Adrien Brody breaks record for longest ever Oscar acceptance speech
The actor, who won for The Brutalist, spoke for five minutes and forty seconds, beating Greer Garson in 1943
Brody beat out competition from A Complete Unknown’s Timothée Chalamet and Conclave’s Ralph Fiennes to win for his role in low-budget drama The Brutalist, this year’s longest best picture nominee at 215 minutes. “I feel so fortunate,” he said on stage after spitting out his gum and throwing it to partner Georgina Chapman, ex-wife of Harvey Weinstein. “I pray for a healthier and a happier and a more inclusive world, and I believe if the past can teach us anything, it’s a reminder to not let hate go unchecked.”
