I’m thinking maybe Quentin does a movie about it, in the end the adults do the right thing,” Pitt added, referencing the former National Security Advisor. Leonardo DiCaprio Says Being Nominated for Oscars ‘Never Feels the Same’ He then went on to praise his Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood director. “This really is about Quentin Jerome Tarantino, you are original, you are one of a kind,” Pitt said. “The film industry would be a much dryer place without you and I, and I love the ethos you gave Cliff Booth. Look for the best in people expect the worst. But look for the best,” Pitt continued, tacking on his appreciation for his costar Leonardo DiCaprio. “Leo, I’ll ride on your coattails any day man. The view is fantastic.” The 92nd Annual Academy Awards are airing live on ABC from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Feb. 9.
