EntertainmentAdrien Brody gets emotional at the Golden Globes: ‘I felt like this moment would never be mine again’

One of the great names of his generation, the New York actor Adrien Brody invoiced the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Film (Drama) in the last edition of the awards. This was the second nomination for the artist, who competed in 2003 for the acclaimed The Pianistfrom Roman Polanski. Despite not winning the award at the time, he became the youngest winner of the Oscar for Best Actor, at 29 years old, he remains the record holder.

During his award acceptance speech, Brody was moved, thanked family and colleagues and declared that “this story is really the character’s journey that is very reminiscent of my mother’s and my ancestors’ journey of fleeing the war and coming to this great country. I owe a lot to my mother and my grandparents for their sacrifice, and although I don’t fully know how to express all the challenges you have faced and experienced, and the many people who have struggled to immigrate to this country, I hope this work serves to uplift you a little and give you a voice I’m very grateful. I will cherish this moment forever.”

There was a time, not so long ago, when I felt like this would never again be a moment offered to me, so thank you.
