Adrien Brody’s performance as a Hungarian architect in “ The Brutalist ” has won him his first Golden Globe. In the three-and-a-half hour film directed by Brady Corbet, the actor plays László Tóth, a Holocaust survivor trying to rebuild his life in America following the war.

For his second Globe nomination and first win, Brody prevailed over fellow nominees Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”), Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”), Timothée Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”), Daniel Craig (“Queer”) and Sebastian Stan (“The Apprentice”).

When Adrien Brody won his first Golden Globe Award on Sunday in Los Angeles, he tearfully acknowledged his fellow actors and close supporters, but he also made sure to thank his parents Sylvia Plachy and Elliot Brody,
