When Scarlett Johansson hit the Oscar red carpet last night some viewer's jaws may have dropped trying to figure out the man she was holding onto! But everyone can relax, it's just her agent Joe Machota. However, was Ryan Reynold's ex possibly using her agent as a shield from seeing Sandra Bullock?

According to new reports, Ryan's ex and his former co-star seemed to avoid each other on the red carpet.
"It seemed like both of their arrivals were carefully staged to make sure they were never on the red carpet together," an insider tells PopEater. "They both knew the other was presenting so it was no surprise that they would be at the same event, but they sure managed to keep away from one another."

Sandra was seen out with Ryan several times after he filed for divorce in December, but the two say they are just friends.
"So much has happened to Sandra in the past 12 months since she won an Oscar that I'm sure she wanted a drama-free night on Sunday," a friend of Sandra's said. "Whether or not Scarlett would be attending had nothing to do with her decision to attend, and what she does in her private life with a man that is getting divorced is entirely up to her."
But it is a very long carpet, so maybe the avoidance was merely coincidental and not planned out!
