Adrien Brody wins second Oscar: The brutalist conquers the hearts!

Los Angeles, USA - Adrien Brody was awarded his second Oscar on March 3, 2025 during a glamorous Oscar ceremony in the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. He received this honor for his impressive representation in "The Brutalist", a film that tells the fictional biography of the Bauhaus architect László Tóth. Brody, who was famous with "The Pianist" in 2002, was celebrated for his role as a Holocaust survivor who emigrated to America in 1947. The film, directed by Brady Corbet, not only addresses the challenges of Tóth, who has difficulty finding its way around the new home, but also its ambitions as a trained architect with a focus on brutalist architecture.

"The Brutalist" was nominated for ten prizes at the Oscars 2025 and was finally given three awards: the best film music, the best camera and the best acting performance by Adrien Brody. The inspiration for this extraordinary film comes from the book "Architecture in Uniform" by the late architect Jean-Louis Cohen, which brings a deep historical context into the story. Corbet, who wrote the script together with his partner Mona Fastvold, dedicated the film to those architects who could never realize their dreams due to the circumstances.
