Brad Pitt was the toast of the SAG Awards after winning best supporting actor on Sunday and reuniting with his ex wife Jennifer Aniston.
But there’s one person who might not be celebrating his triumphant night: his other ex wife, Angelina Jolie.
The 56-year-old appeared to take unprecedented jabs at the Maleficent actress and the mother of his six children.

In a speech sure to rile Jolie, he hinted at tension during their marriage and revealed his plans to use his Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award win to improve his dating life.
The actor scooped Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for his work on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ahead of Jamie Foxx (Just Mercy), Tom Hanks (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood) and The Irishman’s Al Pacino and Joe Pesci and joked as he got on stage on Sunday he’d be boasting about it on dating apps.
Taking to the stage at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium, he quipped: ‘I got to add this to my Tinder profile.’
And Brad – who has been open about his struggles with alcoholism – also joked about the similarities between his character and his own failed marriage to Angelina.
He said: ‘Let’s be honest, it was a difficult part – a guy who gets high, takes his shirt off and doesn’t get on with his wife. It was a big stretch. It’s big.’

At this point, the camera panned to his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, who was sitting in the audience, appearing amused by his remarks.
But that wasn’t all.
In a move likely to rub salt in the wound, Brad was pictured reuniting with Jennifer backstage.
The pair, who both won awards that evening, looked elated as they congratulated each other for their new honors.
Jennifer was seen with her hands placed gently upon her ex as they smiled and briefly held hands during their chat.
Brad even watched Jennifer accept her award from a screen backstage.
The actor said ‘wow’ as she was announced the winner of Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series.
Brad’s marriage to Jennifer lasted for five years before they announced they were divorcing in early 2005 – which came after he had met Angelina on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith.

In October 2008, Angelina told The New York Times that her children loved Mr & Mrs Smith because: ‘Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love.’
However, the actress always maintained that they were nothing more than friends until after Pitt and Aniston announced they were divorcing.
Brad and Angelina spent years together before finally marrying in 2014 at their Château Miraval in France.
During their relationship, they built quite the large family, sharing sons Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, daughters Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
However, the marriage was short-lived.
Just two years after tying the knot, Angelina filed for divorce, triggering a bitter custody battle.
The actress filed for divorce from Brad after he allegedly got into an argument with their son Maddox on board a plane.
Brad was accused of child abuse but, following weeks of extensive investigations carried out by social services, he was cleared of the allegations and the case was closed.

His heavy drinking was also reportedly a factor and Brad admitted he entered Alcoholics Anonymous after the split.
The exes went on to endure a long and nasty custody dispute and fought over money.
They are now understood to share joint custody of their children, however Brad reportedly remains estranged from Maddox.
A few weeks ago, Brad joked his personal life had become a ‘disaster.’
‘I’m just trash mag fodder,’ he said on the WTF podcast with Marc Maron. ‘Because of my disaster of a personal life, most likely.’
Jennifer is back on the market after splitting from her husband Justin Theroux in 2017, and fans have been rooting for the actress to reconcile with Brad since then.
Though Brad attended her 50th birthday party last year and have been in proximity this awards season, there is nothing romantic going on between them, TMZ reported.

Clearly, they have remained friendly.
Jennifer invited Brad to her Christmas tree-trimming party, where sources told ET Online they ‘didn’t have much interaction.’
‘They’ve come so far since their marriage and plan to stay friends for life,’ a source told Entertainment Tonight. ‘There are truly no hard feelings between them… They both realize that anytime they cross paths people talk about a reunion.
‘He came on his own and quietly entered the party. They had heavy security, kept a ban on social media, and hoped for the best.’
Brad recently said he was open to running into his ex.
‘I’ll run into Jen, she’s a good friend. Yeah,’ he told ET Online at the Golden Globes.
‘The second most important reunion of her year? I understand. That was a play on Friends. They were saying that,’ he said, referring to Jennifer and her former Friends co-stars, Reese Witherspoon and Christina Applegate.
