Brad Pitt Talks About Oscar Nom in Paris

"The Insider" was in Paris where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- both nominated today for Academy Awards -- delighted crowds at the French premiere of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.'

Brad and Angelina spent a lot of time mingling with the crowd in Paris, posing for photographs and signing autographs for fans. Click the video to hear how the star couple planned to celebrate their Oscar noms!
