Adrien Brody Wins Oscar, Throws Out His Gum and Tells the Academy to Cut the Music So He Can Finish Speech: ‘I’ve Done This Before’


Adrien Brody has won his second best actor Oscar, for his role in Brady Corbet's 'The Brutalist.'

Walking on stage to accept the trophy, Brody spit his chewing gum into his hand and threw it to his partner, Georgina Chapman. In “The Brutalist,” a three-and-a-half-hour epic produced for only about $10 million, Brody plays the fictional architect and Holocaust survivor László Tóth, who escapes Hungary to come to the United States. Distributed by A24, “The Brutalist” scored 10 Oscar nominations in total, including for best picture, best director (Corbet) and best supporting performances for Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones.
