At the Oscars, director Sean Baker achieved a record by winning four Academy Awards. Meanwhile, Adrien Brody received backlash for delivering what some deemed the longest acceptance speech in the ceremony's history, lasting five minutes and 40 seconds. As Brody expressed his thoughts on acting, his self-indulgent and pompous demeanor frustrated viewers, especially when he halted the orchestra to continue speaking. This act joins a series of awkward television moments in Brody's history, marked by cringeworthy behaviors during past award ceremonies and appearances.
Just like the wad of chewing gum he hurled at his girlfriend Georgina Chapman before he took the stage was dripping with saliva.
Brody, 51, spoke with the boring Zen of a yoga teacher as he calmly called acting 'a fragile profession' and said the award 'signifies a destination.'
The pompous display joins a growing list of live-TV moments that Brody single-handedly made extremely uncomfortable.
When the orchestra started to play over him - rightly! - Brody sternly instructed them to 'turn the music off.'
