Adrien Brody fights back tears as he thanks Los Angeles firefighters during acceptance speech. The actor struggled to contain his emotions at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, as he accepted the Best Actor Award for the Brutalist. ”I would be remiss to not mention the weight of what's on all of our mind and in our hearts tonight. It's been a heavy day for me.” Brody's voice quivered and he fought back tears as he took a brief pause. After apologising, he continued, "It's hard to accept something like this when there's so much suffering in the world.” “And um, you know, my heart goes out to all of the families and the animals and our colleagues.” The Pianist star then expressed his gratitude to the hundreds of firefighters who have been deployed to the LA area to try and contain the multiple blazes, which began in the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood on Tuesday. ”I just want to thank and commend the bravery of the first responders and sacrifices and their meaningful work that deserves our recognition tonight.” "I just want to share that my thoughts are with everyone affected by this horrific event. They're in my prayers and I know that we're all praying for their safety.”
