Hugh Grant showed up at the Oscars, and youd think he'd be prepared to give a few interviews due to being an actor walking a carpet at a major awards show, but ... not so much. Hugh was visibly uninterested and some (most) might say downright rude to Ashley Graham during ABC’s Oscars pre-show and is being called out on Twitter as a result.

As you can see if you managed to make it through that clip, Ashley was trying her best to do her literal job and interview Hugh, who responded with dismissive one-word answers. A brief transcript if you can’t deal with the secondhand awkwardness of that clip:

Here are some more responses:

Here’s to hoping Hugh gives Ashley some flowers and an apology!
