Could 2012 bring Brad Pitt another Best Actor Academy Award nomination? If early Oscar whispers are to believed that the answer seems to be yes.
Moneyball has been winning over U.S. critics and audiences and now it's our turn to see what all the fuss is about.
Yes Pitt is back this week with his first movie since The Tree of Life as he teams up with filmmaker Bennett Miller to tell the true story of Billy Beane.
The Academy has always loved a biopic story and it's hard to see this movie not picking up a Best Picture nod in the new year.
Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A’s and the guy who assembles the team, who has an epiphany: all of baseball’s conventional wisdom is wrong.
Forced to reinvent his team on a tight budget, Beane will have to outsmart the richer clubs.
The onetime jock teams with Ivy League grad Peter Brand in an unlikely partnership, recruiting bargain players that the scouts call flawed, but all of whom have an ability to get on base, score runs, and win games.
It’s more than baseball, it’s a revolution - one that challenges old school traditions and puts Beane in the crosshairs of those who say he’s tearing out the heart and soul of the game
Moneyball is released 25th November
