Adrien Brody wins best actor Oscar for The Brutalist

Former youngest-ever winner of best actor Oscar wins award again for his portrayal of fictional architect in Brady Corbet’s epic drama

Now 51, Brody’s win on Sunday means he retains that record; his key competitor for the award this time round was Timothée Chalamet, 22 years his junior, for Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. There, he’s commissioned by tycoon Harrison Van Buren (Guy Pearce) to design and build a huge community centre, with a chapel and swimming pool, in memory of his late mother. In his review, the Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw praised Brody’s “angular fierceness and passion”, calling it “a career best for him, surely, and an advance on his performance in Roman Polanski’s The Pianist.”
