All the best bits and odd bits from the Oscars that are worth knowing about
The 2025 Oscars featured notable moments, including Halle Berry surprising Adrien Brody with a kiss, referencing their past interaction from 22 years ago. Mikey Madison made an appearance in the press room, while Monica Gascón, despite backlash over racist tweets, attended the ceremony as a Best Actress nominee, sparking gasps during a joke about her film's language use. The event also highlighted criticism of films with strong audience appeal, such as *Dune: Part Two*, and Adrien Brody faced backlash for a self-indulgent Oscars moment involving gum and ignoring a music cue.
