Adrian Brody, who won the Oscar for Best Actor, set a new record, making the longest acceptance speech in Oscar history. The general was not to speak much, the star "Prestige" managed to stay on stage for five minutes and 40 seconds, which is 10 times longer than the previous record set by actor Grace Garsen in 1943. "Please, stop the music, I've already gone too long," the actor suddenly turned to the orchestra last Sunday. Brody managed to say that his attempt to shorten his speech had already happened, but he continued his speech for 90 seconds, noting that it is reminiscent of the three-hour length of "Prestige." Completing his speech with a political note, the 51-year-old star raised the question of contemporary politics, recalling the return of Donald Trump's White House. "If the past teaches us something, it is a reminder that we should not allow unbridled prejudice," Brody concluded, calling for the creation of "a better, happier, and inclusive world."
