When they were both really young, they made a movie together (The Bronte Sisters).
Adjani was the bigger star back then (already an Oscar nominee at age 19), and she made life impossible for Huppert on set. One day Adjani pulled Huppert's hair and made her cry.
Years later, Huppert banned Adjani from appearing at certain festivals.
The two rarely mention each other, though Adjani recently complained that Huppert hogs all the roles.
The Césars love to pit Adjani and Huppert against each other whenever they can. Adjani beat her 3 times. Huppert never won against Adjani.
It would be the ultimate revenge for Huppert to win the Oscar, which is something Adjani could never do, and is very unlikely to do.
