While America was glued to the Grammys (I'm sure somebody watched it) there was another award show going on over in Britain. The BAFTAs (British Academy Film Awards) packed a theater, too.
Mick Jagger announced the winner for best film (Slumdog Millionaire, which is what I was actually watching instead of the Grammys) and took the opportunity to practice a bit of his new stand-up routine.
From People magazine:
"Sir Anthony Hopkins is in the recording studio with Amy Winehouse," joked Jagger, "and we are hoping that next week Sir Brad and all the Pitt family will be performing The Sound of Music at the Brit awards."
Sitting in the audience with fellow nominee (for Changeling) Angelina Jolie, Pitt cracked up and applauded along with the rest of the crowd inside London's Royal Opera House.
I can see it. Angeline Jolie as Maria and Pitt as Captain von Trapp. Jennifer Aniston can play the annoying suitress and Zac Efron can have a cameo as that Hitler youth kid on the bicycle.
Mick Jagger is a freaking genius.
Start practicing your do-re-mi-fa-so-la-tis, von Pitt children.
