Actor Adrien Brody has been making headlines after his record-shattering Oscar speech at the 2024 ceremony. The Brutalist star took the stage to accept his Best Actor award, surpassing Guinness World Records with a whopping five minutes and 36 seconds of speaking time.
In a social media post, Brody joked about keeping his speech brief, but instead delivered a lengthy message to the audience. He expressed gratitude for their love and support, reminding viewers that “dreams can come true.” The actor’s speech was notable for its brevity in comparison, as he asked the orchestra to stop playing music after several minutes.
Brody’s win marks his second Best Actor Oscar, following his previous victory for The Pianist. He beat out Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Ralph Fiennes, and Sebastian Stan in the competition.
The Brutalist was a strong contender at the Oscars, picking up three nominations, including Best Cinematography and Best Original Score. Brody’s Oscar win marks an impressive milestone in his career as an actor and filmmaker.
