Brad Pitt is in talks to be a presenter at Sunday’s Golden Globes, Page Six has learned. And he’ll give away one of the night’s top honors.
Other presenters who’ve been confirmed to appear this year, we can also exclusively reveal, include comic Kevin Hart and “Telenovela” star Eva Longoria.
Insiders further said Pitt’s agreement to present at the ceremony from LA’s Beverly Hilton was struck Tuesday night. But another insider said he still needs to work out some travel plans to make it to there on time. Getting Pitt to present is a coup for the show, to be hosted by Ricky Gervais.
While Pitt’s not nominated for his role in “The Big Short,” the movie’s up for best motion picture — comedy or musical, best screenplay, and Pitt’s co-stars Steve Carell and Christian Bale have acting nominations.
But a source pointed out, “Brad is a nominee — he’s a producer of ‘The Big Short’ — so he will be there on behalf of the film.” It’s been tipped as an Oscar Best Picture dark horse.
Pitt spent the holidays in Thailand with his family while wife Angelina Jolie took a break from her latest project in Cambodia.
He’s next starring in a big-budget, untitled Robert Zemeckis spy thriller with Marion Cotillard.
Pitt and Jolie’s “By the Sea” was snubbed by the Golden Globes this year. Reps for Pitt, Paramount and the Globes had no comment.
A source said Tom Hanks could be another top presenter.
