<h2> This is the second Best Actor award for Adrien Brody since &#8220;The Pianist&#8221;.</h2>
<p> The 97th Academy Awards ceremony was held on March 3 (local time) in Los Angeles, and &#8220;ANORA,&#8221; a film about the tumultuous romance between a New York strip club dancer and the prodigal son of a Russian billionaire, won Best Picture, Best Director (Sean Baker), Best Actress (Mikey Madison), and Best Screenplay. The film won a total of five awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Sean Baker), Best Actress (Mikey Madison), Best Screenplay, and Best Editing.</p>
<p> One of the most popular actors at this year&#8217;s awards ceremony was Adrien Brody (51), who passionately played an architect in &#8220;The Brutalist,&#8221; a film about the turbulent life of a Hungarian Jewish architect who survived the Holocaust and came to the United States. It was his second Best Actor award since &#8220;The Pianist&#8221; (2002).</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Brody &#8220;first&#8221; attracted attention on the red carpet.</p>
<p> When Halle Berry, the first African-American to win an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in &#8220;Chocolate&#8221; (&#8217;01), met Brody on the red carpet, she was accompanied by her boyfriend, fashion designer and actress Georgina Chapman, who was looking on. The actress surprised Brody with a passionate &#8220;lip to lip&#8221; kiss in front of his girlfriend, fashion designer and actress Georgina Chapman, who was accompanying Brody on the red carpet.</p>
<p> The Daily Mail (electronic edition) reported the surprise kiss,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;It was payback for Brody pulling me in for a dramatic kiss at the &#8217;03 awards ceremony, right after he won an Oscar for &#8216;The Pianist&#8217;,&#8221; Halle joked.</span></p>
<p> Hal jokingly revealed, according to the report. And to Georgina.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8216;I&#8217;m sorry, Georgina, but I have to do it.&#8217;</span></p>
<p> He said.</p>
<p> The red carpet was a riot of people screaming in shock and cheering, but Brody didn&#8217;t seem upset, and to maximize the dramatic effect, he immediately hugged Hal and Georgina applauded them.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In fact, Hal was presenting at the &#8217;03 Academy Awards ceremony when Brody won Best Actor for &#8220;The Pianist in the Battlefield&#8221; at the age of 29, the youngest actor ever to win the award. It was then that Brody suddenly embraced Hal and kissed him passionately on stage. Halle froze for a moment, but did not reject the kiss.</span></p>
<p> Twenty-two years after the &#8220;happening kiss,&#8221; the &#8220;revenge kiss&#8221; took place. It was a scene that will remain in the history of the Academy Awards.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" When Brody&#39;s name was called, he did something unexpected. ......"></div>
<h2>The longest speech in Academy Award history at 5 minutes and 40 seconds.</h2>
<p> Brody also &#8220;got his ass handed to him&#8221; on his way up the stairs to the stage after his name was called for Best Actor. He turned around, took a piece of gum out of his mouth, and threw it to his girlfriend Georgina, who caught it on the TV broadcast. The scene caused a firestorm on the Internet and elsewhere.</p>
<p> In addition, Brody caused a stir during his acceptance speech for the Best Actor award, which lasted 5 minutes and 40 seconds, the longest speech in the history of the past 97 Academy Awards. The previous record was said to be 5 minutes and 30 seconds when Greer Garson won the Best Actress award for &#8220;Mrs. Miniver&#8221; in 1943.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> In her speech, Brody also thanked her partner Georgina and her two children with her imprisoned ex-boyfriend Harvey Weinstein,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He said, &#8220;I know it&#8217;s been a roller coaster ride. Thank you for letting me into your life.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> He stated. He then discussed racism against Jews and others, which is a theme of &#8220;The Brutalist,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> If the past can teach us anything, it is that we must not let hate go unchecked.</span></p>
<p> He appealed to the audience.</p>
<p> This year&#8217;s Academy Awards did not have a major contender like last year&#8217;s &#8220;Oppenheimer,&#8221; which won a record seven awards. However, &#8220;ANORA,&#8221; which won five awards, including Best Picture, for the tumultuous love romance between a New York stripper and the prodigal son of a Russian billionaire, and &#8220;Emilia Perez,&#8221; in which a drug lord has a sex change and becomes a woman. A COMPLETE UNKNOWN,&#8221; in which Timothée Chalamet plays a young Bob Dylan; &#8220;Papal Election,&#8221; a fishy behind-the-scenes look at the papal election after the death of the Pope; &#8220;Substance,&#8221; starring Demi Moore; and Ariana Grande&#8217;s operatic singing of another dimension in &#8221; Wicked: Two Witches,&#8221; and many others were unique and full of charm.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Among them, &#8220;The Brutalist&#8221; is a blockbuster of 3 hours and 35 minutes with an intermission. Brody passionately plays a genius Hungarian-Jewish architect with a deadly passion for grand architecture in a foreign land. He was the sole winner of this year&#8217;s Academy Awards for his role in the revenge kiss fiasco with Hal, the gum-throwing and the longest speech in history.</p>
