The
ongoing
97th
edition
of
The
Academy
Awards
left
fans
of
Adrien
Brody
and
Halle
Berry
nostalgic.
Before
the
commencement
of
the
ceremony,
Halle
Berry
bumped
into
Brody
and
kissed
him
on
camera,
recreating
the
2003
moment
when
Adrien
had
shared
a
passionate
kiss
with
her
on
stage.
Brody
famously
kissed
Halle
when
he
accepted
his
Oscar
for
Roman
Polanski’s
The
Pianist
from
Halle, keeping
with
Oscars
tradition
in
which
the
previous
year’s
acting
winners
return
to
present
the
category
for
the
opposite
sex.

Berry
made
history
in
2002
when
she
took
home
the
Best
Actress
Oscar
for
Monster’s
Ball,
becoming
the
first
Black
actress
to
take
home
that
trophy.
‘If
you’re
known
by
the
company
you
keep,
tonight’s
recipient
of
the
Oscar
for
Best
Performance
by
an
Actor
will
be
known
as
a
major,
major
player,’
Berry
said
before
introducing
the
2003
nominees.
After
Berry
announced
Brody
as
the
winner,
the
actor
rushed
onstage,
embraced
Berry
and
kissed
her
passionately
for
several
seconds.
‘I
bet
they
didn’t
tell
you
that
was
in
the
gift
bag,’
he
told
Berry,
who
looked
shocked
as
she
wiped
her
lips.
This
year,
Brody
is
nominated
for
his
performance
as
Hungarian-Jewish
architect
and
Holocaust
survivor
Laszlo
Toth
in
Brady
Corbet’s
The
Brutalist,
and
Halle
was
at
hand
to
return
the
favour.
