Dear Gossips,
We’ve been saying for weeks that this looks like the most competitive Oscar race in years across all categories and as more and more film associations and critics’ boards announce their winners and nominations lists, so far, while there are certainly stronger contenders than others, there does not seem to be consensus, which of course makes it that much more unpredictable.

Brad Pitt was last at the Golden Globes in January 2017 as a presenter. I don’t remember seeing him seated at a table though. He may have walked through the ballroom but there were no cutaways of him during the broadcast. It was four months after he and Angelina Jolie announced their divorce. He and Angelina, of course, were in the ballroom, and seated, a few times during their relationship. Full Story
