The Brutalist star Adrien Brody reunited with Halle Berry tonight on the Oscars red carpet and the pair recreated one of the most iconic moments in Oscars history. Halle, 58, who won an Oscar in 2001 for Monster’s Ball, grabbed Adrien and planted a smashing kiss on his lips as soon as they came face-to-face, leaving everyone in the Dolby Theatre as well as watching from home, shocked. The Die Another Day actress joked that the surprise lip lock was ‘payback’ for when Adrien had pulled her in for a theatrical kiss during the 2003 ceremony, right after he had won his Academy Award for The Pianist.
Interrupting Adrien’s red carpet bytes with reporters, Halle addressed Adrien’s partner, Georgina Chapman , right before going in for the kiss and said: "I'm sorry, Georgina, but I've gotta do it." She subsequently wrapped her arms around the actor’s neck, held his shoulder with her other hand, and dove straight in for the kiss. Watch the Oscars with Hulu + Live TV.

The highly-watched race for best actor in a leading role faced a massive upheaval last week at the SAG Awards when Timothée Chalamet took home the coveted gong in a shock win, for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in the music legend’s biopic A Complete Unknown. Currently, Adrien holds the coveted title of being the youngest-ever winner of the Best Actor category, having won the award at the age of 29 for his powerful performance in The Pianist (2002).
He stopped Timothee from breaking this record by taking the win home again tonight. Prior to the SAG shock, Adrien was largely considered to be the running favourite and was touted to clean sweep the best actor awards during this awards season, having previously won at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, the Critics Choice Movie Awards and the New York Film Critics Circle Awards..
