Brad Pitt gave a special shout-out to his "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" costar, Leonardo DiCaprio, at the 2020 Golden Globes.
Pitt won best actor in a supporting role in any motion picture for his portrayal of stuntman Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino's lauded ninth film — and made sure to thank his "partner in crime," whom he christened with a charming new nickname.
"I also have to thank my partner in crime, LDC," Pitt said. "I used to watch, year after year, his costars accept awards and get up and thank him profusely. I know why. He's an all-star, he's a gent — and I wouldn't be here without you, man. Thank you."

Pitt also made a joke about the infamous ending of "Titanic," when DiCaprio's character drowns while his lover floats safely on a broken door.
"Still, I would've shared the raft," Pitt said, to laughter and applause from the audience.

Brad Pitt just referred to Leo as LDC then worked in an “I would’ve shared the raft” joke. Crushed that acceptance.
