Amelia Dimoldenberg is ready to make her mark on the Oscars red carpet once again. This Sunday, she will serve as an official correspondent and social media ambassador for her popular YouTube series, “Chicken Shop Date.” Known for her down-to-earth style and witty interviews, Dimoldenberg will aim to engage stars like Timothée Chalamet, who is nominated for Best Actor for his role as Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown.”
Having hosted “Chicken Shop Date” for a decade, Dimoldenberg is no stranger to the fast-paced environment of celebrity interviews. Last year, she made a splash talking to names like Billie Eilish and Dwayne Johnson, proving that her quirky yet relatable approach resonates well with audiences.
“It’s all about the thrill of having only a brief moment with a celebrity and making it memorable,” Dimoldenberg said. With so many stars walking the red carpet, she sees it as an exciting challenge. “There’s a constant flow of celebrities, so if you love celebrity interviews, the Oscars is the ultimate venue.”
This year, she has her sights set on engaging with nominees such as Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jesse Eisenberg. Her interview style is playful and somewhat awkward, which invites laughter and unexpected moments. Often, celebrities are pleasantly surprised by her unique approach.
While her style may stand out among the more traditional red carpet reporters, it reflects a shift in how the media engages with the public. As culture changes, so do the platforms we use to connect with audiences. Jennifer Davidson, head of marketing for the Academy, noted that last year’s fresh content was a hit, leading to Dimoldenberg’s return this year.
Beyond being an online personality, Dimoldenberg is a savvy entrepreneur. She created “Chicken Shop Date” and runs her own production company. Her YouTube channel boasts millions of subscribers and views, indicating her growing influence in Hollywood.
Her breakthrough moment came when actor Daniel Kaluuya participated in her series in 2020. This opened doors to other stars and increased her visibility, culminating in viral moments with stars like Andrew Garfield.
Dimoldenberg continues to diversify her career and has multiple projects in the pipeline. She emphasizes the importance of remaining authentic in all her endeavors. As she prepares for the Oscars, she aims to capture genuine moments that highlight the charm of her interview style.
“I’m thrilled to be back for the Oscars,” she expressed. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to improve upon what we’ve done before. I appreciate the chance to stay true to what people love about me.”
