Tuesday’s Oscar nominations announcement presented the usual blend of sure things, sweet surprises and shocking snubs. But one of the juiciest competitions to officially emerge was that between George Clooney’s The Descendants and Brad Pitt’s Moneyball. Both films are up for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay, while both actors are up for the coveted Best Actor Oscar.

It’s an exciting showdown—not only because they each delivered a solid performance, but because Clooney and Pitt are good friends. And while the pals are renowned for being handsome, debonair and gracious, they’re also credited with having wicked senses of humour. Clooney in particular is known for his prankster antics, and recent comments from the star indicate that Brad Pitt might want to watch his back as the Oscars race heats up.

"I have done some horrible things to people. Truly, truly horrible," Clooney, 50, admitted on Bravo’s "Inside the Actors Studio" [via People]. "I'm working on one right now for Brad Pitt. It might end his career." 

"I've been working on it for two years," he continued. "I'm not going to tell you what it is, but just know, I got it."

Of course, Clooney didn’t specifically state that he’d be pranking his pal at the Oscars, but one can only hope.  Let’s face it: for all the status it confers, the Oscars ceremony is Hollywood’s most glamourous yawn-fest, and it would be a welcome relief if George Clooney could insert a little levity into the proceedings.

Smarten up Brad Pitt, your mouth looks like you just stepped off the set of Planet of the Apes! ...and whats with that lil white zestfully clean hand pointing at George Loonie. Is Angelina Vaselina standing behind you with her hand down your sleeve pointing at Loonie Clooney Tunes wishfully pretending shes pointing a gun?

In regards to the last paragraph about George of the Jungle Goonie, l hope he INSERTS A LITTLE LEVITY with that Oscar (meyer wiener) up his Brutus Buttcakes! and runs off the stage screaming like a flaming homer!

Emma has been around the block so many times she makes a street walker look like a saint...seriously she is one trashy broad...probably smokes and has children by 9 different guys in her double wide..sooooo tragic

oh my MR RIGHT you are hilarious soooooo funny

Hmm, I think Emma hit the nail right on the head on all points ... no? .. Mr. R. LOL!

Clooney should have better taste .. Pitt turns my stomach.

The pranking nonsense, imo, shows a lack of maturity, a mind that didn't quite mature properly and is still in the school playground ... it will be mildly interesting to see what Mr. Clooney grows up to be.

Bill go take a pill and chill. Cloonie rhymes with Loonie you idiot. Mr Right +2 Bill 0 Emma -1

Who cares how u spell his name, say something intelligent mr teacher or you wont get an apple from moi!

Emma you are a sheep ready for the slaughter, dont be so naive. PS l am much better looking then George Clooney as well as many others out there his age. Guys know what guys are up to and thinking, you are a target l can tell. l know that Clooneys ex girlfriends are glad its over, and they have signed waivers to keep quite about their true feelings. Wake up my Emma, or do you need an enema for that!

How do you spell Clooney and his little gags ...looser

@Mr Right - a tright jealous are we of George's gorgeous looks (yes, even as he gets older) his money, his fabulous sense of humour & wit. The women leave HIM you say?? Think again friend, he doesn't want to get married dear and after apx. 2 yrs. the girls get ancy & want to. What the hell are u talking about whether he is good in bed or not.....again a little envious are we??

If Loonie Cloonie wins an Oscar they better give him one with a chastity belt on it as he will surely take it to bed with him...after he looks in the mirror again and says...dam, lm the purdiest person in the world. In reality he will only end up as an aging wife beater when he cant have his way. In 10 years he will become a drunk has-bin chasing little girls around the block in his Richard Simmons workout panties sporting a Justin Beiber toupee.

George Clooney hangs around Brad Pitt because Pitt is everything Clooney wanted to be and never will, in bed or out. No wonder women leave George Clooney, hes to busy having sex with his mirror to save a buck.

Tim,no senseof humour.Must be a lonely ole man.

The Oscars can be as bad as the career ending writter of the Peoples Choice...what grade school rubbish.

it looks like the two want to play hockey tonsil in this picture
