2009: The Year Of Brad Pitt?
2008 was the year of Kate Winslet and Robert Downey Jr and it looks like 2009 could be the year of Brad Pitt. He has two very high profile films coming out.
Up first Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino's 7th feature film. Brad Pitt stars as a WWII solider leading a suicide mission into the heart of Nazi controlled France. Inglourious Basterds is set to open at Cannes.

And there's Tree of Life, Terrence Malick's 5th feature film. Pitt stars as a disillusioned Midwesterner in the 1950's (vague, I know). Tree of Life is set for a Fall/Winter release.

I am curious which film stands the best chance of getting Oscar attention for Pitt.
Malick has a spotty record with Oscar:
Badlands - zero noms
Days of Heaven - 4 noms, 1 win
The Thin Red Line - 7 noms (including BP/BD), 0 wins
The New World - 1 nom, 0 wins
QT is even less stellar
Reservoir Dogs - zero noms
Pulp Fiction - 7 noms (including BP/BD), 1 win
Jackie Brown - 1 nom, 0 wins
Kill Bill Volume I - zero noms
Kill Bill Volume II - zero noms
Deathproof - zero noms
Sight unseen, do you think Brad Pitt stands a chance of being nominated again in the Lead Actor category, and for which film?
