The 97th Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles was a night to remember, filled with surprises, emotions, and a touch of humor. Holly Berry made headlines with her unexpected "revenge" on Adrien Brody, recreating their infamous 2003 Oscar kiss.

Holly Berry's Bold Move

After patiently waiting 22 years, Holly Berry took her moment on the Oscars red carpet to surprise Adrien Brody with a kiss, echoing his unexpected gesture from 2003. Berry's Instagram post captured the playful moment:

"Surpriiise, Adrien Brody! I had to repay the favor."

The crowd loved it, but not every action by Brody that night was celebrated. Winning the award for Best Actor, Adrien Brody's decision to casually toss his gum to girlfriend Georgina Chapman as he headed to the stage sparked debate over decorum and respect.

Adam Sandler's Casual Statement

Adam Sandler turned heads with his unconventional Oscars attire—sporting a hoodie and gym shorts. Sparking a humorous exchange with host Conan O'Brien, Sandler's look was compared to "a guy playing video poker at 2 AM." Sandler's playful departure from the ceremony, complete with a hug for Timothée Chalamet, left audiences chuckling.

Heartfelt Moments and Promises

Meanwhile, Zoë Saldana tugged at heartstrings, shouting "Mom! My mom is here!" as she teared up on stage, reminding everyone of the emotional connections that transcend fame.

Kieran Culkin's acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor was both humorous and touching, as he revealed his wife Jazz promised a fourth child if he won an Oscar. The internet loved the candid promise.

A Night of Glamour and Support

Not to be outdone, Scarlett Johansson had her own moment of charm, pausing on the red carpet to enjoy a shot of tequila with comedian Guillermo Rodriguez, ensuring her delightful mood for the evening.

Amidst the glamour, actress Daryl Hannah took a stand, publicly supporting Ukraine from the Oscar stage, adding a touch of activism to the night's events.

From iconic kisses to personal pledges, the Oscars 2025 delivered a dazzling mix of fashion, emotion, and unforgettable moments.
