Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie narrowly avoided a potentially-awkward encounter at the Critics Choice Movie Awards last night (16.01.15).
The event, which took place at the Hollywood Palladium, marked the first time Jennifer - who was married to Angelina's current husband Brad Pitt from 2000 until 2005 - and the 'Maleficent' actress had appeared at the same major Hollywood event since the Oscars in 2009, but their paths didn't directly cross on the night.
Jennifer - who wore a Gucci outfit with a layered gold necklace - arrived at the event with her fiance Justin Theroux and made a hurried entrance into the venue.
A source told Us Weekly: "They walked in holding hands [in a rush] so hustled to their seat."
The pair posed for pictures on the red carpet prior to the show, which they entered just 20 seconds before the show went live.
Meanwhile, Angelina - who attended the event without Brad - was seen taking photos with fans and critics, and was seated on the opposite side of the venue from her husband's ex-wife.
During one of the show's commercial breaks, Jennifer, 45, and her 43-year-old fiance made a speedy exit, while Angelina - who wore a floor-length silver gown - remained in her seat.
Likewise, Jennifer and Justin made a hasty exit at the end of the ceremony, making their way past Angelina, who was seen chatting with Eddie Redmayne.
