Why is Adrien Brody's Oscars speech getting so much recognition?
On March 2, 2025, Adrien Brody took home the award for Actor in a Leading Role for his starring role in the period drama film, The Brutalist. After his name was announced, Brody took to the stage and said:
"Acting is a very fragile profession. It looks very glamorous, and in certain moments, it is, but the one thing that I’ve gained having the privilege to come back here is to have some perspective. No matter where you are in your career, no matter what you’ve accomplished, it can all go away."
Brody reminisced about certain aspects of his life and thanked his The Brutalist co-stars and crew members. He also took the time to thank his partner, Georgina Chapman, who was there to support him. He said:
"I share this with my amazing partner Georgina, who has not only reinvigorated my own self-worth, but my sense of value and my values.”
As Brody was speaking, the Academy attempted to cut him off, owing to its rule of approximately 40-second speeches. However, he asked them to turn the music down, saying:
"I’m wrapping up, please turn the music off. I’ve done this before. Thank you. It’s not my first rodeo, but I will be brief.”
Adrien Brody's speech ended at five minutes and 36 seconds, which was recognized as the longest Oscars acceptance speech by The Guinness World Records.
The previous record was reportedly held by Greer Garson, who spoke for five minutes and 30 seconds while accepting an award for Mrs Miniver in 1943.
