Pictures from Sunday night’s Golden Globes appear to show Angelina Jolie looking uncomfortable while Jennifer Aniston presented an award onstage.

A shot taken from behind Aniston and Carol Burnett shows Jolie, who famously dated Brad Pitt immediately after the Friends star, studiously avoiding the stage and looking down at the table instead.

Only adding to the awkwardness, the same shot also shows Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson sneaking a peek at Oscar-winner Jolie seemingly ignoring Aniston during the ceremony.

The rest of the ceremony didn’t allow for any awkward encounters as the actresses were seated on opposite sides of the ballroom.

Aniston is thought to have skipped the red carpet in a bid to avoid running into Jolie – but the pair risked a face-to-face as they both attended the same Netflix afterparty.

The pair haven’t been in the same room since the Critics’ Choice Awards in 2015 – ten years after Pitt reportedly ended things with Aniston to start dating Jolie.

Some viewers took to Twitter to speculate about the awkward moment between the two actresses at the Golden Gloves.

One user hammered the point home by tweeting the image along with big pink arrows, identifying who’s who in the picture.

‘You’re lying if you can’t relate to Dakota staring at Angelina’s face for a reaction to Jennifer being on stage,’ they tweeted.

Other Twitter users soon started re-tweeting the post and acknowledging the awkwardness in their own comments.

‘Dakota Johnson got caught watching Angelina Jolie while Jennifer Aniston presented: When you’re trying to be subtle, but you can’t help yourself,’ tweeted another.

However, video footage of the incident shows it wasn’t a snub on Jolie’s part – but rather, a screenshot taken at an unfortunate moment.

Both actresses have been married to Brad Pitt – Aniston, 48, from 2000 to 2005 and Jolie, 42, from 2014 until last year.

It’s been claimed that Jolie ‘stole’ Pitt away from Aniston while making the movie Mr & Mrs Smith in 2005, but other reports suggest that Pitt and Aniston were already on the outs when he met Jolie.

In an interview with Vogue in 2007, Jolie maintained she and Pitt remained friends for a long time, and only embarked on romance after his divorce from Aniston.
