Brad Pitt was named best supporting actor for “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood," Quentin Tarantino's bloody fairy tale of 1960s Los Angeles at the British awards, known as BAFTAs, in London on Sunday.

He didn’t attend, but sent a jokey acceptance speech, read out by his co-star Margot Robbie

“Hey Britain - heard you just became single. Welcome to the club,” he said - one of several references during the ceremony to the UK’s exit from the European Union, which became official on Friday.

Pitt also referenced recent tumult in Britain’s royal family, saying he was going to name the trophy Harry, "because he’s really excited about bringing it back to the States with him."
