Amelia Dimoldenberg only needs 60 seconds with Timothée Chalamet.

In her decade of hosting the popular YouTube show “Chicken Shop Date,” she hasn’t yet casually, awkwardly flirted with Chalamet over nuggets under bright fluorescent lights. Sunday, though, she might get her chance: Dimoldenberg will be on the Oscars red carpet as an official correspondent and social media ambassador for the show. Chalamet is nominated for best actor, for his turn as Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown.” It could happen.

But Dimoldenberg, 31, knows as well as anyone that you can’t really control what happens — or whom you get to talk to — on a red carpet. This will be her second year in the position. Last year, she riffed with Billie Eilish, flirted with Taylor Zakhar Perez, talked about falling with Jennifer Lawrence and played rock, paper, scissors with Dwayne Johnson.

“I love the challenge of it — having 90 seconds with someone, and you have to get something incredible,” she said. “There’s a conveyor belt of celebrities, so if you love celebrity interviews, it’s kind of the best place to be.”

She has a long list of hopefuls this year, including nominees Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande (whom she has never met), Adrien Brody, Kieran Culkin, Jesse Eisenberg and Mikey Madison. Sometimes, the celebrity is familiar with her work and her character; sometimes they’re not.

That character, an exaggerated version of herself, is a celebrity interviewer who is actually on a date with her subjects: She’s at turns desperate and overly confident, flirting in what she has described as a very British way of making the other person think you don’t like them.

In the show, she makes the interactions even more awkward, and funnier, in the edit. On a red carpet, there are no such crutches. The key, she said, is going with the flow and making her interviewees feel comfortable.

“I don’t prefer one way or the other,” Dimoldenberg said. “Sometimes people I’ve met for the very first time I could have an incredible rapport with, and they kind of are pleasantly surprised by my style in a way that’s fun and refreshing.”

Her style is a bit of a departure in tone for the esteemed, buttoned-up awards show but indicative of the changing tides of the traditional media landscape and everyone’s desire to reach broader audiences.

Dimoldenberg’s big breakthrough with movie stars came when Daniel Kaluuya participated in a “date” in 2020 as until then it had been mainly musicians. Two years later, a red-carpet interview with Andrew Garfield went viral and her profile skyrocketed.

“I always thought it was going to be a hit, if I’m honest,” Dimoldenberg said. “I just thought it was a great idea, and I always wanted to be interviewing the biggest stars in the world. It just took 10 years to get there.”
