"For Amanda Seyfried, it was the film version of Romeo and Juliet — the Leo version," he said before joking, "Me too."

Was he joking, though? I mean, it's a great movie.

Maybe it was a movie that made you love movies more than you did before. If that's so, it seems like you're certainly not alone.

Anyway, Pitt awarded the Oscar to Youn Yuh-jung for her spectacular performance in Minari. Look at this photo of the two of them backstage. It's great.
