Adrien Brody and Hollywood Reflect on L.A. Wildfires at New York Film Critics Circle Awards

The annual ceremony honored top films and performances while addressing the ongoing devastation caused by California's wildfires.

Adrien Brody, awarded Best Actor for 'The Brutalist,' delivered an emotional speech acknowledging the tragic wildfires in Los Angeles that have claimed lives and displaced thousands.
Several honorees, including director Brady Corbet and screenwriter Sean Baker, expressed solidarity with those affected and praised the bravery of first responders.
The wildfires have disrupted the awards season, delaying the announcement of Oscar nominations and casting a somber tone over the evening's celebrations.
Major winners included 'The Brutalist' for Best Picture, Marianne Jean-Baptiste for Best Actress in 'Hard Truths,' and Kieran Culkin for Best Supporting Actor in 'A Real Pain.'
The event also spotlighted lesser-known films like 'Nickel Boys,' which won Best Director and Cinematography, and 'All We Imagine as Light,' awarded Best International Film.
