The Golden Globe nominations will be announced this Thursday, and one person Miss Predicto is sure will be watching in anticipation is Brad Pitt. Maybe you’ve heard about this new movie he has out, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button? He ages backwards–he starts out as a wrinkled old baby, and as the years pass he gets younger and younger looking.

If only we could all age that way, right? No? Just moi?

Anyway, this is the first time in a LONG time that Brad has a chance to win Best Actor honors for one of his roles. In fact, it might be has last time. Brad is awesomely cute–but that’s his problem. It’s hard in Hollywood to be considered both beefcake and serious thespian. His pal and fellow Sexiest Man Alive George Clooney won an Oscar by putting on fifty pounds and mangy beard for Syriana.

Basically to win a prestigious acting award, you got to ugly yourself up. (Other examples of beautiful Oscar winners getting ugly : Charlize Theron as the monstrous-looking serial killer in Monster; Nicole Kidman and her huge prosthetic nose as Virginia Woolf in The Hours.) Why else would Brad portray a elderly-looking teenager? (See pic at left.)

Brad’s problem is that he’s best known for being beautiful, and even old age makeup can’t really hide that. Plus, no one cares about his movie career anymore, especially in comparison to his tabloid-heaven relationship with Angelina Jolie.

Brad’s only won one major award, a Golden Globe for playing a crazy, spastic (but still cute!) mental patient in 12 Monkeys back in 1996. So will his attempt at uglying himself up get him another Golden Globe nomination? The Predicto Mobile community thinks so: 81% voted that Brad Pitt will be nominated for Golden Globe for best actor on 12/11.

Good luck Brad! And if you get nominate for a Globe, who knows, maybe you’ll get nominated for an Oscar too!

UPDATE: He received the nomination, and so did Angelina for Changeling! Just when you think those two can’t get any more perfect…
