Brad Pitt is thrilled with his Oscar nomination for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, because he will compete against his idols Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke.(Video)

Brad Pitt has been given a nod in the Best Actor category at this year's Academy Awards for his portrayal of a man who ages backwards. Pitt competes against Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon), Sean Penn (Milk), Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler) and Richard Jenkins (The Visitor) for the greatly desired statue.

And Pitt couldn't be more delighted with his competitors - because Penn and Rourke were the "gods" he looked up to when he started making Movies.

He tells a British TV Show, "When I started out, my gods, so to speak, were Gary Oldman, Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke, so it's a real honor for me to be sitting at the same table."
