Brody received his second Oscar after 22 years with a heartfelt speech.
“It looks very glamorous and in certain moments it is,” adding, ““But the one thing that I’ve gained, having the privilege to come back here, is to have some perspective.”
He continued, “No matter where you are in your career, no matter what you’ve accomplished, it can all go away. And I think what makes this night so special is the awareness of that.”
Brody did not miss the opportunity to raise his voice against antisemitism and racism as he added, “I’m here once again to represent the lingering traumas and the repercussions of war and systematic oppression and of antisemitism and racism and othering.”
“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,” he said
The Brutalist, released in 2024 follows Adrien Brody's character Charles, an architect who leaves Europe and moves to America after World War II.
As Charles struggles to rebuild his life, career, and marriage he meets a rich and important businessman, who notices his skills.
