Disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein currently calls Rikers Island his home, serving a lengthy sentence that just might keep him behind bars for the remainder of his life. He recently had the opportunity to voice his side of the story in a conversation with political commentator Candace Owens, where he opened up about the one mistake in filmmaking history he would like to fix.

What’s the one mistake, you ask? Well, according to him, it is the 1957 adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s novel, ‘A Farewell to Arms’. Directed by Charles Vidor, the namesake adaptation failed to impress the audience back in the day, and Weinstein believes that if he were ever granted freedom, he would try his hand at bringing the novel to life and have it done right this time.

When asked what he would do if he were released, Weinstein had his answer ready, work-wise. In the conversation uploaded to Owens’ YouTube channel,...

The prosecution is about to wrap up its case during the ongoing trial against P Diddy at the Manhattan Federal Court. During the court proceedings, many celebrities were mentioned by name. However, Cassie Ventura, Kid Cudi, and Dawn Richard were the only celebrities who testified in court. Nicole Blank Becker, who represented R. Kelly, explained why the prosecution did not bring more celebrities to the stand.

Diddy is facing five counts of serious charges, including one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of s*x trafficking, and two counts of transportation to engage in pr*stitution. If charged, the hip-hop mogul is looking at life in prison.

“Hell is other people,” Jean-Paul Sartre once wrote, but he clearly hadn’t spent enough time watching award shows and sports pressers lately. If you told me that one week I’d be cringing through Adrien Brody hawking gum at Georgina Chapman like it was dodgeball in the Dolby Theatre, and the next I’d be decoding the frosty silence between J.J. Spaun and his wife, I wouldn’t have believed you.

Yet here we are. One man choked on charm at the Oscars; the other forgot to name-check the woman who wiped vomit at 3 a.m. before his championship moment. Two entirely different stages, one identical thread: misread gestures and blown-out-of-proportion reactions that somehow became social media’s emotional buffet.

And me? I’m just over here, sipping my metaphorical tea, wondering if common sense missed its flight again.

J.J. Spaun’s family drama unfolds after Adrien Brody...

Fans saw Adrien Brody take way too long to finish his Oscar speech on the stage after he won Best Actor for The Brutalist, but it was not the first time he cut the orchestra. Brody did the same when he won his first Oscar for The Pianist, and he even kissed Halle Berry unannounced when he received the award.

Brody’s performance in the World War II drama has been received positively, and he was the youngest actor to win the Oscar. He reportedly starved himself and gave up many of his possessions to get into the zone of pianist Władysław Szpilman. However, Joseph Fiennes was reportedly first considered for the role.

Despite two Oscars to his name, Adrien Brody is often not considered to be among his greatest contemporaries.

Georgina Chapman showed us that when your husband gets outed as one of Hollywood’s biggest villains, you can make a couture comeback and find yourself an Oscar-winning boyfriend. That’s how the fashion designer and Marchesa co-founder walked away from her scandal-smeared marriage to Harvey Weinstein.

And guess who was waiting for her at the finish line? Adrien Brody, the Oscar-winning legend from The Pianist and The Brutalist. Their unexpected love story kicked off in 2019 and has since blossomed into something seriously swoon-worthy. So check out how Weinstein’s ex-wife became Brody’s current partner.

Georgina Chapman’s high-profile divorce from Harvey Weinstein

The renowned fashion designer and Marchesa co-founder Georgina Chapman was once married to one of Hollywood’s biggest names, Harvey Weinstein. The duo tied the knot in 2007 and even welcomed two kids—a son and a daughter. However, when Weinstein went from red carpets to courtroom drama,...

P Diddy’s trial is ongoing at the Manhattan Federal Court, where Cassie Ventura, Dawn Richard, and several others have taken the stand against him. Ventura’s former boyfriend, Kid Cudi, had to testify for the prosecution. It is now reported that other famous celebrities with ties to Diddy and Ventura are lawyering up to avoid testifying in the trial.

Diddy is facing five counts of serious charges, including one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of s*x trafficking, and two counts of transportation to engage in pr*stitution. If charged, the hip-hop mogul is looking at life in prison.

Updated, 2:15 Pm: In less than 24 hours, the New York jury in Harvey Weinstein’s rape retrial will begin deliberations.

In all likelihood, the seven-woman, five-man panel could be behind closed doors by mid-morning East Coast time to decide whether the once-swaggering producer will be sitting in a state prison cell for the rest of his days. The defense concluded its long closing argument earlier Tuesday, and now the prosecution has just a bit more to go in its final pitch to the jurors.

Whether it takes less or more to reach a verdict than the five days it took the jury in Weinstein’s now-dismissed 2020 New York sex crimes trial remains to be seen.

Earlier today, defense lawyer Arthur Aidala told a Manhattan jury that Weinstein’s accusers chose to portray consensual sex with the Miramax boss as rape and assault because doing so allowed them to collect settlement money from Weinstein.

Over the past many months, the press has fussed over Harvey Weinstein’s symptoms more obsessively than his doctors, reporting on an ever-worsening medical chart showing spinal stenosis and diabetes, faltering kidneys and vision, lost teeth, through-the-roof thyroid numbers, and the long-term leukemia that the disgraced studio head had long kept secret. Still in regular contact with his two now-teenagers by his fashion designer ex-wife, Georgina Chapman, Weinstein had wanted to shield them from the knowledge of his cancer.

The man just keeps on keeping on, back in Manhattan this week to possibly thwart more expectations — he hopes with an acquittal. A year ago, he was trundled into this same courtroom after his 2020 conviction for sex crimes against then-production assistant Miriam Haley and aspiring actress Jessica Mann capsized in New York State’s Court of Appeals. He looked every bit a wizened Salieri in his wheelchair, hair wispy as a toddler’s,...

Harvey Weinstein used to be one of the most influential figures in the film industry, shaping the careers of actors, directors, screenwriters, and more through his production company, Miramax. Later, he founded The Weinstein Company along with his brother Bob. The producer accomplished many astounding accomplishments during his career, however, his meteoric rise came crashing down in 2017.

After dozens of allegations of s*xual misconduct surfaced, some dating back to the 1970s, his once-unshakable empire came crashing down. Now lodged in New York City’s Rikers Island, the once-celebrated figure is now one of the most disgraced of all time. Here is a look at how his empire went from hundreds of Oscar nods to nothing in a matter of years.

Adrien Brody has two Oscars, but there’s one role that still haunts him, because he turned it down. Back when The Lord of the Rings was gearing up, he had a chance to be part of Middle-earth. Instead, he passed, thinking it wasn’t for him. Then the movies became a global phenomenon, and Brody realized he might’ve miscalculated.

Sure, he’s got an Oscar-winning career, but even then, he can’t erase the “what if?”

Adrien Brody could have been part of Middle-earth, but he turned it down. The Oscar-winning actor revealed that he passed on a role in The Lord of the Rings – a decision he instantly regretted after watching the film in theaters.

Recalling that...

Adrien Brody used his Oscars acceptance speech to share a heartfelt tribute to his partner, Georgina Chapman, and her two children, whom she shares with disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.

The Brutalist star, 51, took home his second Best Actor trophy at the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday, marking a major career milestone. However, it was his touching remarks about Chapman’s children, India, 15, and Dashiell, 13, that caught viewers’ attention.

“I share this with my amazing partner, Georgina, who has not only reinvigorated my own self-worth but my sense of value and my values,” Brody said, growing emotional.

He then addressed India and Dashiell, referring to them as “our children” and thanking them for welcoming him into their lives.

“And our beautiful children, Dash and India. I know this is — it’s been a roller coaster, but thank you for accepting me into your life. And Popsie is coming home a winner,...

Halle Berry and musician Van Hunt’s relationship is going so well that an obvious next step would be their marriage. However, Berry and Hunt have yet to tie the knot and a source explained one possible reason. The source claimed that Berry didn’t want to end up in another failed marriage and it was the fear that was stopping her from committing to Hunt.

Berry has been through three marriages and a number of other relationships that did not end well for her. She was married to baseball player David Justice, singer-songwriter Eric Benét, and French actor Olivier Martinez. She has a daughter with French-Canadian model Gabriel Aubry and a son with Martinez.

László Tóth wasn’t the first Holocaust survivor role that brought Adrien Brody the Best Actor Oscar. At the age of 29, he received his first Oscar for playing Polish-Jewish pianist and Holocaust survivor Władysław Szpilman in Roman Polanski’s The Pianist. He was the youngest actor in Oscars history to be nominated in the category and still holds on to that record.

However, the 2002 film wasn’t the best experience for Brody as he put himself through great misery to bring the real-life character onto the screen. He has opened up about the difficulties during and after filming The Pianist. Last year, he claimed that he suffered from Ptsd due to the weight loss he undertook for the film.

Adrien Brody’s Oscar win made headlines for all the wrong reasons. His lengthy acceptance speech, an unexpected kiss with Halle Berry, and, perhaps most bizarrely, a casual gum toss to his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, had everyone talking.

While the moment seemed not so important, it has since sparked renewed interest in Chapman, especially given her past marriage to Harvey Weinstein. Here is everything to know about the matter!

How much did Georgina Chapman get from her divorce from Harvey Weinstein?

Georgina Chapman walked away from her marriage to Harvey Weinstein with an estimated $15 to $20 million in the divorce settlement, along with primary custody of their two children (as per People). While she moved on, eventually finding love with actor Adrien Brody, Weinstein’s life took a much darker turn.

Adrien Brody won his second Best Actor Oscar at the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday night, but his celebratory moment was overshadowed by a bizarre act that left viewers stunned.

The 51-year-old actor, who won for his performance in The Brutalist, grew emotional as his name was announced, beating nominees Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Sebastian Stan and Ralph Fiennes.

However, as Brody made his way up to the stage, he turned, removed his gum and threw it toward his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, 48—Harvey Weinstein’s ex-wife—who swiftly caught it before he continued his walk to the podium.

Social media erupted in response to the moment, with fans calling it “disgusting” and “disrespectful.” One viewer posted, “Adrien Brody Throwing his gum at Georgina Chapman while on the stairs to accept his award is honestly more shocking to me than Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.” Another added, “Adrien Brody’s wife...

Harvey Weinstein is reacting to Adrien Brody mentioning the children Weinstein shares with his ex-wife during his best actor acceptance speech at the 2025 Oscars on Sunday.

During Brody’s acceptance speech, the Brutalist star took a moment to thank his partner Georgina Chapman — the two were reportedly first linked in 2019 — and the two children she shares with Weinstein. Chapman and Weinstein were married for 13 years until their divorce in 2021 amid the sexual allegations brought forward against Weinstein.

“I share this with my amazing partner, Georgina, who has not only reinvigorated my own self-worth, but my sense of value and my values,” Brody said during his speech. “And her beautiful children, Dash and India, I know this has been a rollercoaster, but thank you for accepting me into your life, and Popsy’s coming home a winner!”

Halle Berry brought about a rather magical moment on the red carpet at the 97th Academy Awards ceremony. Seemingly, out of nowhere, the A-list actress shared a passionate kiss with Adrien Brody, right in front of his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, of all people, and the unforgettable couldn’t have been more heartfelt had it been scripted. Brody was all smiles after being lovingly ambushed by Berry, and The Brutalist star could be heard saying, "I love you," to his contemporary in the video (below).

Berry was recreating some Oscars magic from the past by kissing Brody at the 2025 awards event.

Harvey Weinstein’s abnormal testicles were a key piece of evidence in the trial against him. It was revealed during the trial that the former Hollywood mogul underwent surgery in 1999 which required him to remove his testicles due to Fournier’s Gangrene. According to reports about the surgery, his testicles were taken from his scrotum and put into his inner thighs.

Various victims in the case testified about his abnormal genitalia. The jury in the trial was shown photos of Weinstein’s private parts in a private room in the courthouse. The victim’s description of his genitalia eventually became crucial in proving that he had engaged in s*xual assault.

There’s a saying, “Fame is like a fire—it can warm you or burn you.” Adrien Brody’s latest Oscar win may have warmed his career, but his past comments on Woody Allen have sparked a different kind of firestorm. As he walked up to claim his second Academy Award on Sunday, more than two decades after his first, it was a moment of triumph—but not without a cloud of controversy hanging over it.

A brief acceptance speech gave way to a storm of backlash, reigniting past comments Brody made about working with directors at the center of high-profile sexual assault scandals.

Adrien Brody has made Oscars history again!

The 51-year-old actor won the award for Best Actor for his role in The Brutalist at the 2025 Academy Awards on Sunday (March 2) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

As he accepted his award, Adrien‘s lengthy speech broke the record for the longest acceptance speech in Oscars history.

Keep reading to find out more…Adrien‘s speech clocked in at five minutes and 40 seconds in total.

The record was previously held by Greer Garson when she won Best Actress for Mrs. Miniver in 1943. According to Guinness World Records, Greer‘s speech was five minutes and 30 seconds.

Adrien also currently holds the record for the youngest person to win the Best Actor award for when he won for The Pianist back in 2003 at age 29.

Following his win last night, Adrien explained why he threw his gum to girlfriend Georgina Chapman.

Sherri Shepherd had some words for Halle Berry after the Oscar-winning actress laid a “payback” kiss on Adrien Brody in front his partner Georgina Chapman on the Oscars red carpet Sunday.

One memorable and talked-about moment on social media from the 2025 Oscars happened just after Adrien Brody was announced as the Best Actor winner for his work in The Brutalist.

If you didn’t see, while walking up to the stage to accept his Oscar, the 51-year-old actor paused on the stairs and threw his gum to girlfriend Georgina Chapman, who retrieved it for him.

After his acceptance speech, he caught up with Live With Kelly and Mark and was asked about the moment. Specifically, he was asked why he didn’t just swallow his gum instead of throwing it in the air for her to catch.

Adrien responded, “I could’ve swallowed it, but I didn’t think about that. I had to get rid of it somehow.”

A fun fact: Adrien still holds the record for being the youngest actor to win Best Actor.

As per the Guinness World Records, Adrien Brody‘s best actor acceptance speech at the 2025 Oscars is the longest in Oscars history.

Brody emerged triumphant ahead of Timothée Chalamet, Sebastian Stan, Colman Domingo and Ralph Fiennes at the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood’s biggest night of the year, claiming one of the top performance prizes for his portrayal as Hungarian-Jewish architect László Tóth in The Brutalist.

He came up onstage — not before spitting out his chewing gum and throwing it to partner Georgina Chapman — and ignored the standard 45-second timer to speak for a whopping five minutes and 40 seconds. It beats the record of five minutes and 30 seconds held by Greer Garson, according to Gwr, when she won for Mrs. Miniver in 1943 (though there is no existing footage of the speech in its entirety).

When the music started to cut the star off, he said: “Turn the music off! I’ve done this before.

Adrien Brody’s Oscars kiss with Halle Berry wasn’t just shocking for the audience — his girlfriend’s reaction was just as telling. While she played it cool, body language experts think otherwise.

Berry later admitted she only went along with it to get back at a co-star. So, was Brody’s girlfriend truly unfazed, or just masking her feelings?

Halle Berry made sure to get her revenge — right in front of Adrien Brody’s girlfriend. The actress stunned onlookers by planting a kiss on Brody during the Oscars red carpet, all to settle a 21-year-old score. But while Georgina Chapman played along, a body language expert says her real feelings weren’t so easy to hide.

Adrien Brody won his second Oscar at the 2025 Academy Awards, where his leading turn in Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist” won the best actor prize. His buzzy acceptance speech was proceeded by one of the ceremony’s most viral moments: Brody was chewing gum when his name was called, so he took it out of his mouth while walking up to the stage and threw it to his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman.

Brody and Chapman joined “Live With Kelly and Mark” backstage at the Oscars minutes after his big win, where Brody admitted: “I could’ve swallowed it, but I didn’t think about that. I had to get rid of it somehow.”

Chapman admitted that she actually didn’t catch Brody’s gum. Kelly Ripa played the viral clip back and zoomed in on Chapman, who fumbled the catch as Brody’s gum landed on the Oscars carpet in front of the stage.

The 97th Academy Awards ceremony, held on March 2, 2025, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, delivered a night of historic achievements and emotional acceptance speeches. Comedian Conan O’Brien hosted the prestigious event, which was televised on ABC and streamed on Hulu for the first time.

The night belonged to Sean Baker’s independent film Anora, which swept five major categories, including Best Picture. Baker made Oscar history by becoming the first person to win four Oscars in the same year for the same film, tying Walt Disney’s record for most wins in a single night.

Emilia Pérez led the nominations with 13, followed by The Brutalist and Wicked with 10 each, with all three films taking home multiple awards in a ceremony that celebrated both independent and international cinema.

Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody has been reportedly dating fashion designer Georgina Chapman since 2020. At the 97th Academy Awards, Brody publicly thanked her in his Oscar-winning speech for The Brutalist. Chapman, a British actress and co-founder of luxury brand Marchesa, was previously married to Hollywood producer and convicted s*x-offender Harvey Weinstein.

Georgina Chapman has faced intense public scrutiny during Weinstein’s 2019 s*xual abuse scandal. After separating from Weinstein, Chapman and Brody made their first red carpet debut at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2021 and have made several public appearances together since. Their relationship has since flourished, with the couple making several public appearances together, including at major film festivals and award ceremonies.

Adrien Brody secured his second Academy Award for Best Actor on Sunday for his performance in The Brutalist, playing Hungarian architect László Tóth, a Holocaust survivor seeking a new life in America. Directed by Brady Corbet, the film was nominated in ten categories, including Best Picture.

Backstage, Brody addressed the significance of the film’s themes. “I think we all know that it’s an important time to recognize that there’s no place for intolerance,” he said. “I’m oddly receiving recognition for representing a time in history where we witness racism and oppression … [we] must learn from the past.”

He reflected on the personal connection between his own family’s history and the film’s story. “My grandparents’ struggles and their loss and their resilience have paved the way for my own good fortune,” he said. “And I have an opportunity to honor them in this film. The truths...

The Oscars 2025 red carpet witnessed an iconic blast from the past as Halle Berry and now, the two-time Oscar winner, Adrien Brody, recreated their unforgettable kiss from the Academy Awards more than two decades ago.

Berry, who dazzled in a mirror-studded Christian Siriano gown, made a surprise entrance before wasting no time in announcing her playful intentions.

The 2025 Oscars, Hollywood’s biggest night, didn’t hold back on delivering plenty of emotional, laughable and awkward moments. From Anora owning the night with five wins to Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande’s show-stopping performance to host Conan O’Brien mocking the Emilia Pérez scandal, here are some of Sunday night’s most unforgettable moments.

Anora Owns the Night With Five Wins Darya Ekamasova, Lindsey Normington, Vache Tovmasyan, Karren Karagulian, Alex Coco, Mikey Madison, Mark Eydelshteyn, Samantha Quan, Luna Sofía Miranda, Sean Baker, Drew Daniels and Yura Borisov during Anora‘s best picture win.

Anora steamrolled through the night, with Sean Baker‘s indie upstart winning five Oscars, including best picture and director, and star Mikey Madison staging an upset for best actress. “It’s a dream come true. I’m probably going to wake up tomorrow,” Madison said when accepting the prize. Many of the people involved with the...

Anora steamrolled through the 2025 Oscars on Sunday, with Sean Baker’s indie upstart winning five Oscars, including best picture and director, and star Mikey Madison staging an upset for best actress.

“It’s a dream come true. I’m probably going to wake up tomorrow,” Madison said when accepting her prize.

Many of the people involved with the film no doubt felt the same.

Beginning life as an outsider production backed by the New York-based FilmNation before being acquired by Neon, the class commentary took the Palme d’Or at May’s Cannes Film Festival, endured a whole bunch of lulls throughout the season and then emerged Sunday as one of the most dominant Oscar winners in recent memory.

As Adrien Brody noted during his best actor acceptance speech, the 2025 Oscars were not his “first rodeo.”

Amid emotional remarks, in which among other things he thanked partner Georgina Chapman, the orchestra began playing wrap-up music, which Brody quickly dismissed.

“I’m wrapping up. Please. Please. I will wrap up. Please turn the music off. I’ve done this before. It’s not my first rodeo. I will be brief,” the now two-time Oscar winner said to laughs.

The win comes two decades after a 29-year-old Brody won for the Holocaust drama The Pianist in 2003, making him the youngest best actor Oscar winner of all time. At that show, he famously kissed presenter Halle Berry, and on this year’s red carpet, Berry kissed him in a throwback to that moment.

In his acceptance speech, Brody acknowledged that a career has its ebbs and flows.

“One thing that I’ve gained,...

The big night has finally arrived! While the Oscars are all about celebrating the best in film, let’s be honest: half the fun is in the fashion. “Who are you wearing?” is the most popular question on the red carpet as stars step out in their most dazzling, daring, and dramatic looks. With the event just kicking off, here are some standout outfits from this year’s show that have everyone talking!

First up, the queen herself, Miley Cyrus! She hit the 2025 Oscars red carpet in full-on edgy glamour, rocking a stunning black Alexander McQueen gown. But it wasn’t just the dress that had people talking; Cyrus’ eyebrow (or lack thereof) stole the show.

People are already calling for Adrien Brody‘s gum to get a place in the Academy Museum.

The 51-year-old actor won the award for Best Actor at the 2025 Academy Awards on Sunday (March 2) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

While walking up to the stage to accept his Oscar, Adrien paused on the stairs and threw his gum to girlfriend Georgina Chapman, who caught it while in the front row.

The orchestra tried to play Adrien off stage with music, but he told them to stop playing.

“I’m wrapping up, please turn the music off,” he said. “I’ve done this before. Thank you. It’s not my first rodeo, but I will will be brief.”

This is Adrien‘s second win for Best Actor after previously winning for The Pianist back in 2003. On the red carpet, Halle Berry recreated the moment when he kissed her on stage while accepting the award.

Adrien Brody has won his second Oscar for best actor, for his role in Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist.”

He beat out Timothée Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”), Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”), Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”) and Sebastian Stan (“The Apprentice”) for the statuette.

Walking on stage to accept the trophy, Brody spit his chewing gum into his hand and threw it to his partner, Georgina Chapman. Toward the end of his lengthy and passionate speech, the Academy began to play Brody off with music.

“I’m wrapping up, please turn the music off,” Brody said. “I’ve done this before. Thank you. It’s not my first rodeo, but I will will be brief.”

Brody began his five-minute speech by expressing his gratitude for the life and career he has been afforded.

“Acting is a very fragile profession. It looks very glamorous, and at certain moments it is,” Brody said. “But...

British screenwriter Peter Straughan just won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for Conclave. The papal thriller was reportedly based on the novel of the same name by Robert Harris. The film has been a strong contender at the Oscars with its nominations in Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Score, and more, but Straughan was the film’s first win of the night.

With its Best Adapted Screenplay win, Conclave may have just increased its chances of winning Best Picture. Historically, the Academy has conferred the big award for the Adapted Screenplay winners, even more so than Original Screenplay winners. This might mean bad news for Sean Baker’s Anora.

Fans were looking forward to Halle Berry and Adrien Brody reuniting at this year’s Oscars. Because they had this controversial moment at the Academy Awards 21 years ago. Berry returned to the 2003 edition of the Oscars after winning the Best Actress the previous year to present Brody the Best Actor Oscar. What she didn’t expect was Brody to kiss her on stage in front of the celebrity audience.

Berry has just gotten her sweet revenge. When Brody appeared on the red carpet of the 97th Academy Awards, Berry kissed him back in front of his girlfriend Georgina Chapman. Later, Berry shared that she had been waiting for that moment for the last 21 years.

Talk about a payback 22 years in the making.

On the red carpet ahead of the 2025 Oscars, Halle Berry and Adrien Brody reunited and recreated their shocking kiss at the 2003 Academy Awards.

Hours before the ceremony got underway, the heartwarming moment was caught on camera (below) when Berry ran up to Brody, planting a longing kiss on her fellow Oscar winner. After a smiling Brody gladly accepted the smooch, they embraced as people around cheered.

Berry has been holding out for this payback opportunity, as she told Extra on the red carpet that for “21 years I’ve been waiting to get him on a red carpet and slap one on.”

In 2003, directly after Brody won the best leading actor Oscar for his performance in The Pianist, he turned and shockingly planted a kiss on Berry, who had presented him with the award. At the time, he told her, “I bet they...

This time, she got him.

In 2003, when Adrien Brody won Best Actor for The Piano, he took the stage at the Oscars and laid a very impromptu smooch on an unsuspecting Halle Berry, who presented.

The moment has since become iconic and much discussed, especially in the MeToo era.

Berry explained how it felt to her in a 2017 appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

“That was not planned. I knew nothing about it,” said Berry. “I was like, ‘What the f*ck’s happening right now?’ That is what was going through my mind. And because I was there the year before and I know the feeling of being out of your body, I just f*cking went with it. “But I was like, ‘What the f*ck is going on right now?”

Tonight, on the Oscars red carpet, Berry turned the tables on Brody, who is again nominated for Best Actor.
