Brody shocked Berry with an unplanned kiss during his acceptance of the 2003 Best Actor award for “The Pianist,” a scene that has since been the subject of much discussion.
Wearing a Christian Siriano gown, Halle Berry approached Brody on the red carpet at this year’s ceremony and planted a playful kiss on him, calling it “payback” for their earlier run-in.

It is interesting to note that Brody’s girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, was present and seemed amused by the gesture. The initial kiss in 2003 was unplanned and caught Berry off guard, leading to discussions about consent in subsequent years.
