The two A-listers were up for several prestigious gongs with George’s Catch 22 nominated for best television limited series, while Brad was tipped to take the best actor in a supporting role award for Once Upon A Time… in Hollywood.

It’s not the first time Brad and George have competed for the spotlight during awards season. Although the veteran stars have many nominations and wins between them, in 2012 tensions likely flared when they were both up for the same Golden Globe best actor award.

While Brad was nominated for his role in Moneyball, it was George’s part in The Descendants that won him the gong.

This healthy competition might also be among the reasons George is reportedly feeling the pressure.

Radar Online reported recently that the 58-year-old was “hell on earth” to be around as he worked on his latest project, Good Morning, Midnight.

The rumoured showdown comes after it was reported that George and Amal’s have a bizarre ‘relationship agreement’.

An insider told New Idea the $750 million Hollywood super-couple have bolstered their relationship by coming up with an agreement they are both said to be following.

“Divorce isn’t an option to either of them, so they had to find a way to make this work. Earlier this year, they sat down and figured out a list of rules that would make them both feel more comfortable and less pressured to live a life that didn’t suit them,” the source said.

“They have come to appreciate that they’re two very different people, but instead of fighting or trying to impose their will on each other, they’ve found a way to back off in some areas and compromise in others.”

There had been reports that the duo have been living increasingly separate lives as they co-raise their twins Ella and Alexander, 2, while pursuing their highly successful careers.

While George has frequently been on location filming projects and promoting new releases and his business ventures, Amal has split her time between New York and London, as well as spending a lot of time travelling in her role as Special Envoy for Media Freedom to the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
