Adrien Brody broke the record for the longest Oscars acceptance speech, measuring 5 minutes and 40 seconds, during which he reflected on the fragility of acting and addressed important themes of his winning film, 'The Brutalist.' This marked his second Best Actor win, competing against notable actors. Despite the lengthy speech, Brody emphasized the need for inclusivity and the dangers of unchecked hate, resonating with the film's themes related to war and oppression. Halle Berry famously kissed him on the red carpet, adding a nostalgic touch to the event.
I feel so fortunate... Acting is a very fragile profession. It looks very glamorous... but the one thing that I've gained having the privilege to come back here is to have some perspective.
I'm wrapping up, please turn the music off, Brody said. I've done this before. Thank you. It's not my first rodeo, but I will be brief.
I'm here once again to represent the lingering traumas and the repercussions of war and systematic oppression... I pray for a healthier and a happier and a more inclusive world.
Earlier in the evening, Halle Berry kissed Brody on the red carpet to recreate the controversial moment on stage 22 years ago when he kissed her.
