John Travolta greeted actress Scarlet Johansson very candidly with a kiss when he arrived for the 87th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California. Johansson, who was presenter at the Oscar ceremony, however looked uncomfortable at Travolta's kiss and greet gesture. The short-haired actress also gave Travolta a “side-eye,” which showed her apparent annoyance.

However, the “She” actress kept her cool as Travolta put his arms around her belly and kissed her on the cheek from one side. The “awkward” moment was captured by the camera and the picture is also trending on Twitter. Check it out here. Many websites have called the kiss act by “Greece” actor as “creepy,” “awkward” and even “pervert.”

“John Travolta kissed Scarlett Johansson and it was all kinds of awkward,” writes Crystal Bell from MTV news while New York Post has called Travolta's kiss as “creepy.” It is not the first time Travolta has made news at the Academy Awards ceremony. In 2014, the 61-year-old actor was in news for wrongly pronouncing the name of “Frozen” singer Idina Menzal. While announcing Idina's award, Travolta addressed her as “Adele Dazeem.”

However, Johansson and Travolta were not the only actors who were in news for their intimacy at the 2015 Oscar red carpet. When actress Jennifer Aniston met fellow actress Emma Stone at the Academy Awards, she lifted her off her feet a bit. Stone - the Supporting Actress nominee, reciprocated Aniston's gesture with a broad smile on her face. Check out their picture here.

Meanwhile, Johansson looked great in her green Atelier Versace gown that showed off her slim post-baby figure. The actress gave birth to Rose Dorothy Dauriac in September, 2014. The gorgeous actress had an absolutely flat stomach in less than five months of giving birth to her baby girl.

In her previous interview with W magazine, the 30-year-old actress said that she was surprised at the birth of her girl. “I had a very strong picture in my mind of what my baby would look like, and, of course, she is completely different,” the actress is quoted as saying to W. But she also added that her girl looks “perfect.”
