The incident unfolded in front of a live audience, including Brody’s girlfriend, fashion designer Georgina Chapman, who remained composed and unfazed as the scene played out. Addressing her bold move, Berry captioned the video with a playful remark: “Surprise. I had to pay back somehow.”
Her comment was a nod to an iconic Oscars moment from 2003 when Brody, upon winning Best Actor for The Pianist, famously kissed Berry on stage without prior warning. Now, 22 years later, Berry seemingly returned the favor as Brody won another Oscar—this time for his performance in Brutalist.
Brody took the moment in stride, reacting with humor and repeatedly exclaiming, “I love you!” After the kiss, Berry warmly apologized to Georgina Chapman, who responded with grace. Speaking to Extra, Chapman admitted she had no hard feelings, saying, “How can you refuse a man a kiss from Halle Berry?”
Berry later joked that she had been waiting two decades for the opportunity, calling the moment a long-awaited “revenge.” The playful exchange has since gone viral, reigniting discussions about one of the most memorable Oscar kisses in history.
