He tied up his dickie bow, buttoned up his black Valentino blazer and wore a pair of patent brogues to make sure that his look was slightly different.
Brad was sure to be excited to hear the outcome for his multi-nominated film, 12 Years A Slave.
But it was their unusual, matching ensembles which was stealing the limelight ahead of the awards announcements on Sunday evening.
And it seems that black was the colour of choice for most of the attendees, with both men and women opting to play it safe rather than stand out from the crowd.
