The 97th Academy Awards will also be remembered for another unexpected moment. Actors Adrien Brody and Halle Berry recreated their iconic scene from the 2003 Oscars. Back then, Brody, after winning the award for Best Actor for The Pianist, took to the stage to accept his statuette and passionately kissed Berry, who was presenting the award. This time, the actors decided to relive the moment — only now, on the red carpet.
As the two stars posed for photographers, Brody leaned in, and Berry, laughing, played along, recreating the now-famous kiss that stunned audiences more than two decades ago. The moment quickly went viral, sparking nostalgia among film fans and reigniting conversations about unexpected Oscar moments.
Social media erupted with reactions, with some calling it a fun tribute and others debating its spontaneity. Regardless, the lighthearted reenactment added a memorable touch to a night already filled with surprises, making the 97th Academy Awards one for the history books.
