Award shows are full of pomp and circumstance, especially when it comes to walking the Red Carpet and doing interviews. From making small talk and sharing excitement about the nominated films to the typical "Who are you wearing?" question, the interviews are usually pretty entertaining. However, one exchange at the 95th annual Academy Awards on Sunday (March 12) was so painfully awkward that it trended on Twitter.

Model Ashley Graham had a run-in with actor Hugh Grant on the 2023 Oscars Red Carpet and people online couldn't believe how weird it was. As Graham began asking a normal series of questions, Grant made it clear that he would rather be anywhere but there talking to her, leading many viewers to either praise his apathy toward the ceremony or call him rude for snubbing an interviewer just trying to do her job.

When Graham asked who Grant was excited to see win or who he was rooting for, he responded with a clipped "no one in particular." Undeterred, Graham then asked who he was wearing, to which Grant simply said, "just my suit." Graham tried to weasel out a few more details, asking who designed the suit, only getting back the response, "My tailor."

Graham attempted to speak more about Grant's appearance in the hit film Glass Onion, asking how much fun it was to shoot a movie like that. Grant, who briefly appeared on screen, said he was "barely in it," so couldn't speak on the rest of the cast's experience. Some eagle-eyed viewers noticed that he seemed to roll his eyes as the interview ended.

Check out a video of the interview below and see the train wreck happen for yourself.

It's safe to say that the tense moment was not the normal red carpet interview, with folks flocking to Twitter to share their unfiltered thoughts. Keep reading to see some of the funniest reactions to the awkward exchange.
