Brad Pitt and George Clooney go head to head for Best Actor Oscar

hey're both handsome, talented, superfamous and (according to IMDb) 5 feet 11.

They're both humanitarians, as well as two-time winners of People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive title.

And this year, Brad Pitt and George Clooney are both nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, which will be handed out at this Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony.

The two actors, co-stars in "Ocean's Eleven" (and "Twelve" and "Thirteen") and frequently sparring practical jokers, are also friends or at least we think they still are. Lately, gossip publications have been suggesting there is friction between them because their girlfriends, Angelina Jolie and Stacy Keibler, supposedly do not get along.

Regardless of whether Brad and George are likely to go on a double-date, they're sure to be all smiles and mutual well-wishes for the cameras at Hollywood's biggest self-salute this weekend.

Here's how the two guys stack up against each other.
