Just a few hours after the surprise kiss, Brody would go on to win his second Oscar, taking home the 2025 Oscar for best actor in a leading role for his starring role in \"The Brutalist.\"

Last month, Brody reflected on the unexpected kiss in an interview with Variety, acknowledging how times have changed.

\"We live in a very conscious time, which is a wonderful thing,\" he said, adding, \"Nothing that I ever do or have done or would've done is ever done with the intention of making anyone feel bad.\"

Berry, who has spoken about the moment before, previously admitted she was caught off guard.

In a 2017 interview on \"Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,\" she recalled thinking, \"What the f--- is happening right now?\" but went along with it, understanding the rush of emotions that come with winning an Oscar.

Despite the controversy, Berry has shown nothing but support for Brody over the years, even congratulating him on his Golden Globe win in January for \"The Brutalist.\"

\"Congratulations my friend. You are truly one of one!\" she commented on one of Brody's Instagram posts in January.
