Adrien Brody Defends Divisive Gum-Tossing Moment At This Year's Oscars
As Oscars ceremonies go, this year's was a pretty straightforward affair, but Best Actor recipient Adrien Brody did manage to squeeze in a fair few unpredictable moments. The star of The Brutalist's acceptance speech veered off in a slightly meandering fashion, to the point producers tried (and failed!) to play him off, but it's for a moment right before he took to the stage that he's really gone viral. Shortly after being announced as the winner of this year's Best Actor prize, Adrien celebrated with his partner, Georgina Chapman, and co-stars Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce. As he headed towards the stage, it quickly dawned on him that he still had chewing gum in his mouth, so took it out and tossed it in Georgina's direction before he headed up the stairs to deliver his speech – in a moment that has already generated a lot of conversation on social media. Adrien Brody tosses gum to girlfriend on his way to accept Oscar — New York Post (@nypost) March 3, 2025 Speaking to Live With Kelly And Mark moments after his victory, Adrien claimed he 'had to get rid of' the gum 'somehow' and it hadn't entered his mind that he could swallow it. It's worth pointing out, too, that Georgina seemed more than happy to catch the errant gum, even chasing him as he made his way to the stage to make sure he didn't deliver his speech while obnoxiously masticating. But this wasn't the only headline-grabbing moment Adrien was part of at the 2025 Oscars. Hours before the ceremony got underway, he was approached on the red carpet by his friend Halle Berry, who grabbed him for a Hollywood kiss, in what she described as 'pay back' for an infamous moment that happened on stage at the Oscars after Adrien's first Best Actor win more than 20 years ago. A reunion 22 years in the making. # — The Academy (@TheAcademy) March 2, 2025 Georgina was seen cheering on the moment, and later quipped to Extra: 'I mean, how can you deny a man a kiss with Halle Berry?' The pair have been an item for about five years, with the two-time Oscar winner shouting out Georgina and her children during his acceptance speech on Sunday. Georgia had two children during her marriage to disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. 37 Must-See Moments You Might Have Missed From This Year's Oscars Ceremony Oscars Host Conan O'Brien Takes Swipe At Donald Trump During Ceremony This Is What Kieran Culkin Actually Said In His Censored Oscars Acceptance Speech

A Demi Moore Oscar Win Would've Been Monumental For Horror Fans Everywhere
The 2025 awards season paid some long overdue attention to some of the best horror films of the last year. 'The Substance' racked up nominations among several awards bodies, including the Academy Awards, where it was recognized in the Best Picture and Best Actress categories. Its star, Demi Moore, won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award, among other accolades. The film only took home Best Makeup and Hairstyling at Sunday's Oscars ceremony, but there were several fans of the film rooting for Moore to take home the statuette for leading actress. Demi Moore made a movie about how Hollywood treats older actresses, only to end up losing the Oscar for Best Actress to a younger actress# — ⋆Sue (@Stardelar) March 3, 2025 demi moore was absolutely snubbed and you'll NEVER change my mind. The oscar's just proved square and fair they don't take older womenseriously and they don't take Horror seriously. I am fucking floored — ♱ (@cinemetary) March 3, 2025 Demi Moore deserved so much more recognition and deep down, everyone knows it. She delivered the performance of a lifetime in THE SUBSTANCE and I would've loved to see her win tonight 💚 forever MY winner, I love her so much # — Mar (@_martremblay) March 3, 2025 My heart broke as much as Demi Moore's did when she didn't hear her name. This was her year for sure. Horror always getting unfairly treated! #Oscars# — BLURAYANGEL 🦇 (@blurayangel) March 3, 2025 But perhaps Moore's loss to Mikey Madison of 'Anora' shouldn't have surprised anyone who knows about the history of the Oscars. Since the birth of the Academy Awards nearly 100 years ago, the voting members have always treated genre films with disdain. The term 'genre film' is used by critics and academics to describe films that exist in categories that have often been dismissed as lowbrow art. Horror, sci-fi and action movies all fit in the category. Only seven horror films have been nominated for Best Picture, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Out of those movies, 'The Exorcist' and 'Get Out' are the only two that I'd classify as horror, and they both lost the prize to their respective nominees. The other four films ('Jaws,' 'The Silence of the Lambs,' 'The Sixth Sense' and 'Black Swan') all use horror tropes, but even the most squeamish cinephile might be able to view these films without covering their eyes. 'The Silence of the Lambs' became the first genre film to win Best Picture in 1992, but since then, it has felt like the Academy has relegated genre films to their ignored corner of the industry once more. While genre films aren't entirely ignored at various awards shows, they are often forced into the confines of technical awards and almost always miss out in the Acting, Screenplay and Picture categories. However, this year's awards season saw a small shift, with awards campaigns for 'The Substance,' 'A Different Man' and 'Nosferatu' suggesting that committees may be looking at these films differently. These three films have had major success in critics' circles like the Gotham Awards, the Critics Choice Awards and the Dorian Awards. Now, they are rising to a spot that many genre films of the past have been unable to reach. Awards voters love a timely film, and all three of these movies check that box. 'The Substance,' a body horror that lays Hollywood's treatment of older female actors bare, pokes and prods at its audiences. Moore's stellar performance makes the film, and her comeback story in Hollywood had audiences rooting for her throughout awards season. 'The Substance' is undeniably the weirdest and most violent of the aforementioned films, which at their core are quite digestible. Though the story itself is easy for audiences to understand, the film slowly unravels into a smattering of bodies and fluids, creating some of the most disturbing images in film this decade. Sebastian Stan won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his role in 'A Different Man,' a film that would work as a great double feature with 'The Substance.' 'A Different Man' focuses on an aspiring actor who undergoes a medical procedure to drastically change his appearance. At the heart of both of these films is a story that audiences — and awards voters — can relate to: the feeling of being alienated in one's body. While these films may be anything but traditional, beneath the gore and frantically kinetic performances are two characters who feel more human than other films that did well with awards voters this year. 'Nosferatu' is quite different from these other films, but the horror has an undeniably talented crafts team behind it. It secured its nomination in four separate categories at the Academy Awards: Best Production Design, Best Cinematography, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Best Costume Design. Yes, genre films tend to do better in these categories, but that's three more nominations than Eggers' last horror-thriller 'The Lighthouse' managed to nab in 2020. 'Nosferatu' also managed to knock out front-runners 'Nickel Boys' and 'Conclave' for a Best Cinematography nomination. It's shocking to see, but also well deserved, as the film's use of lighting and compositions of vast landscapes triumph over many of its other aspects. Judging from this year's Oscar nominations, the academy's voting body seemed to be embracing cinema that is weirder and more grotesque — finally catching up to what audiences have long embraced. With acknowledgment of these three films, awards season shaped up to be one of the more interesting in recent years for horror fans — not just because of these nominations, but also for what they could mean for the future. While Moore didn't go home with the Oscar, her nomination and those nods for 'The Substance,' 'Nosferatu' and 'A Different Man' feel like some form of retribution for the years that horror films went overlooked at these ceremonies. And frankly, it's about time that tide changes.
