At the 97th Academy Awards on March 2, 2025, Adrien Brody, 51, secured his second Best Actor Oscar for portraying László Tóth in "The Brutalist." Previously, he won in 2003 for "The Pianist," making him the youngest recipient at 29. During his acceptance speech, Brody halted the orchestra's play-off attempt, asserting, "It's not my first rodeo." He expressed gratitude towards his parents, partner Georgina Chapman, and her children. Reflecting on the fragility of acting careers, he emphasized learning from past traumas to combat systemic oppression, anti-Semitism, and racism, advocating for a more inclusive world. Notably, as he approached the stage, Brody tossed his chewing gum to Chapman, sparking mixed reactions on social media.
