Halle Berry got her kiss back from Adrien Brody … planting one on the Academy Award winner’s lips in a callback to a viral moment during the 2003 ceremony.
The two stars hit the Oscars red carpet Sunday night … and, in the middle of one of Brody’s many interviews, Berry interrupted — and pulled the star in for a passionate embrace.

Cillian Murphy‘s presenting the award tonight … and, he’s married — so Adrien should probably keep his tongue to himself if he does win.
