On Sunday night, as Adrien Brody ascended the stage of the Dolby Theater to accept the best actor Oscar for his role in The Brutalist, he extracted a piece of gum out of his mouth and tossed it to his girlfriend, the fashion designer Georgina Chapman. It’s unclear whether this disgusting gesture was a planned bit, or a nervous reaction to his anticipated win. (Brody went on to insufferably ramble for more than five minutes, breaking the record for the longest Oscars speech in history.) Anyway, I found the gesture tacky, obviously, but also curiously insulting to Chapman, especially given her complex history as a plus-one. The strangest thing to me about Brody’s relationship with Chapman, whose ex-husband is the convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein, is that they both are products of the Miramax machine. You have to wonder whether the relationship is a trauma bond.
