Highlights from the 2025 Oscars: A Night of Surprises and Stars
The 2025 Oscars made a grand impression, living up to its reputation as one of Hollywood’s most anticipated nights of celebration.
Leading the buzz was Halle Berry, whose unexpected kiss with Adrien Brody became the standout moment on the red carpet.
In a playful exchange with “Extra’s” Melvin Robert and Terri Seymour, Berry remarked on the long wait for this moment, saying, “Twenty-one years I’ve been waiting to get him on a red carpet and slap one on.” This affectionate display was reminiscent of a similar moment from 2003, when Brody surprised Berry with a kiss after winning the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in “The Pianist.”
Notably, Berry confirmed that Brody’s girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, was completely supportive of the kiss, remarking, “Only because she was fine.”
The event also served as a romantic outing for many celebrity couples. Kieran Culkin was accompanied by his wife, Jazz, while Zoe Saldaña walked the red carpet alongside her husband, Marco Perego. Other couples, such as Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff, as well as Miles Teller and Keleigh Teller, shared this star-studded evening together.
In contrast, Selena Gomez attended the Oscars alone on the red carpet but later reunited with her fiancé, Benny Blanco, once inside the theater. Similarly, Timothée Chalamet struck a solo pose initially but was later seen engaging in affectionate gestures with his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, in their seats.
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater also made an entrance apart from each other on the red carpet; however, the pair was later spotted holding hands, showcasing their connection as the night unfolded.
