TORONTO, Canada—“I was stunned.”
This was Pitt's reaction, when he received the news that he had won the Best Actor award in the 64th Venice Film Festival for his performance in “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.”
Pitt is here for the Toronto International Film Festival, where the same film is an entry.
The actor got the call from his producing partners who were in Venice for the awards night ceremonies just before his scheduled interview with this reporter’s group, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
Pitt, who won for his portrayal of America’s most famous outlaw, said he was with his partner, Angelina Jolie, when the call came through.
He recounted: “My first reaction was, ‘Huh?’ I did not expect it. It’s a great honor … to be part of the list of actors who won … I’m still processing this.”
