Oscar winner Adrien Brody got played off, twice. He finished his thoughts backstage

“We all know that it’s an important time to recognize that there’s no place for intolerance,” Adrien Brody said in a backstage interview after winning the lead actor Oscar for “The Brutalist.” Adrien Brody flashed his status as a two-time Oscar winner to ward off the orchestral music that was nudging him to wrap up his lengthy acceptance speech Sunday evening. “It’s not my first rodeo.” The actor, who took the lead actor Oscar for his performance as Hungarian Jewish Holocaust survivor and architect László Tóth in “The Brutalist,” received his first Academy Award in 2003 for playing Holocaust survivor Wladyslaw Szpilman in “The Pianist.” “I’m here, once again, to represent the lingering traumas and the repercussions of war and systematic oppression and of antisemitism and racism and of othering,” he said in his speech. “I think we all know that it’s an important time to recognize that there’s no place for intolerance,” Brody said in response to a question from The Times. “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.” Brody’s mother and grandparents fled Hungary, giving him a unique perspective and personal tie to “The Brutalist.” “My grandparents’ struggles and their loss and their resilience have paved the way for my own good fortune,” he said in the media room.
