The 98th Academy Awards proved to be an emotional evening for actor Timothee Chalamet, who ultimately lost the award to Michael B. Jordan for Sinners. But the night didn't just end there. A brief interaction between his sister and girlfriend quickly went viral online, prompting viewers to dissect every gesture.
Videos circulating across social media show an awkward moment between Kylie Jenner and Timothée’s sister, Pauline Chalamet, during the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre. The short exchange has since become a talking point among fans, with many speculating about the body language between the trio.
In the clip, Pauline, 34, could be seen approaching her younger brother inside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles ahead of the ceremony. Timothee stood up to greet her before the pair smiled at one another. Pauline then pointed over to the crowd in the distance before Kylie, 28, attempted to get her attention with a series of exaggerated gestures that included reaching out for a hug.
Body language expert Judi James weighed in on the interaction, stating that the greetings between Timothee and his sister and Kylie looked full of perfunctory signals and expressions of deep surprise and even shock.
