I don't know, to me Brad Pitt is simply not a good actor, regardless of how much he's trying to get us to believe it. He just chews the scenery whenever he's trying to seriously act in a lead role. He's a far better supporting actor, IMO. Moneyball was a good performance
for him, but it wasn't anything special in the grand scheme of things.
I mean, I understand why people who are more familiar with Jean Dujardin wouldn't be pleased with him winning, and yeah his filmography does look to be a bit corny. However, I find the idea of a non pedigreed actor winning (clearly he's not been taking Oscar bait roles like DiCaprio, Pitt and Clooney for most of his career) to be refreshing, I really don't believe in actors being awarded for their past work. His role wasn't the most groundbreaking role, but I really can't see any living American actor being able to pull that role off.
