"And the most painfully awkward award goes to...."

The 95th Academy Awards kicked off with a not so chirpy note on the red carpet, and it's partly due to Hugh Grant. The British actor got off to a rather rocky exchange with presenter/model Ashley Graham, where the former's icy demeanor was spotted by eagle-eyed fans.

During the interview, a reluctant Grant was seen giving short responses to Graham's questions- all while looking as if he didn't want to be at the glitzy event at all. And despite the model's professional attempt in engaging, Grant apparently 'eye-rolled' as the interview came to an end.
