Brody, who won Best Actor for "The Brutalist," referenced partner Georgina Chapman and Weinstein's children in his speech: "Thank you for accepting me," he said.

While accepting his second best actor Academy Award, Brody gave his longtime partner and her children a shoutout—and a piece of recently chewed gum.

Adrien Brody won the best actor statuette at the 97th annual Academy Awards on Sunday, March 2. Also nominated in the category were Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Ralph Fiennes and Sebastian Stan.
