What Adam Brody Told Wife Leighton Meester in Critics Choice Speech

Originally appeared on E! Online Time to give a big "mazel tov" to Adam Brody. The Nobody Wants This star picked up the 2025 Critics Choice Awards for Best Actor Comedy Series for his work as Rabbi Noah Roklov on the Netflix series during the Feb. 7 ceremony hosted by Chelsea Handler. And it was quite a momentous occasion for Adam, who beat out fellow nominees Brian Jordan Alvarez (English Teacher), David Alan Grier (St. Denis Medical), Steve Martin (Only Murders in The Building), Kayvan Novak (What We Do in the Shadows) and Martin Short (Only Murders in The Building) for the award.

Taking the stage at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif., the 45-year-old thanked his wife of 10 years Leighton Meester, with whom he shares daughter Arlo, 9, and a 4-year-old son, whose name has never been publicly shared. "My darling, darling, darling wife Leighton," he said during his acceptance speech, "thank you for sharing this life with me and this journey with me. Thank you for our family." Adam continued, "I love you with all my heart." More from E!

"We had the immense pleasure of filming this in Los Angeles," he shared. "Can't wait to run it back with you guys in a few weeks." He added in an aside to Kristen, "Thank you for your talent. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for your belief in me. This is a Hanukkah present for you." Since Nobody Wants This' 2024 release, Adam has had a chance to reflect on how thrilled he was for a chance to play the unconventional rabbi, and experience the romantic journey his character Noah goes through alongside Kristen's agnostic podcast host Joanne. "I wanted it. I only got the first episode of the script but I thought it was charming, and a fun role that felt both comfortable and a familiar, fun place to play," he told The Hollywood Reporter in October. "At the same time, the character being a rabbi meant that it had this whole other side to it. I had a lot to learn and study so that I could do an actorly thing with it." The O.C. alum also admitted that at this point in his career, he's a bit choosier with the roles he takes. "Any professional should be opinionated about what they do, but I think I'm much more pragmatic in terms of what I do," he explained. "I don't consider myself incredibly picky. I understand the reality of going to work and I enjoy work, and there's not much of a strong correlation between the quality of a project and the joy I have making it. It has a lot more to do with the personalities involved. All of that is to say that going to work is its own joy, too." To see more winners from the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, keep reading.
