Telethon and how much they all like each other, the cast suddenly fell silent when Pop Tarts asked why Mr. Pitt wasn’t present at the special ceremony.

“You’ve got Jacky Ido (a fellow cast member) all the way from France,” Eli Roth eventually said to break the awkward silence.
