Brad Pitt cracked some jokes when he won the best supporting actor Golden Globe for his role in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."

First, he thanked his "partner in crime," whom he called "LDC" -- co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.

Before DiCaprio won his first Oscar in 2016 for "The Revenant," the "Titanic" star had gone year after year without a win -- and Pitt said "year after year his costars" would "accept awards and get up and thank him profusely."

"I know why -- he's an all-star, he's a gent, and I wouldn't be here without you, man," Pitt said. "I thank you."

But Pitt couldn't pass up a "Titanic" reference, adding: "I would've shared the raft!"

Then, with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston sitting feet away, Pitt went on to the other thank yous, including his parents.

Pitt said he wanted to bring his mom as his plus-one, "but I couldn't -- because any woman I stand next to they say I'm dating ... would just be awkward."

He then ended on a serious note, telling the audience: "If you see a chance to be kind to someone tomorrow, take it. I think we need it."

But noticeably absent from his thank yous? Pitt's six children with ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
