Here’s a cute interaction between Sam and Pip on stage at the AACTAs — they really seem to be vibing here 🎬✨

Thank you, Anon. I looked at this with fresh eyes and texted with @jamloustatfan and here’s what we came up with:
Pip and Sam are seated side-by-side in the audience; based on previous videos and pictures we already assumed they attended the event together.
There’s this tiny awkward moment around 2:22, when Sam tries to be a gentleman and let Pip move forward, but Pip, almost at the same time, tries to be deferential to Anna as the lead to gesture for her to go. Anna is hesitant, and then Michael is like forget this and steps ahead of everybody and keeps going LOL We agreed that Sam and Pip are both being gracious here. The whole thing it just landed oddly, no one’s fault.
On stage, it’s harder to see what is going on because the camera is too far away and cuts away too quickly to really allow us to really take in an interaction. 😔 She does think it is telling that when folks lined up onstage that they made room for Pip and Sam to stand next to one another with Anna on his other side. It feels like a subconscious pecking order and that their costars recognize a relationship.
There are 2 or 3 quick moments when we get to see Pip show some cute expressions of excitement/happiness and one where looks at Sam (3:02-3:03) and they smile at each other. The look is very similar to the look each previously gave to the person on the other side of them. Pip’s body language is a fraction more “personal.”
The opportunity is so disappointingly short, we don’t get to see much. 😩😩 But for the moment we did see, we agreed that it’s giving “look at what we did together (collectively)” cuteness.
Before re-reviewing this video, we both already felt it wouldn’t be hard to persuade us that at the time this video was posted (Feb 10, 2024) they might be involved in a romantic or lavender pairing (I know a lot of us still don’t agree on what that looked like at its height—even JamLoustatFan and I have differing opinions).
SIDE NOTE: This is clearly a Chat GPT submission, but if you are going to make a claim, here’s how to do it so the rest of us don’t clown you! lol
