At this year’s Oscars, Dimoldenberg brought her signature style to the red carpet once again, hoping to land that long-awaited chat with Timothée Chalamet, who was nominated for Best Actor for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. While Chalamet’s busy schedule kept them apart, Dimoldenberg still managed to secure viral-worthy interactions with stars like Ariana Grande, Jesse Eisenberg, and Kieran Culkin.
One of the most talked-about moments was her interview with Adrien Brody, who won Best Actor for The Brutalist. When asked how he planned to celebrate, Brody jokingly invited her for a chicken shop date, to which Dimoldenberg responded with her signature awkward charm, “I don’t know, Adrien. You might be too successful for me now.”
