● Calls for a “more inclusive world” in Best Actor acceptance speech
Adrien Brody won his second Best Actor Oscar for his role in The Brutalist.
He plays a Holocaust survivor and Hungarian architect who emigrates to the United States.
“Acting is a very fragile profession. It looks very glamorous, and in certain moments it is,” he said in his acceptance speech.
“But the one thing that I’ve gained having the privilege to come back here is to have some perspective. And no matter where you are in your career, no matter what you’ve accomplished, it can all go away.”
Brody thanked his mom and dad, as well as his partner, Georgina Chapman, and her children.
“Popsy’s comin’ home a winner!” he said.
He also said he wanted to represent the “lingering traumas and the repercussions of war and systematic oppression and of antisemitism and racism and otherism.”
“I pray for a healthier and 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. “Let’s rebuild together.”
