While she's not nominated for any awards this year, Scarlett Johansson is presenting at the 2017 Oscars, so, of course, she's strutting down the red carpet with the rest of the A-Listers. And her red carpet appearance is leading to a certain question, like who is Scarlett Johansson's Oscars date? She was spotted walking down the carpet with a man who actually looked sort of like her ex Ryan Reynolds, but who is he really? Update: It appears that Johansson's date is her agent, Joe Machoda. A brilliant Twitter user pointed out that she attended with the same date in 2011. This means that he must be Machoda. In another update, now that I've seen more pics, he is definitively less Reynolds-y.

During her red carpet interview with E!'s Ryan Seacrest, Johansson's date stood by her side, but there was no comment on who he is — a friend? an assistant? a relative? The only thing that was said directly to him was when it was caught on the mic that Seacrest told him it was good to see him and asked if he's been working out, while Johansson had moved on to greet Halle Berry. Who are you, mystery man? Have you been working out?

It was recently reported that Johansson and her husband, Romain Dauriac, split up, so it would make sense why the actor would show up with someone else. And, hey, perhaps at some point we'll find out who he is (and will update this post accordingly!).

Have fun at the Oscars, Man Who Maybe Knows Ryan Seacrest.
