He mentioned director Brady Corbet, along with Mona Fastvold, who co-wrote the script of the film with Corbet, and the composer Daniel Blumberg.
Taking The Brutalist's elemental theme as its reference point, Adrien Brody weaved a beautiful note of acknowledgment as he spoke:
"At the core of 'The Brutalist', it is really a story about the human capacity for creation, so I'd be remiss to not acknowledge my fellow nominees, Daniel, Colman, Timmy, Sebastian, Sebastian, Ralph. You guys really just, you reach such heights with your work, and you are such inspirations to me. To my- God, Brady and Mona, I love you guys- thank you for giving me wings. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of building this triumph and monument to humanity and the arts."
