LOS ANGELES — Brad Pitt capped a triumphant Hollywood comeback on Sunday by winning his first Oscar for acting as the Academy Awards ceremony got off to a rousing start. Pitt, 56, was named best supporting actor for playing a charming stunt double in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” after having collected an armful of trophies earlier this year for the role. “I’m a bit gobsmacked to tell you the truth,” said Pitt, who recalled his early days starting out as an unknown actor. “Toy Story 4” was named best animated feature. The winners are chosen by the 8,000 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
