Adrien Brody breaks the world record for the longest Oscars acceptance speech

Adrien Brody, who was the youngest person in 2003, who collected a best actor -Soscar, broke another record while accepting his second statuette on Sunday.

The actor, who won for his role in Brady Corbet's “The Brutalist”, spoke on stage for five minutes and 40 seconds and held the longest acceptance speech in the history of the academy.

The British actor Greer Garson previously held the title according to the Guinness World Records. During the 1943 Oscars, she held an approach that lasted five minutes and 30 seconds after she was in “Mrs. Miniver. “The Oscars were not broadcast on television at that time. (The ceremony was broadcast on television in 1953, according to the Academy of Arts and Sciences.)

Guinness World Records has not updated his online entry for “longest language that accepts an Oscar Award”, but many Oscars viewers pointed out that Brody's lengthy speech has probably exceeded other award ceremonies.

The academy has no official border period for speeches. A spokesman for the academy did not immediately answer a request for a comment. A spokesman for Guinness World Records also did not immediately answer a request for comments.

As a rule, however, Oscars winners have about 45 seconds before a musical selection of music begins to play and encourages them to move away and go off the stage.

But when the music started to play during Brodys, it didn't seem that he had no intention to exceed his celebration.

“I queue off. I'm going to finish; turn off the music. I've done it before,” said Brody when the music played during his speech. “Thank you. It's not my first rodeo, but I will be short. I won't be outrageous, I promise that.”

This was not the first time that Brody worked in overtime during an acceptance speech.

While he was accepting the best actor prize for his performance in “The Pianist” in 2003, Brody replied to the traditional excerpt by saying: “A second, please a second. Cut it out. I got a shot on it. I didn't say more than five names, I don't think.”

In this award -winning season, the actors' colleagues also made fun of him, about his tendency to go through the assigned language.

Kieran Culkin, who took the Oscar home for the best supporting actor on Sunday for his performance in “A Real Pain”, had nodded Brodys's tendency during his own acceptance speech at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on February 23.

When Culkin took on the award for the outstanding performance of a male actor in a supportive role, he joked about the weight of the award and said: “Thank you for this incredibly difficult price.”

“I don't think someone can hold this for 45 seconds … This is the assigned time, Adrien Brody – 45 seconds,” said Culkin.

The cameras cut Brody in the crowd that laughed and smiled.

On Sunday, Brody used his acceptance speech as an opportunity to recognize the Awards success for two decades in his Succomy and describe it as a “fragile profession”.

“One thing I won to return the privilege of returning here is a perspective and no matter where you are in your career, no matter what you have achieved, everything can disappear,” said Brody. “I think what special does this night that is special that night is the awareness of it and the gratitude that I still have to do for the work I love.”

“The brutalist”, a comprehensive epic about a (fictional) Hungarian Jewish architect, who tries to rebuild his life in the United States after the Second World War, took three Oscars home.
