Seriously, every single thing about this photo makes you want to cringe.

Johansson, whose creepy art house thriller Under The Skin was considered by many to be one of the year’s big snubs, looked stunning in her floor-length hunter green Atelier Versace gown, and didn’t look like she wanted Travolta’s hands leaving weirdly placed fingerprints all over it.

Maybe he tried to say hi and ended up totally demolishing her name, and this is just the weird way he apologizes for things?
