On Friday we learned that Brad Pitt was finally able to win an award statue after he endured a disappointing awards season this year. As you may recall, Brad was nominated for Best Actor in all of the major film award contests (including the Academy Awards) and he ended up losing every single one of them. As a result, AXE deodorant body spray decided that Brad deserved an award of their making for his efforts this year … his very own chocolate statue likeness:

Brad Pitt has a reason to smile despite losing out on the Best Actor Oscar on Sunday – he’s been sent a solid dark chocolate bust in his likeness as a consolation prize from deodorant brand Axe. The Hollywood star was nominated for an Academy Award his role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button but lost out to Sean Penn for his performance in Milk. Bosses at Axe decided to reward Pitt with a statuette of his own – and the sweet treat, to promote their new Dark Temptation fragrance, weighed in at a whopping 10 pounds. An accompanying note read: “We still feel your performance deserves a statue, one that’s a bit sweeter.”

LOL! This is a great award … and plenty big enough for all of the Brangelina kids to enjoy as well. As you may or may not know, AXE offers a deodorant body spray that smells like chocolate (and they’ve got one helluva freaky commercial on the air right now) and this statue is in honor of that as well. Congrats Brad! You finally win!! Now he has the bragging rights in the Brangelina household since his pseudowife Angelina Jolie (who lost all of her award nominations this year) remains the sole award loser for the 2008-2009 awards season in their home.
