Why did this Adrian Brody get a standing ovation in the middle of his speech. The MUTE button was on. What did he say?
He said his hopes this war is over very quickly. He has a good friend in the military in Kuwait and wanted him to staff safe BTW.
Basically, he said appearing in "The Pianist" has heightened his awareness to the current conflict, and asked people: "whoever you pray to - God or Allah - pray for a quick resolution to the war." He also sent out a wish to his friend who is with the military in Kuwait, and said something like, "Come home safe and soon, Buddy."
My paraphasing.
