Adrien Brody finally keeps it short: Oscar winner ‘grateful’ after setting speech record

“The Brutalist” star Adrien Brody was played off multiple times during the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday but carried on with his acceptance speech. Two-time Oscar winner Adrien Brody knows he “made the longest Oscars speech in history.” Days after his big win at the 97th Academy Awards, he celebrated the unexpected milestone — with even more words. “The Brutalist” star and lead actor winner on Tuesday acknowledged his record on Instagram, telling fans in a selfie video, “I love you all.” He added: “You know I’m grateful. “As I had mentioned in my speech, I’m oddly receiving recognition for representing a time in history that we witnessed unchecked antisemitism and hatred and oppression, and their place in this world, and that we must learn from the past.” In “The Brutalist,” directed by Brady Corbet, Brody stars as Hungarian Jewish Holocaust survivor and architect László Tóth, who searches for a new beginning under a wealthy patron.
