Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet, Anne Hathaway and Melissa Leo will also compete for the prestigious accolade.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" - which sees Brad star as a man born old who ages backwards - also features in the best ensemble category, and will battle it out against "Doubt," "Frost/Nixon," "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Milk."

Heath Ledger - who died of an accidental overdose in January - is up for the supporting actor award for his portrayal of The Joker in summer Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight," alongside stars including Robert Downey Jr. for "Tropic Thunder" and Josh Brolin for "Milk."

The female version of the trophy will go to either Penelope Cruz for "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," Kate Winslet for "The Reader," Amy Adams for "Doubt," Viola Davis for "Doubt" or Taraji P. Henson for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

Catholic school drama "Doubt" - which tells the story of a nun who confronts a priest after discovering he has been sexually abusing a black student - has scooped five nominations, including honors for stars Meryl and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

The awards will take place on January 25 at the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center.
