Brad Pitt made a joke about how he "didn't get on with his wife" during his SAG Awards acceptance speech, and Jennifer Aniston's reaction was priceless.

Pitt was accepting the award for Most Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for his work in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" when he made the joke in reference to his character.

"Let's be honest, it was a difficult part," he said. "The guy who gets high, takes his shirt off, and doesn't get on with his wife. It's a big stretch. Big."

After the audience burst into laughter, the camera panned to the faces of several celebrities including John Lithgow, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, and Jamie Foxx.

It then showed 50-year-old Aniston smiling and clapping at her ex-husband's comments. 

Pitt then proceeded to talk about the connections he drew between the film and his personal life.

"Each of us in this room, we know pain we know loneliness, we bring that to the screen," he said. "We have moments of grace, we've had moments of wisdom, we bring that to the screen."

It was a successful night for the former couple, as Aniston also took home Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series for her role in "The Morning Show," which she produced alongside costar Reese Witherspoon.
