Timothee Chalamet had a rough night at the Oscars in more ways than one.
Not only was the Marty Supreme star, 30, brutally snubbed for Michael B. Jordan in the Best Actor category, but he was also made a laughing stock by host Conan O’Brien over his recent ‘opera and ballet’ jab drama.
Yet, there was more upset beyond the ceremony too when sister Pauline had an ‘awkward’ run-in with his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner.
In a video, which has since gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), Pauline, 34, could be seen approaching her younger brother inside the Dolby Theater 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, who was sitting right in front of them, attempted to get her attention.
The makeup mogul, 28, made a series of exaggerated gestures towards her would-be future sister-in-law, including reaching out for a hug that left many viewers cringing at the seemingly frosty nature.
‘Looks like she’s never met her before in her life… This is what a PR relationship looks like,’ one scathed. ‘The awkwardness between them!’ another added, as someone else shared: ‘She did not want to hug her.’
Now, the Daily Mail has spoken to body language expert Judi James to reveal the truth about the somewhat jarring exchange.

‘The greetings between Timothee and his sister and Kylie look full of perfunctory signals and expressions of deep surprise and even shock, as though she’s an unexpected arrival at the event,’ she began.
‘Timothee and his sister look polite rather than excited and effusive in terms of using touch and affection signals.
‘He bends in to greet her politely but there’s no close sibling hugging here and despite the fact her man is standing to do the greeting, Kylie seems to be distracted.’
And the exchange did not improve.
After spotting Pauline, Judi detailed how ‘Kylie suddenly rips into a ritual that seems to signal utter shock and deep surprise to see Timothee’s sister there.’
‘Her eyebrows steeple, her eyes widen, and her mouth falls open as she stretches one hand out in the kind of small flapping that would normally pull someone in for a kiss.
‘She gets up to greet her but the greetings are rather quick and awkward-looking with little apparent reaction from Timothee’s sister beyond the polite.’
The exchange comes after Pauline was previously accused of taking several veiled swipes at Kylie.

Last year, the Sex Lives of College Girls actress, 34, took to Instagram to lambast ‘insane wealth disparity’ in the US after reading a New York Times article about cuts to foreign aid.
Kylie has amassed a huge net worth and is estimated to be currently sitting on a $710-million fortune.
In 2019, she was controversially declared the world’s youngest self-made billionaire at age 21 but that value was later downgraded.
Chalamet wrote on her stories: ‘New York Times, liberal bias, yes yes yes I get it. But this one by @nickkristof is worth the read. It’s about empathy and humanity.
‘The United States faces a tremendous number of domestic issues. Our maternal mortality rate is embarrassing, our way of shopping and eating food completely out of season makes no sense, we’re spoiled in our desire to BLAST ACs and heat, our INSANE wealth disparity is sick, the list literally goes ON and ON.
Pauline also made comments about CEOs who own private jets. Kylie is seen here on her very own private jet
Pauline said: ‘We’re spoiled in our desire to BLAST ACs and heat, our INSANE wealth disparity is sick, the list literally goes ON and ON.
‘BUT just take a second and think about the fact that LESS THAN 1% of all of our money goes to humanitarian aid.
‘That money is insignificant in fixing any of the larger problems that play in the United States.
‘And yet so significant to the lives of millions of individuals across this shared home we call Earth.’
Pauline appeared to have previously lashed out at Jenner in posts about billionaires and CEOs who own private jets.
The actress made her feelings clear last year when she reposted a telling message by nonprofit organization Move On, originally tweeted by Democratic politician Melanie D’Arrigo.
Per The Sun, the tweet read: ‘If your job requires a college degree, you should be able to write off your student loan payments as a business expense the way CEOs write off their private jets and yachts for their jobs which require neither.’
