Twenty years after Adrien Brody’s famous surprise kiss at the 2003 Oscars, Halle Berry got her revenge in a scene that caused quite a stir on the red carpet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The expression “revenge is a dish best served cold”<\/strong> was never truer than at the 97\u1d49 Oscars ceremony<\/strong>. WhileAdrien Brody<\/strong> was in the middle of an interview, Halle Berry<\/strong> approached him with a mischievous smile before taking him in her arms and kissing him. A symbolic way of closing a two-decade-old chapter. <\/p>\n\n

A cult moment revisited<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

This gesture echoes the 2003 Oscars<\/strong>, when Halle Berry, then winner of the Best Actress Oscar<\/strong> for In the Shadow of Hate<\/em>, presented the Best Actor<\/strong> award to Adrien Brody<\/strong> for The Pianist<\/em>. Overcome with emotion, the actor surprised her by kissing her passionately on stage. At the time, Halle Berry played along with a nervous laugh, but over the years, the moment has raised questions about consent. <\/p>\n\n
