Everyone cheered his kissing Berry but it looked damn close to an assault to me. \*\* I completely agree. I was disgusted by Adrien Brody. It did look like an assault, and was totally inappropriate. And the comment about the gift bag was nauseating. To me, Halle Berry did NOT look like she was enjoying the kiss. She locked shocked and upset to me. I don’t have it on tape, so I can’t watch that moment again (not that I would want to!) but IIRC she looked really upset and it took her a few moments to collect herself–by the time Brody was finished with his speech (and, btw, what arrogance to think that only HE was important enough to have his time limit extended) she had managed to drag herself together enough to paste on a smile and act like it was no big deal. News flash–forcing yourself on a woman, even just to kiss her, is NOT OK. Ok, getting off soapbox now. Other than that, thoroughly enjoyed the Oscars. The dresses were great, loved U2, Steve Martin had some funny moments. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-oscar-telecast-very-nice-indeed/163717)._
