Now to another look at this year's upcoming Oscars.

One of the year's most acclaimed films, The Brutalist, received 10 nominations.

And its star, Adrian Brody, a winner at last month's Golden Globes, is a favorite for actor in a leading role.

He recently joined senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown for our arts and culture series, Canvas.

May I keep this?

In The Brutalist, Adrian Brody plays Laslo Toth, a fictional Jewish-Hungarian architect,

survivor of a Nazi concentration camp.

His past always present as an immigrant and outsider in post-war America.

For Brody, it was the kind of deeply meaningful role that comes only rarely in the life of an actor.

You are receiving material, interpreting material to the best of your abilities,

and sometimes that material comes and is incredibly powerful and sometimes it's powerful.

But when you have something that's incredibly powerful, it really, it's something.

There was a war on, and yet many of the sites of my projects that survived.

My buildings were devised to endure such erosion.

The film directed by Brady Corbe is big in every way.

Big dreams, big buildings, big personalities. A story that unfolds over several decades

and runs some three and a half hours long, including rare these days and intermission.

Brody is there for nearly every minute, playing a damaged, complicated man, driven by his art and his need to build.

Most deeply creative people have moments of, I don't know, unpredictability, you know,

they're just, they're consumed with work and ideas and, you know, can't do everything right.

When you get a role, do you immediately start thinking who is this person?

In this case, who is Laslo Toth?
