Hollywood BFFs, Oscar Rivals

George Clooney vs. Brad Pitt! Jack Nicholson vs. Marlon Brando! See how the Academy has a long history of pitting pals against each other

GEORGE VS. BRAD

Best Actor, 2012
The merry pranksters have been in and out of each other's lives – and movies – for years, so it only seemed a matter of time before swooning fans of the A-listers would have to choose between charming man-about-town George Clooney (up for The Descendants) and the handsomest man in the world, pal Brad Pitt (up for Moneyball). Whoever wins, you can be sure there'll be a practical joke coming out of it somehow.
