The actress was spotted kissing "The Brutalist" star at the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles — a playful callback to their 2003 Oscars moment when Brody surprised Berry with a kiss while accepting his best actor award for "The Pianist."

Brody would go on to win his second Oscar at Sunday night's ceremony, taking home the Oscar for best actor in a leading role for his starring role in "The Brutalist."
