The creator of Chicken Shop Date, Amelia Dimoldenberg

Amelia Dimoldenberg only needs 60 seconds with Timothée Chalamet.

In her decade, in which the popular YouTube show “Chicken Shop Date” was held, she has not yet flirted with chalamet via Nuggets under bright fluorescent lights. However, she could get her chance on Sunday: Dimoldenberg will be an official correspondent and social media ambassador for the show on the Red Oscars. Chalamet is nominated for the best actor to be a Bob Dylan in “A Complete unknown”. It could happen.

But Dimoldenberg, 31, knows as well as everyone who cannot really control what happens or with whom you can speak with a red carpet – especially one thing as much as the Oscars. This will be your second year in the position. Last year she scored with Billie Eilish, flirted with Taylor Zakhar Perez, spoke about falling with Jennifer Lawrence and played rock, paper, scissors with Dwayne Johnson.

“I love the challenge – have 90 seconds with someone and you have to get something incredible,” she said. “There is a conveyor belt of celebrities. So if you love celebrity interviews, it's the best place.”

This year she has a long list of hopes, including candidates such as Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande (whom she never met), Adrien Brody, Kieran Culkin, Jesse Eisenberg and Mikey Madison. Sometimes the celebrity is familiar with its work and its character; Sometimes they are not. This figure, an exaggerated version of herself, is a celebrity interviewer who actually has a date with her topics: she is desperately desperate and excessively confident and flirts in what she has described as a very British way of thinking the other person.

In the show, she makes the interactions in processing even more uncomfortable and funny. There are no such crutches on a red carpet. The key, she said, is to develop the river and to feel comfortable, no matter what happens.

“I don't prefer one or the other,” said Dimoldenberg. “Sometimes, the people I met for the first time, I was able to have an incredible relationship and they are somehow pleasantly surprised by my style in a way that is fun and is refreshing.”

Her style is a bit in tone for the estimated, buttoned show, but an indication of the changing tides of the traditional media landscape and the desire for everyone to achieve a wider audience.

“Your carefree, humorous approach leads to reliable, authentic moments,” said Jennifer Davidson, marketing and communication manager of the academy. “The content of the last year during the entire Oscars season was so well received that it was only useful to reclaim it for a second year.”

Dimoldenberg is not only the moderator of “Chicken Shop Date” and occasional correspondent on the red carpet, but a mogul in the formation. The show was her idea and she produces her under the banner of her production company Dimz Inc. Your YouTube channel has more than 2.8 million subscribers and her videos have over 668 million views. But it has not been too long ago that a YouTube show would have been the last thing a studio would have selected for the press tour of a film – especially a film with Oscars Dreams. Now shows such as their and the “hot online”, which are similar to the poultry base, are becoming regular stops.

Her big breakthrough with film stars came when Daniel Kaluuya took part in a “date” in 2020. Until then, it was mainly musician, but now she had an Oscar-nominated actor. Two years later, an interview with the red carpet with Andrew Garfield Viral and her profile got up. They recently reunited themselves when he applied for “We live in time”, which was received as well as an event like the film itself.

“I always thought it would be a hit to be honest,” said Dimoldenberg. “I found it just a great idea and I always wanted to interview the biggest stars in the world. It only took 10 years to get there. “

Dimoldenberg has big plans for the future with several projects in development with your company. Her main concern is to ensure that everything she brings in her name remains authentic for her. It was recently the subject of a lengthy profile in the New Yorker – to which she liked to be part but did not read. Better, she said for her mental health.

And at the moment she focuses on preparing for Sunday and whatever the gods of the red carpet have in stock. The best way to catch their segments during the red carpet, which opened Eastern around 3:30 p.m., is to follow the social channels of the academy and the Oscars on Tiktok, Instagram or YouTube.

“I am only very excited to be back for the Oscars,” she said. “It is astonishing to reclaim a second year. It is an astonishing opportunity to get bigger and better than last year. Somehow they stay true to me what people love about me and my videos. So that's a real joy. “
