'The Brutalist's AI Controversy and Oscar Chances, Explained
Recent headlines and potential debunking surrounding the use of AI in 'The Brutalist' may have impacted its chances at the Academy Awards.

The Brutalist has gone from critical darling and potential frontrunner for the Academy Awards to now a widely controversial pick following the revelation that the movie used AI tools to enhance a scene for the actors' voices and possibly used generative AI in the film's final moments. While director Brady Corbet has denied the use of generative AI and explained the specific audio tool, The Brutalist is the latest in a long line of movies in 2024 that were caught using AI, from Late Night with the Devil to Civil War to fellow Oscar contender Emilia Pérez.
