Presenting the award for Production Design, Dakota and Jamie took to the stage – and the former made a cheeky joke about how intimate they have had to be with one-another on-set.
“You look familiar…” she said dryly.
Pulling quite the facial expression, Jamie laughed back and said: “I’m sure I do!”
“Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan have finally reached peak awkward #Oscars,” one person said.
Someone else quipped: “oh good more awkward Jamie Dornan/Dakota banter #Oscars.”
Referencing the infamous Best Picture mix-up later on, a third viewer joked: “Just when I thought Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan being forced to be near each other was going to be the most awkward moment of the night.”
Another person wrote: “And the Oscar for most awkward opening/intro goes to Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson.”
