At the 2009 Oscars, Jennifer Aniston and Jack Black presented the awards for Best Animated Feature Film and Best Animated Short Film, and if you thought that Aniston seemed a little nervous and off her game while on stage, there's probably good reason why.

The occasional cuts to the crowd showed that Aniston was in the direct sight-line of her ex-husband Brad Pitt, along with the woman he left her for in 2005, Angelina Jolie.

And so, one couldn't really blame Aniston for being a little thrown off, with body language experts even pointing out that she seemed desperate to get off the stage.

Doing live TV is tough enough, but doing it in front of your ex and the star he left you for? That's a whole other level.

Thankfully Aniston and Pitt seem to be on far better terms today, per their cute reunion at the 2020 Golden Globes.
