Adrien Brody Sends Love to His 'Beautiful Girlfriend' Georgina Chapman as He Wins Critics Choice Award

Adrien Brody shouted out his girlfriend Georgina Chapman after he was named best actor at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards.

For his starring role in The Brutalist, Brody, 51, was presented with the evening's top male acting prize, and he thanked Chapman, whom he has been dating since 2020, as well as his parents and first responders in Los Angeles as he took the stage Friday, Feb. 7 in Santa Monica, California.

"I've been doing this since I was 12 and I know very clearly that these moments are far and few between in an actor's life. I do not take this for granted," Brody said. "I want to shout out my crew and amazing cast for all their amazing contributions to this, I couldn't be here without you, and to my team for supporting me and guiding me and A24 for believing in this movie and of course to my beautiful girlfriend Georgina and my parents, thank you. I would not be here without you. God bless everyone, I love you. Thank you."

PEOPLE first confirmed Brody and Chapman, 48, were dating in early 2020. The pair made their red carpet debut at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2021 and most recently stepped out together at the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 5, where Brody also won an award for his performance in The Brutalist.

"You guys, critics, they make you stronger. Thank you, I really appreciate you. You guys have been advocating for our film since Venice and you've given us a voice, you've made this very small epic film very visible and very accessible to people and I'm so grateful for that," Brody also said.

Elsewhere in his speech, the actor added, "We are nothing without you," with an inflection in his voice reminiscent of his character's accent in The Brutalist. "You have to see the movie."

Brody beat out five fellow actors for the honor: Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown), Daniel Craig (Queer), Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) and Hugh Grant (Heretic).

Brody leads The Brutalist as László Tóth, a Hungarian-born Jewish architect who emigrates to the U.S. to flee the Holocaust. Last nominated for a Critics Choice Award for 2014's The Grand Budapest Hotel, he also won the Best Actor Academy Award for 2002’s The Pianist.

His new historical drama, from director and co-writer Brady Corbet, came into the Critics Choice Awards ceremony with nine nods, including for best picture, for best supporting actor Guy Pearce and for director/co-writer Corbet, 36.

Capping off a busy year for 29-year-old Chalamet, who led both A Complete Unknown and Dune: Part Two, the actor earned his sixth Critics Choice Award nod for his performance as Bob Dylan in the former.

Directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line), the music biopic depicts the singer-songwriter in the 1960s, alongside fellow Critics Choice nominee Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo and more.

Appearing at the Critics Choice Awards for the second year in a row following his nominated work as Bayard Rustin in 2023's Rustin, Domingo, 55, is racking up awards recognition for his work as the formerly incarcerated John "Divine G" Whitfield in Sing Sing.

The Emmy winner and Oscar nominee’s performance has earned love from the Gotham Awards, Golden Globe Awards and Film Independent Spirit Awards, in addition to his Critics Choice nod.

The Critics Choice recognition for Fiennes, 62, is one of many for Conclave, which earned 11 nods including for director Edward Berger and supporting actress Isabella Rossellini.

Adapted from Robert Harris' hit novel, the papal drama imagines a series of twists in the modern-day Vatican City and also costars Stanley Tucci and John Lithgow, among others.

Fiennes, a two-time Academy Award nominee, now has four total acting nods from the Critics Choice Awards, including as part of this year's best acting ensemble for Conclave.

Grant, 64, is a seven-time Critics Choice nominee, having won once before: for his small part in 2022's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, as part of the acting ensemble.

Mr. Reed, Grant’s character in Heretic, appears to be harmless at first, welcoming two missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints into his home. But as Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East, respectively) attempt to convert him to their religion, they become enmeshed in a psychologically twisted test of faith.

In a chat with PEOPLE in October 2024, Grant told PEOPLE that the character is a “damaged, bad guy" — but he prefers it that way.

“Good guys are difficult,” he said at the time. "They're difficult to keep from being boring.”

Added the British actor, “I think almost any actor prefers being the damaged, bad guy. It's much more interesting.”

Grant's Glass Onion costar Craig, 56, starred in Luca Guadagnino’s William S. Burroughs adaptation Queer opposite Drew Starkey, Jason Schwartzman and Lesley Manville.

Filmed in between Knives Out installments, the dramatic period piece marked Craig’s sixth nomination from the Critics Choice Awards, where he has won three times.

For Queer, the former James Bond actor also earned a Golden Globe Awards nomination and win from the National Board of Review.
