Ryan turns his back on the actress even though she’d asked him a question

Catherine Zeta Jones got dissed on the red carpet at the Oscars 2013 by E! correspondent Ryan Seacrest or, at least, that’s what everybody’s saying right now. Check out the video below to see what happened.

The actress, who was also part of the all-star musical tribute during the Oscarcast, was accompanied by her husband Michael Douglas during the brief interview.

Towards the end, she directly asked Ryan, “Do you want me to do this?,” wiggling her fingers. She’s talking about the now popular E! mani-cam, which has celebrities show off their fancy manicures on a miniature red carpet.

Despite the fact that she asked the question pretty loudly (or so it seems to me, at least), Ryan turned his back on her and left her hanging, making many wonder out loud, on Twitter mostly, whether he wasn’t deliberately ignoring her.

Check out the video and let me know what you think: could Ryan and Catherine have some kind of beef going on, or was this simply an honest mistake on Ryan’s part?
