Brad's Oscar Winning Performance?

Could Brad Pitt's role in Babel win him an Oscar? Cate Blanchette seems to think so. She said of her co-star who plays her husband in the movie that he is "a brilliant risk taker as an actor, and it's a testament to his versatility that he is constantly being rediscovered."

I am a big fan of Brangelina so I really hope that he does win the Oscar.
