Oscars 2025: Adrien Brody sets a new record for the longest speech

The two-time Oscar winner Adrien BrodyClearly had a lot to say on the 97th Oscar Awards on Sunday. Now it seems that his insistence has to keep a long approach that has paid off.

The star and lead actor of the brutalist star now keeps the record for the longest acceptance speech in the history of Oscars. After Brody had blown a kiss into the crowd, he spoke about five minutes and 40 seconds with the count of the Times before he retired from the microphone. That broke the record that Old Hollywood “Mrs. Miniver “Star Greer Garson, according to Guinness World Records, celebrated her victory for the main actress at the Academy Awards from 1943 with a 5 1/2-minute speech.

Times turned to Guinness on Monday, but did not hear immediately.

Brody, who won his first Oscar for “The Pianist” in 2003, began his speech on Sunday with the recognition that the Oscar producers have already “depressed” me. The playoff music that the winners should signal to close their games began to play more than halfway in Brodys's speech. He released the score: “I will complete. Please switch off the music. I've done that before. ”

“It's not my first rodeo,” he said, before he is added, “I will be short. I will not be outrageous. I promise.”

After two more minutes – what he devoted to his parents and a “healthier, happier and more integrative world” asked Brody. “Ok, I'll get out of here,” he said when the Playoff music returned. Backstage had to share Brody even more.

“I think we all know that it is an important time to recognize that there is no place for intolerance,” said Brody as an answer to a question from time. “As I mentioned in my speech, I strangely remember that I have a time in history when we saw the unchecked anti -Semitism, hatred and oppression and its place in this world and that we have to learn from the past.”

In “The Brutalist” directed by Brady Corbet, Brody plays as a Hungarian Jewish Holocaust -survivor and architect László Tóth, who is looking for a wealthy patron after a new beginning (played by Guy Pearce). “The Brutalist” also won Oscars for original scores and cinematography.

Before his speech, Brody turned his head during the broadcast on Sunday because he apparently spit out his chewing gum and cut his partner Georgina Chapman. He spoke to Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos the viral moment behind the stage and told the co-moderators and spouses of the morning show that he forgot that he chewed chewing gum while he made his way to the stage.

“I would have [swallowed it]But I didn't think about it, ”he said. “I somehow had to get rid of it.”
