Speaking at the winners’ press conference, he said: “I’m really grateful for Brady (Corbet) and Mona (Fastvold) to write something, and a role in particular, that is so full of complexity and humanity and speaks to the great deal of hardship in this world, both in the past and also that has relevance today.”.
“I don’t have an expectation that it does, but we all have to recognise that we’re one and that we live in a time that is quite divisive and it (the film) speaks to the need for all of us to share in the responsibility of how we want others to be treated and how we want to be treated by others.
The American actor, 51, won the leading actor gong during Sunday’s awards ceremony for his role as Hungarian-Jewish architect Laszlo Toth, who flees from post-war Europe for the US.
“They too were refugees and immigrants in the United States, and their story of hardship and their resilience and all that they’ve sacrificed to pave the way for me to have this beautiful moment is something that I’m really grateful to speak to in the work as Laszlo, my character’s journey echoes many of their struggles.”.
When he accepted the award Brody thanked his fellow nominees and said the award was “incredibly meaningful, as England has felt quite a bit like home lately”, explaining that he lived in London while doing a play.
