Like the pirate code, that 45-second speech timer is really more of a guideline.
After refraining from kissing Cillian Murphy (hypocrite!
),Adrien Brodysaid hed make his acceptance speech forBest Actorbrief.
Then he did not.
Perhaps in honor of his 215-minute film,The Brutalist, Brody talked so longhe broke a record.
He also noted that both hisOscarshave come for portraying survivors of the Holocaust.
Brody is one of the few actors who have won multiple Best Actor statuettes.
Brody spoke about how incredible it is to get the opportunities that lead to such glory.
Acting is a very fragile profession, he said.
It looks very glamorous, and at certain moments it is.
But the one thing that Ive gained having the privilege to come back here is to have some perspective.
How long was it?!
Miniver,per Guinness World Records.
To clarify: Oscar acceptance speeches are supposed to be 45 seconds long.
This thing is so long it should have taken a cue fromThe Brutalistand had an intermission.
