Adrien Brody Wins Second Oscar for ‘The Brutalist’ in a Career-Defining Moment
Adrien Brody has done it again! The acclaimed actor has won his second Academy Award for Best Actor, this time for his mesmerizing performance in The Brutalist . This marks a significant milestone in his career, cementing his legacy as one of Hollywood’s finest talents. The 97th Academy Awards, held at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, saw Brody take home the golden statuette for his portrayal of Lázló Tóth, a visionary Hungarian architect who escapes the Holocaust and immigrates to the U.S. in pursuit of his American Dream.
This win comes 22 years after Brody’s first Oscar victory for The Pianist in 2003. That role, where he played a Jewish musician struggling to survive during World War II, had already established him as a powerhouse performer. Now, with The Brutalist , he delivers yet another emotionally charged performance, spanning three decades of his character’s life.
In his acceptance speech, Brody reflected on the highs and lows of his career. “No matter where you are in your career, no matter what you’ve accomplished, it can all go away. And I think what makes this night so special is the awareness of that,” he said. He also used his platform to address pressing global issues, speaking out against antisemitism, racism, and oppression. “I pray for a healthier and a happier and a more inclusive world,” he declared.

This year’s Best Actor category was packed with talent, with Brody beating out strong performances from Timothée Chalamet ( A Complete Unknown ), Colman Domingo ( Sing Sing ), Ralph Fiennes ( Conclave ), and Sebastian Stan ( The Apprentice ). The Brutalist, directed by Brady Corbet, had already made waves leading up to the Oscars, earning ten nominations, including Best Picture.
