Adrien Brody, although celebrated for winning his second best actor Oscar for his role in The Brutalist, faced significant criticism for his lengthy acceptance speech. Lasting five minutes and 40 seconds, the speech broke an Oscars record and annoyed viewers, as Brody insisted on continuing despite efforts to play him off. Critics described the speech as insufferable, lacking substance, and reflective of Brody’s controversial reputation. While he touched on themes of love, peace, and social justice, many felt the delivery was self-indulgent and distracted from the message he attempted to convey.
Brody’s acceptance speech lasted five minutes and 40 seconds, the longest in Oscars history, which drew annoyance from viewers and critics alike.
Industry expert Lucas Shaw stated, 'I've heard from way more people about how bad his speech was than anything during that show. It was painful for everyone watching.'
Brody's speech, intended as a call for peace and tolerance, was criticized as unfocused and lacking in substance by pop culture writer Kaleigh Donaldson.
Host Matthew Belloni noted that Brody 'does not have the greatest reputation in town for being a good guy,' suggesting a reflection of his true nature.
