In this drama directed by Paul Higgis, Brody plays Wallace an american business man on a business trip to Italy who falls in Love with an Albanian woman and he is inevitably drawn into a plot to free her daughter who is kidnapped and held for ransom. The film also stars Moran Atias.

My character Scott Wallace is a man who’s made some errors in life and some mistakes are permanent and too difficult to overcome. I think he’s grappling with a lot as a result of that and he’s unable to forgive himself.

Brody wins the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish Jewish musician during World War II who struggles to survive the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto, in Roman Polanski’s The Pianist. Halle Berry presents the award.

Oh my God. Thank you. Thank you, really. Oh my goodness. It doesn’t come out in slow motion, but it doesn’t really ring a bell–the name. I didn’t know my name when you said that. This Adrien? Okay.

Brody mentions the U.S. invasion of Iraq in his speech, and prays for a peaceful and swift resolution.
