Halle Berry got revenge on Adrien Brody for that infamous unexpected kiss more than two decades later!

As a staff writer at BuzzFeed, I write about all things celeb and pop culture.

He added, "All respect to the ballet and opera people out there. Damn, I just took shots for no reason."

"I mean, he wouldn't be an actor and have the opportunities he has as a movie star if it weren't for opera and ballet and their relevance in that medium. All of these mediums have a space, and we shouldn't be comparing them," she said.

In a statement via Netflix, Karla said, "As someone in a marginalized community, I know this suffering all too well, and I am deeply sorry to those I have caused pain. All my life, I have fought for a better world. I believe light will always triumph over darkness."

More offensive past tweets emerged, and Karla released another statement, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "I'm sorry, but I can no longer allow this campaign of hate and misinformation to affect neither my family nor me anymore, so at their request I am closing my account on X.  I have been threatened with death, insulted, abused and harassed to the point of exhaustion. I have a wonderful daughter to protect, whom I love madly and who supports me in everything. I had long ago made the decision to close a social network [sic], which has taken a terrible turn, in which I have also sometimes fallen, and for which I apologize.

As part of this society, I have expressed my disagreement or agreement with all the related issues that have touched me and of which I have had an opinion, often erroneous, which has changed throughout my own experience. I have always used my social media as a diary, reflections or notes, to later create stories or characters, not as something that would be scrutinized down to the last of its 140 characters, since sometimes I, myself, am not even aware of having written something negative.

I have defended each and every one of the minorities in this world and supported freedom of religion and any action against racism and homophobia in the same way that I have criticized the hypocrisy that underlies them, because the first thing I am critical of is myself. You will never hear me support a war, an injustice, extremism or applaud anyone who oppresses other human beings. Perhaps my words are not correct, many times due to ignorance or pure mistake. I apologize again if anyone has ever felt offended or in the future. I am a human being who also made, makes and will make mistakes from which I will learn. I am not perfect. Taking my words out of context or manipulating them to hurt me is something I am not responsible for.

I am only responsible for what I say, not for what others say I say or what others interpret from what I say. I hope to have the opportunity to give a more extensive explanation at some point. Forgive me because I keep going from one side to the other and I cannot be responding to every single thing you bring up to try to sink me. But if you want, you can continue attacking me as if I were responsible for hunger and wars in the world. I apologize again if I have ever offended anyone with my words in my life.

I am only Karla Sofía Gascón, an actress who has reached where very few have thanks to her effort and work, without stealing or harming anyone in this world, just trying to get them to let me live in peace, love and respect, something that seems to bother a lot of people in this world. It is clear that there is something very dark behind it. But I tell you something: 'The more you try to sink me, the stronger it will make me. The greater the victory will be.' Please forgive me once again if any of my words hurt you."

"All nominees are invited to attend the show. That stands. If Karla joins us for the night, I hope there is an air of respect. We have over 200 nominees. The night is about much more than one person. We are there to celebrate all of our nominees," he concluded.

Selena continued, "But I choose to continue to be proud of what I've done, and I'm just… I'm just grateful and live with no regrets. I would do this movie over and over again if I could."

In the end, Karla did attend the Oscars, though she lost Best Actress to Mikey Madison.

In her memoir Worthy, she wrote, "It was not because of the jab at my alopecia but, honestly, about the people I had met whose condition was far worse than mine," she continued. "That was indeed a very light joke, as many expressed, but it was not about me. I was frustrated that the majority of folks can't seem to understand how devastating alopecia can be. My heart broke for the many who live in shame. ... And now the Oscars, in all its political correctness, was telling the world it was okay to make jokes at the expense of a woman suffering from alopecia?

It was disheartening, and I didn't take personal offense. I took offense because the condition of alopecia was being mocked. I was going to be fine. This was just another day in the salt mines of the world we inhabited."

Four months later, Will addressed the incident in a YouTube video. He said, "I've reached out to Chris, and the message that came back is that he is not ready to talk — and when he is, he will reach out... I will say to you, Chris: I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk... I spent the last three months replaying and understanding the nuances and the complexities of what happened in that moment. I can say to all of you, there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment...to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults."

In Worthy, Jada said, "I thought, ‘This is a skit.' ... I was like, ‘There's no way that Will hit him. It wasn't until Will started to walk back to his chair that I even realized it wasn't a skit... We had been living separate lives and were there as family, not as husband and wife. But when I hear Will yell 'wife' in the chaos of the moment, an internal shift of 'Oh shit...I am his wife!' happens instantly."

It turned out that someone had given Warren the wrong envelope, so he and Faye accidentally read the Best Actress winner, which Emma Stone had been awarded immediately prior.

Behind the scenes, Warren showed director Barry Jenkins the correct envelope so that he could be confident his film Moonlight was the true winner.

The streaker, Robert Opel, later posed in the press room. He said, "It just occurred to me that it might be an educative thing to do. You know, people shouldn’t be ashamed of being nude in public. Besides, it's a hell of a way to launch a career."

Afterwards, some viewers had a conspiracy theory that the streaking was a planned publicity stunt, especially given the host's quick, witty reaction. 

However, producer Jack Haley Jr. said there was "no way" it could have been planned. He told the New Yorker, "David wouldn't have stood for that."

On The Mike Douglas Show, Robert said that he snuck through security using a press pass he got from a friend. He waited around backstage and acted helpful. Then, at the start of the broadcast, he ducked behind some scenery and stripped off his jumpsuit. He remained hidden until the final envelope of the night.

On Instagram, he joked about it, saying, "I got no sleep last night. I'm gonna keep this video short because I know I made the longest Oscar speech in history. So, I'm gonna keep it short. You know, I'm grateful. Keep smiling. And I hope this proves that dreams can come true, and I hope that your dreams come true as well. God bless you."

Giuliana made a public apology, telling E!, "I'd really like to address something that is weighing very heavy on my heart. Something I said last night did cross the line. I want to say to Zendaya and anyone else out there that I have hurt that I am so, so sincerely sorry... This incident has taught me to be a lot more aware of clichés and stereotypes, how much damage they can do."

After she died, she left the statuette to Howard University. Sadly, it went missing in the 1970s and was never found. 

However, in 2023, the Academy finally gave the university a replacement of Hattie's Oscar.

Both Sacheen and Marlon received a lot of backlash from the press and their peers. However, it was, of course, much worse for Sacheen. For example, she was plagued by false rumors that she wasn't really Apache, and Playboy dug up previously rejected pictures she'd posed for and published a three-page spread.

In a 2022 interview with the Academy, she said, "[John Wayne] did not like what I was saying up at the podium. So, he came forth in a rage to physically assault and take me off the stage. And he had to be restrained by six security men in order for that not to happen... [Afterwards] a lot of cheap shots were thrown at me. And there were a lot of rumors, gossip columnists that were trying to make it something that it was not. And I was boycotted from every talk show while people talked about me. I could not and was not allowed to speak for myself. It was as though I was silenced."

In 2022, the Academy released a formal apology to Sacheen. David Rubin, the then-president of the Academy, wrote, "The abuse you endured because of this statement was unwarranted and unjustified. The emotional burden you have lived through and the cost to your own career in our industry are irreparable. For too long, the courage you showed has been unacknowledged. For this, we offer both our deepest apologies and our sincere admiration."

Bette and Joan's rivalry was further complicated by the fact that Franchot married Joan while filming Dangerous with Bette, who felt the other woman took him from her "coldly, deliberately, and with complete ruthlessness."

However, she later admitted that her nerves played a much bigger part than she was willing to admit. 

Speaking to biographer Charlotte Chandler for the book Not the Girl Next Door, she said, "I was afraid of losing... The tension is so terrible when you're sitting there waiting. Waiting for Best Actress means sitting there almost the entire evening. You have to look composed and applaud at all the right moments...Then, when you lose, and I was certain I would, you have to sit there through the last awards wearing your best face … I wouldn't know what part to play after I heard the words that someone else had won, probably Ingrid [Nelson]."

Per Harper's Bazaar, their rivalry began in 1933, when news of Joan's divorce from Douglas Fairbanks Jr. overshadowed Bette's Ex-Lady publicity campaign. 

A few months later, Angelina told Entertainment Weekly that it was nothing "more than brotherly" between her and James. She said, "My parents really loved that moment, and that’s what will always matter."

A lot of people made incest jokes about them, including Jay Leno. So, when Angelina appeared on The Tonight Show, she confronted him about it.

She said, "I’ve been waiting for this. When somebody says stuff about your family, it’s just not OK. And my mom's just not been OK about the stuff about me and my brother. … Just do me a favor and read these things you've said. I highlighted the two that she really appreciated — it made her sick."

Jay read the two jokes she'd highlighted on a piece of paper. When he tried to defend himself, she interrupted him and said, "No, you're not the only one, and it's good of you to jump in with everybody else. Sometimes it's good to just stand up for something."

The situation became a PR crisis for the Academy, who ended up dropping their rule that barred blacklisted creatives from awards nominations.

In a statement, Academy CEO Bill Kramer said, "The Academy has determined the activity in question does not rise to the level that the film's nomination should be rescinded. However, we did discover social media and outreach campaigning tactics that caused concern. These tactics are being addressed with the responsible parties directly."

The Best Actress award ultimately went to Michelle Yeoh.

"I felt age 4, being confronted by my older sister. Damn it, I'd incurred her wrath again!" she wrote.

Here's some background info on their lifelong rivalry:

• In her memoir, Joan alleged that her own birth in 1917 sparked the feud with Olivia, who didn't want to share their parents' attention. As children, they got into a lot of fights, and one ended with Joan breaking her collarbone. When they were in high school, Olivia, who was the school's newspaper editor, published a fake will that said, "I bequeath to my sister the ability to win boys’ hearts, which she does not have at present.” 

• They both followed in their mother's footsteps by pursuing acting careers. Olivia made her silver screen debut in 1935 and signed a contract with Warner Bros. Studios, while her sister served as her personal driver.  However, one night while Joan was waiting to pick her sister up, a studio employee came up to her and told her that he wanted to help her break into the film industry. Their mother insisted that Warner Bros. was "Olivia's studio," so Joan took her stepfather's surname and signed a deal with RKO. 

• In 1939, Joan married Brian Aherne, her sister's ex-boyfriend. The night before the wedding, Olivia's then-boyfriend, Howard Hughes, tried to convince Joan to marry him instead.

• Joan also told the Hollywood Reporter that Olivia only got a role in Gone with the Wind because she turned it down and suggested her sister instead. Around the same time, Joan got her big break in Rebecca. 

Here's how their feud ultimately played out:

• When their mother died in 1975, Joan was out of the country, and she wasn't invited to the memorial service until she threatened to leak the story to the press unless the date was moved to accommodate her. She told People, "Olivia and the executor of the estate took full charge, disposing of Mother’s effects...without bothering to consult me.” They did not speak to each other at the funeral.

• Over the next few decades, they refused to speak to each other and requested to be kept apart at events. In 2013, Olivia told the Hollywood Reporter that she was close with her niece Deborah, who had once been estranged from Joan because she still talked to her aunt.  In the same article, Joan said, "This 'Olivia feud' has always irritated me because it has no basis. To this day, it has no basis!”

• When Joan died in 2013, Olivia released a statement that said, "I was shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of my sister, Joan Fontaine, and my niece, Deborah, and I appreciate the many kind expressions of sympathy that we have received.”

She went on to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress two more times, in 2002 and 2009.

April said, "It could’ve been a bunch of different things — there were no women in the directors category, there were no visibly disabled people nominated — so #OscarsSoWhite has never just been about race. It's about the underrepresentation of all marginalized groups."

Then-Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs said, "We had already been working toward increasing diversity and inclusion, but we went from first to fourth gear."

In response, the Academy announced its plans to double "the number of women and diverse members of the Academy by 2020."

In a statement, Cheryl said, "The Academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up. These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact and begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition."

By 2020, the Academy had actually fulfilled that promise, and it also established an Office of Representation, Inclusion, and Equity.

Several years after her search began, Olivia, then a PhD student at Columbia, decided to find the missing Oscar. Eventually, she found out that a Dallas auction house had sold it, though they'd wrongly labeled it as a "replacement" of Alice's original Oscar. However, Olivia was unable to get in touch with the anonymous buyer to tell them the truth. 

In 2018, she told Mother Jones, "My plan is to keep talking about Alice Brady’s not-stolen Oscar and hope that the message gets to them."

He continued, "The cast was the crew, and the crew was kind of the cast, and it was an unprofessional environment and, you know, the buck had to stop with me being one of the producers, and I have to accept responsibility for that, and that was a mistake. I don't even know if I thought of myself as the boss. But I behaved in a way and allowed others to behave in a way that was really unprofessional. And I'm sorry."

He continued, "I recalled reading Oscar articles to Mama, as she blessed me and cried for joy; sending clippings to my brothers and sisters about my four nominations — which they innocently mistook as winning four awards, and sent back 'Bravo! Bravo!' letters. Big stupido — running up to get an Oscar, dying with excitement, only to crawl back dying with shame."

But don't be too sad for Capra — he went on to win Best Director in 1935, 1936, and 1938! He also won the Oscar for Best Documentary in 1943.
