Brad Pitt Calls Out Senate Republicans After Oscar Win

Brad Pitt picked up the best supporting actor Oscar Sunday and got political in his acceptance speech.

The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor began by calling out Senate Republicans for refusing to allow witnesses, particularly former National Security Advisor John Bolton, to testify in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial.

“They told me that I only had 45 seconds up here, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week,” Pitt said, before urging director Quentin Tarantino to make a film on the impeachment saga. “I’m thinking maybe Quentin does a movie about it, and in the end the adults do the right thing.”

Pitt then dedicated his award to the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood filmmaker.
