Los Angeles, California – Acclaimed actor Adrien Brody made waves during the 2025 Oscars with his heartfelt acceptance speech, where he expressed gratitude towards his partner, Georgina Chapman, and her children. The speech took a surprising turn when Brody mentioned the two children Chapman shares with her ex-husband, disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein.
Chapman and Weinstein’s marriage ended in 2021 following a tumultuous divorce amidst sexual misconduct allegations against Weinstein. Despite the challenging circumstances, Brody acknowledged the impact Chapman has had on his life, emphasizing her children and their acceptance of him.
Weinstein, currently serving a 23-year sentence for sexual assault, responded positively to Brody’s mention of his children with Chapman. A representative shared Weinstein’s appreciation for Chapman’s love and care towards their kids.
Facing a retrial of his 2020 conviction, Weinstein has cited health issues as a reason to expedite the process. Battling leukemia and other ailments, Weinstein expressed a plea for justice while dealing with ongoing hospitalizations.
Chapman, now granted primary custody of her children, has moved forward with her life, stepping out with Brody for a public appearance at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2021. Brody, on the other hand, celebrated his second Oscar win for his role in “The Brutalist,” two decades after his first win for “The Pianist.”
During his acceptance speech, Brody set a new record for the longest Oscars speech in history, surpassing the time limit to share his heartfelt words. The emotional moment highlighted Brody’s dedication to his craft and his appreciation for those who have supported him throughout his career.
As the entertainment industry continues to evolve, moments like Brody’s speech serve as a reminder of the resilience and determination of those in the spotlight, despite personal and professional challenges. The 2025 Oscars provided a platform for celebration and reflection, honoring the talents and achievements of artists like Brody while acknowledging the complexities of their personal lives.
