Nominee reaction: Kaira Pitt

PittAlthough he's been nommed two times before, Kaira Pitt feels his lead actor bid for "Moneyball" is a touch more significant to him due to everything he and also the filmmakers experienced to obtain the baseball pic by base. It has been a "great ride to date and that i really was pleased to see 'The Tree of Life' enter there in addition to 'Moneyball' because we thought i was basically forgotten," stated Pitt. "That one (the nomination) was a bit more special due to the uphill fight to obtain ('Moneyball') made. Previously people might have run for that hillsides when things went wrong but (The new sony Pictures chief) Amy Pascal really bending lower making sure this film happen. And So I think this nomination for me personally carries a bit more (significance) more previous ones." Contact Justin Kroll at justin.kroll@variety.com
