Adrien Brody’s big night at the 97th Academy Awards took an unanticipated turn when an odd exchange between him and his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, became a major talking point.
As he made his way to the stage, cameras caught him casually removing a piece of gum from his mouth and tossing it backward. In an unusual turn, his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, quickly caught it to prevent it from hitting the floor.
The unusual moment quickly sparked reactions online, with many viewers calling it strange. Some criticized Brody for his behavior on such a prestigious stage. However, a few defended the couple, suggesting it was simply an affectionate gesture. One user wrote on X, “Such an arrogant, self-indulgent prick. I would never degrade my partner like this. Georgina — you’re 0 for 2 in picking men. You deserve better.”
Adding to the controversy, Brody’s acceptance speech also drew mixed reactions. One user commented on X, “Adrien Brody taking 1 whole minute to get on the stage, throwing his gum on the floor, and proceeding to have a 6.5 minute speech where he demands the orchestra to stop playing so he can keep yapping.” Though he spoke about the challenges of an acting career and touched on deeper topics, many felt his speech dragged on too long. Some viewers appreciated his heartfelt words, while others found the length excessive.
