Adrien Brody Wins Best Actor For ‘The Brutalist’
No real surprise here. I finally watched “The Brutalist” today. It’s a good movie, even though I agree with a lot of critics who didn’t love the second half of the film. Quite frankly, I was rooting for Colman Domingo to win for “Sing Sing.” I can’t say enough how much I thought that film was one of the best of 2024.
Anywho, Brody took his first Oscar in this category for his role in "The Pianist" in 2003. — Erin
This is exactly who I expected to win, and I understand why. I loathed the three-plus-hour runtime of “The Brutalist,” but I can’t say Adrien Brody didn’t do a good job in it. Still, I, too, was rooting for Domingo to take this win because his performance in “Sing Sing” moved me to tears. Really crushing how this film keeps getting shut out tonight. — Njera
