Adrien Brody tells production to cut the playoff music during his acceptance speech for Best Lead Actor for his role in ‘The Brutalist’ at the 97th Academy Awards, which aired on ABC and streams on Hulu. His bold move follows a playful warning from Kieran Culkin at last week’s SAG Awards, advising Adrien to keep his speech under 45 seconds. The actor is also going viral for a quirky pre-speech gesture, tossing his gum to his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, before taking the stage.
