Fresh from walking the red carpet with wife Katy Perry and her grandmother Anne, actor Russell Brand walked the Academy Awards carpet with his mum on his arm. Brand responded to the call of one female reporter by sweeping up to her, grabbing her by the face and planting an extra long kiss on her.

Brand, who is a presenter at this year's Oscars, is going into the gig "not concerned about censorship or any of the laws," he told On the Red Carpet earlier during his stroll. We can't wait.
