Chelsea Handler and Ralph Fiennes sparked romance rumors with a cozy display after the 2025 Oscars on Sunday.

The comedian, 50, who previously shared a playful moment with the acting icon, 62, at the Critics Choice Awards last month, was seen linking arms with Fiennes as they left the star-studded Vanity Fair post-Oscars party.

Despite losing out on an Oscar for the third time after being nominated for his role in Conclave, Fiennes appeared in high spirits, engaging in lively conversation with the glamorous Handler. The British actor looked dapper in a classic black suit and bow tie, while Handler stunned in a grey silk strapless ballgown, accessorized with a drink in hand.

This sighting follows their attention-grabbing moment at the Critics Choice Awards, where they humorously parodied the erotic thriller Babygirl. The film, starring Nicole Kidman as a CEO entangled in an affair with her young intern (played by Harris Dickinson), features a now-iconic scene where the CEO is served a glass of milk by her lover before he whispers, “Good girl.”

Handler recreated this moment during the awards ceremony, pretending to receive a glass of milk from a new, “sexy intern.” As she sipped, Fiennes—seated beside her—gazed up at her before whispering, “Good girl. Good girl. Keep going, don’t stop! Go on! Go on!” in a sultry tone. Handler, visibly flustered, quickly transitioned to announcing the next award.

The moment immediately went viral, with fans taking to social media to express their amusement and admiration. “Got my cup of milk ready for Ralph Fiennes to call me ‘good girl,’” one fan wrote. Another added, “Somebody get me a glass of milk and a meeting with Ralph Fiennes, rn!”

Their flirtatious exchange at the Critics Choice Awards, combined with their close interaction at the Oscars after-party, has fueled speculation about a potential romance. Although neither Handler nor Fiennes has addressed the rumors, their undeniable chemistry has certainly captivated fans.

Meanwhile, the 2025 Oscars delivered its fair share of surprises and upsets. Mikey Madison claimed the Best Actress award for her performance in Anora, leaving Demi Moore, who was considered a frontrunner for The Substance, visibly disappointed.

Adrien Brody secured his second Best Actor win for The Brutalist, triumphing over competitors including Timothée Chalamet and Ralph Fiennes. Zoe Saldana took home Best Supporting Actress for her role in Emilia Pérez, while Kieran Culkin kicked off the night with a Best Supporting Actor win for A Real Pain.

Anora emerged as the biggest winner of the evening, claiming Best Picture and securing three additional awards, including Best Director for Sean Baker and Best Original Screenplay.

The night also marked historic achievements, including Paul Tazewell becoming the first Black male winner of Achievement in Costume Design for his work on Wicked.

While the Oscars were filled with notable wins and unexpected losses, it was Chelsea Handler and Ralph Fiennes’ affectionate display that stole the spotlight, leaving fans eager to see if this playful camaraderie will turn into a full-fledged romance.

The scene in question sees Nicole’s CEO character served a glass of milk that was ordered for her by her much-younger lover. He later whispers to her, ‘good girl.’

‘Babygirl was one of my favorite movies this year because I love everything Nicole Kidman does. And it even inspired me to hire a new, sexy intern! Oh, this must be from him!’ Chelsea said as she stood amongst the star-studded audience before being presented with a glass of milk.

Fiennes, who was seated right next to Handler during the bit, gazed up at the actress as she drank the milk before she noticed he was watching her.

‘Good girl,’ Ralph said after she paused. ‘Good girl. Good girl. Keep going, don’t stop! Go on! Go on!’

In a flustered tone, Chelsea then transitioned to the next award. ‘Anyway, here to present the award for best animated feature,’ she said before handing off to Craig Robinson.

Fans showed their appreciation for the bit on X, with one writing: ‘got my cup of milk ready for ralph fiennes to call me good girl.’

‘somebody get me a glass of milk and a meeting with ralph fiennes rn,’ one wrote.

‘Oh to be called a “Good girl” by Ralph Fiennes,’ another posted.

One referenced Ralph’s film Conclave as they asked he call them ‘good girl.’

‘can ralph fiennes put on his cardinal lawrence costume and call me “good girl”‘, another posted.

One said they were ‘not okay’ after watching the bit.

‘ralph fiennes saying “good girl” I’m not okay,’ they posted.

Another praised Handler’s bravery for being able to continue the bit despite Fiennes’ titillating remarks.

‘She’s so strong because if Ralph fiennes called me a good girl on live tv I would’ve fainted on the spot,’ another said.

Demi Moore was left crushed as Mikey Madison beat her to the coveted Best Actress award at the 2025 Oscars, on a night when Anora dominated with five wins including Best Picture.

Demi, 62, had been a clear front-runner and her fury was palpable as 25-year-old rising star Mikey’s name was called out in front of a stunned audience at the 97th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Other big winners on Sunday night included Zoe Saldana, who took home the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the controversial Emilia Perez, and Adrien Brody, who triumphed over Timothée Chalamet for the Best Actor award with his performance in the The Brutalist. Kieran Culkin kicked off the evening with a Best Supporting Actor win for A Real Pain.

Demi could be seen with a clenched jaw as her name wasn’t called, but she did say ‘nice’ to herself as she applauded Mikey’s big win.

It was a particularly surprising upset because Demi had won the actress award at most of the major pre-Oscar events for her role in The Substance.

Mikey portrays an escort in Anora, an independent film with a $6 million budget for which Sean Baker won Best Director. She recognized the sex worker community in a touching acceptance speech.

She said: ‘I also just want to, again, recognize and honor the sex worker community. I will. Yes. I will continue to support and be an ally.

‘All of the incredible people, the women that I’ve had the privilege of meeting from that community has been one of the highlights of this incredible experience.’

At the end of the night the film earned top prize Best Picture Award over The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys, The Substance, and Wicked.

Anora’s writer and director Sean Baker also earned three awards including: Best Original Screenplay, Achievement in Film Editing, and the coveted Best Director.

 The film is centered around a young escort named Ani (played by Mikey) from Brooklyn meets and impulsively marries the son of a Russian oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairy tale is threatened as his parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.

 Adrien Brody took home his second ever Best Actor award earlier in the night.

The 51-year-old actor  stopped the exit music from playing as he was recognized for his work in The Brutalist.

He beat out an impressive field including: Timothée Chalamet — A Complete Unknown, Colman Domingo — Sing Sing, Ralph Fiennes — Conclave, and Sebastian Stan — The Apprentice.

 Meanwhile Demi could be seen with a clenched jaw as her name wasn’t called but did say ‘nice’ to herself as she applauded Mikey’s big win

 It was definitely considered an upset as Demi had earned the same prize at most of the awards season events for her work on The Substance as the field was completed by Cynthia Erivo — Wicked, Karla Sofía Gascón — Emilia Pérez, and Fernanda Torres — I’m Still Here

Adrian previously won Best Actor for his work on classic film The Piano back in 2003.

 Zoe Saldaña shook the controversy surrounding her film Emilia Pérez as she earned Best Supporting Actress.

The show hit a high note as the 46-year-old American actress was crowned for the Netflix film.

 She triumphed over: Monica Barbaro — A Complete Unknown, Ariana Grande — Wicked, Felicity Jones — The Brutalist, and Isabella Rossellini — Conclave.

Zoe became the first ever Oscar winner of Dominican descent  and made sure to thank her ancestors for paving the way to have a successful acting career in America.

 Emilia Pérez has earned a tide of negative publicity after racist and Islamophobic tweets from her costar Karla Sofía Gascón — some quite recent — were discovered.

Netflix went so far as to stop covering Gascón’s travel for awards shows, but she did appear at the Oscars.
