Brad Pitt has said he is "immensely proud" of his wife Angelina Jolie and hopes her upcoming film Unbroken "gets all the recognition it deserves".

With Pitt's latest film Fury and Jolie's new directorial outing already creating some Oscars buzz, the actor told Hello! magazine that he would rather be up against someone he knows and hopes that his wife's film will do well come awards season.

The magazine quotes the star as saying: "I often end up with movies competing with my friends' movies and I always feel that it's great when we all make it there.

"I am immensely proud of Angie, she's made an incredible movie, which is a big story about the triumph of the human spirit – we're certainly not pitted against each other and I hope Unbroken gets all the recognition it deserves."

Pitt added that he feels different now that the pair are married: "We have six kids already so we felt so beyond that [marriage] for a long time. But the kids were asking and so we thought it would be a lovely thing to do, for them and for us as a family, and it was all of that.

"But I was surprised afterwards at the effect that getting married has had on us – it was more than just a ceremony, it meant a real depth of commitment. I feel like a married man – I really do."
