Adrien Brody took home his second Oscar at the 97th Academy Awards. Brody was recognized for his outstanding performance as a Holocaust survivor in The Brutalist, directed by Brady Corbet. Adrien won big at the Academy Awards, but it was his winning speech that made a lot of headlines. Adrien set a new record at the Oscars by delivering the longest acceptance speech ever, surpassing the previous record held for over 80 years. Read on to know the duration of Adrien`s speech.
Adrien Brody spoke for 5 minutes and 40 seconds, marking the record for the longest Oscars acceptance speech ever given. His speech at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles stole the show. As the Academy began to play music to signal the end of his time, Brody politely told them to “turn the music off.” “I`m wrapping up, please turn the music off,” Brody said, adding, “I`ve done this before. Thank you. It’s not my first rodeo, but I will be brief.”
Earlier, British actress Greer Garson set the record in 1943 with a five-minute and 30-second speech after winning Best Actress for Mrs. Miniver, according to Guinness World Records.
