"It's always hard to accept something like this when there's so much suffering in the world," Brody says after winning best actor at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards on Wednesday

Adrien Brody won best actor at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards and gave an emotional speech reflecting on the California fires.

It’s been a heavy day,” an emotional Brody said at the East Coast event, where filmmakers Sean Baker and Brady Corbet also acknowledged the tragic wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles.

The Oscar frontrunner for “The Brutalist” told Vulture that it was his idea to play a Jamaican man — dreads, exaggerated accent, and all — while introducing the show’s actually-Jamaican musical guest Sean Paul. The pitch didn’t go over super well and the live moment landed with a thud.

Brody hosted the show in 2003 and spent a whopping 41 seconds introducing Jamaican musical guest Sean Paul in an excruciating accent.

The epic drama The Brutalist is officially an awards frontrunner — and after winning the Golden Globe for his performance in it this past weekend, it seems like Adrien Brody is a sure bet for his second Best Actor Oscar later this year.
