  1. >Twenty-two years after their shocking kiss at the 2003 Academy Awards, Halle Berry surprised Adrien Brody on the 2025 Oscars red carpet with a kiss of her own. Berry, who’s slated to present at the 2025 Oscars ceremony, spotted “The Brutalist” star and best actor nominee Brody on the red carpet, and seized the opportunity to pay him back for their now-infamous kiss at the 2003 ceremony.

    >“That was one hell of a night for him, and for me as well. To be a part of his moment… tonight I had to pay him back,” Berry joked with Variety’s Marc Malkin on the Oscars Red Carpet. “I’ve seen him out at parties, but this is the first time since that night that I’ve seen him on the red carpet somewhere. He’s nominated this year. He deserved that.”

  2. WOW! No one gives a fuck.

    We’re losing our democracy and these Hollywood fucks are sucking each others dick.

  3. Oh no, poor guy. She really got him. I hope she doesn’t get me, too… please.

  5. Seeing these photos makes me kinda wish they would do a romance movie together

  6. And a few weeks back people were calling Adrian Brody scum of the earth on this same sub

  9. This confuses me a bit because in an interview she made it seem like she was upset over it. She was not aware he was going to do that and was like “WTF is going on?” Maybe she didn’t mean to say it the way she said it, but people started calling Adrien inappropriate and he was getting called out for it. He came out saying in a People magazine interview how: “…nothing that I ever do or have done or would’ve done is ever done with the intention of making anyone feel bad.” Then she comes out and kisses him at the red carpet? Adrien Brody seems like such a sweet guy and I love Halle Berry but this whole thing seems weird.

  10. Good precedent to set by rewarding sexual assault.

  12. Now when people shit on him they can’t use that against him although they still will.

  15. Is no one gonna mention her doing this infront of his partner? “I’m sorry Georgina..”

  16. When Adrien kissed, Halle, wasn’t Adrien getting dragged and getting hate for it ?

  18. To be honest, I was hoping if he won tonight, the actor presenting the award planted a big smooch on him. Now THAT is actual payback – having Halle Berry surprise you with a kiss sounds as harsh of torture as getting waterboarded by million dollar bills.

  20. I wonder what his partner thought. Hollywood is weird

  21. You got to love people getting mad on behalf of others who aren’t asking for their help

  22. I didn’t know it was this guy.

    Pompous guy who overstays his welcome (on the stage) impulsively kissing a woman/colleague….

    Makes sense it was this guy.
