And the Academy Award for the most awkward photo ever goes to ... Angelina Jolie and Amy Pascal.

Just two days after an acerbic email conversation between Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Pascal and Hollywood producer Scott Rudin was leaked - describing Jolie as a 'minimally talented spoiled brat', among other things - the two ran into each other at a Hollywood event.

Incredibly, the moment was captured in a single photograph that has already been added to the annals of pop culture cringe.

As Pascal - who came face-to-face with Jolie on Wednesday at The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Power 100 Breakfast - appears to grovel, the Maleficent actress looks frigid and, many would say, furious.

The release of the image coincides with reports that Pascal's future with Sony is in doubt on the back of the email leak, particularly a separate conversation that showed racially insensitive comments about President Barack Obama, The Los Angeles Times are reporting.

The email train between Pascal and Rudin was leaked as part of an embarassing cyberhack that has besieged Sony for the last two weeks. The corporation are understood to have known about the leak since February but chose to keep it quiet, according to Gawker.

The two were discussing Jolie, who was apparently upset that director David Fincher had been offered to work on the the film Jobs, about the life of Apple founder Steve Jobs, when Jolie wanted Fincher to direct her in Cleopatra.

'YOU BETTER SHUT ANGIE DOWN BEFORE SHE MAKES IT VERY HARD FOR DAVID TO DO JOBS,' Rudin wrote in an email dated February 2014.

Pascal then hit back: 'Do not f--king threaten me. I have been asking you to engage with me on this for weeks.'

To which Rudin responded: 'What the hell are you talking about? Who's threatening you? Let me remind you I brought this material to you and I can off her from it in a phone call. Don't for one second even think about trying this s--t with me.'

'There is no movie of Cleopatra to be made (and how that is a bad thing given the insanity and rampaging spoiled ego of this woman and the cost of the movie is beyond me) and if you won't tell her that you do not like the script - which, let me remind you, SHE DOESN'T EITHER - this will just spin even further out into Crazyland but let me tell you I have zero appetite for the indulgence of spoiled brats and I will tell her this myself if you don't.'

In the end, Fincher passed on both projects.

Pascal issued an apology saying: 'The content of my emails were insensitive and inappropriate but are not an accurate reflection of who I am.'

She then added, 'although this was a private communication that was stolen, I accept full responsibility for what I wrote and apologize to everyone who was offended.'  

Rudin also apologized for the comments yesterday.

'Private emails between friends and colleagues written in haste and without much thought or sensitivity, even when the content of them is meant to be in jest, can result in offense where none was intended,' said Rudin.

'I made a series of remarks that were meant only to be funny, but in the cold light of day, they are in fact thoughtless and insensitive - and not funny at all. To anybody I've offended, I'm profoundly and deeply sorry, and I regret and apologize for any injury they might have caused.'  

My bad: Scott Rudin (above) has apologized for comments he made in leaked emails about President Barack Obama and Angelina Jolie

The statement, released to Deadline, came shortly after the most damning batch of emails were released, in which Rudin and Sony Pictures Chair Amy Pascal exchanged racially insensitive comments about President Barack Obama.

On the eve of a fundraising breakfast being attended by the President at the home of DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, Pascal and Rudin went over things she could discuss with Obama while at the event in October 2013.

'Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?' Pascal asks Rudin, a reference to the 2012 Quentin Tarantino film Django Unchained that dealt with the subject of slavery in the antebellum South.

'12 years,' responds Rudin, referencing another slavery film, this time Steve McQueen's 2013 Academy Award-winning work 12 Years a Slave, a very violent and brutal look at the injustice and abuse endured by the millions forced into slavery in America. 

'HE JUST MAKES YOU FEEL BAD TO HAVE NORMAL-SIZED GENITALIA': AARON SORKIN'S PRIVATE EMAILS ABOUT MICHAEL FASSBENDER LEAKED

Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin claimed that he had no idea who Michael Fassbender (pictured) was

Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin claimed that he had no idea who Michael Fassbender was according to the latest tranche of embarrassing emails leaked as part of the Sony cyber-hacking scandal.

The emails reveal, however, that others at Sony were aware of the actor - or at least the size of his manhood - with producer Michael De Luca allegedly claiming in one email that the star, 'makes you feel bad to have normal sized male genitalia.'

The actor gained notoriety after playing Brandon Sullivan in 2011’s sexual exploration movie Shame and appearing in a full-frontal nude scene that revealed an impressive appendage.

The latest leaks concern Sony’s failed attempts to make a movie about the life of Apple co-funder Steve Jobs, which Sorkin was adapting from Walter Isaacson’s biography.

The emails reveal Sorkin’s attempt to lobby for Tom Cruise to take the lead role and reveal his initial disdain when informed that Fassbender, Oscar-nominated for 12 Years A Slave, was favored for the role.

‘I don't know who Michael Fassbender is and the rest of the world isn't going to care,’ was his sniffy reply to Columbia Pictures Chairman Amy Pascal and movie producer Scott Rudin.

It was Rudin who called Angelina Jolie a 'minimally talented spoiled brat' in another email, while the latest leak of documents by the group calling themselves ‘the Guardians of Peace,’ are from Pascal’s email box.

Her exchanges with Rudin and Sorkin reveal that an extensive list of Hollywood big hitters had been considered for the Jobs role.

After Leonardo Di Caprio turned it down, Christian Bale was mentioned, but email exchanges show Sorkin only had eyes for Cruise.

When Pascal sent Sorkin a message to say that director Danny Boyle ‘seems committed to’ Fassbender, he wasn't best pleased.

'This used to be an event. I don't know who Michael Fassbender is and the rest of the world isn't going to care. This is insane,' he wrote.

More emails: An email exchange between Amy Pascal (left) and Rudin (right) showed the two mocking the President's race

The pair then keep going, listing as many current films starring black actors as they could name, including Lee Daniels' The Butler and two Kevin Hart movies, Think Like a Man and Ride Along.

'I bet he likes Kevin Hart,' says Rudin at one point. 

Rudin previously gave a statement to the New York Times about the hack earlier this week.

'This is not about salacious emails being batted around by Gawker and Defamer,' the disgraced producer said on Wednesday.

'It's about a criminal act, and the people behind it should be treated as nothing more nor less than criminals.' 

In other leaked emails, these having to do with the Jobs biopic, screenwriter Aaron Sorkin has some not so kind words for the man now set to star in the film, Michael Fassbender.

'I don't know who Michael Fassbender is and the rest of the world isn't going to care,' Sorkin tells Pascal when informed of the studio's desire to cast the actor, who also starred in 12 Years a Slave. 

Racist response: Rudin suggests that Pascal maybe talk with the President about 12 Years a Slave (above)

Not good: The email exchange also finds Rudin commenting that President Obama 'likes Kevin Hart'

Academy Award-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and actor Michael Fassbender are the latest Hollywood stars to be embarrassed by information leaked after a massive cyber attack at Sony Pictures

Pascal's exchanges with Rudin and Sorkin reveal that an extensive list of Hollywood big hitters had been considered for the Jobs role.

After Leonardo Di Caprio turned it down, Christian Bale was mentioned, but email exchanges show Sorkin only had eyes for Tom Cruise.

When Pascal sent Sorkin a message to say that director Danny Boyle 'seems committed to' Fassbender, he wasn't best pleased.

'This used to be an event. I don't know who Michael Fassbender is and the rest of the world isn't going to care. This is insane,' he wrote.

However Sorkin eventually came round to the idea of Fassbender and wrote, 'F*** it. He's a great actor whose time has come.'

'That's where I ended up,' Pascal replied.

'Yeah, if the movie's good, he'll be on the cover of everything and get nominated for everything,' Sorkin conceded.

One man who is clearly a fan of Fassbender however is producer Michael De Luca, who says of the Irish actor in one email, 'He just makes you feel bad to have normal-sized genitalia.'  

In demand: Jolie and Rudin both wanted to use David Fincher (above) on their film projects

Angelina Jolie speaks out on perhaps moving into politics

The emails formed part of the November 24 cyber attack on Sony Pictures.

As for the fundraising event, which took place last November, President Obama did indeed talk about the film industry, saying: 'Believe it or not, entertainment is part of our American diplomacy. 

'If they're watching an old movie — Guess Who's Coming to Dinner,The Mary Tyler Moore Show, or Will and Grace and Modern Family — they've had a front-row seat to our march towards progress. Even if their own nations haven't made that progress yet.'

According to public records, Pascal donated $5,000 to President Obama's re-election campaign and gave a further $30,800 to the Democtratic National Committee. 

Obama made no mention of the films Django Unchained, 12 Years a Slave, Lee Daniels' The Butler, Think Like a Man or Ride Along in his speech at the event. 

Also on Thursday, Kevin Hart took to his Instagram to respond to an email conversation between Pascal and Clint Culpepper in which he was called a 'greedy whore' for demanding more money to promote on of his films on social media. 

'Knowing your self worth is extremely important people,' wrote Hart.

'I worked very hard to get where I am today. I look at myself as a brand and because of that I will never allow myself to be taking advantage of. I OWN MY BRAND…I MAKE SMART DECISIONS FOR MY BRAND….I PROTECT MY BRAND….which is why I'm able to brush ignorance off of my shoulder and continue to move forward.'

Response: Hart posted his response to the emails on Instagram Thursday

'SHOULD I ASK HIM IF HE LIKED DJANGO?': PASCAL AND RUDIN MOCK PRESIDENT OBAMA

Scott Rudin and Sony Pictures Chair Amy Pascal were further embarrassed by leaked emails showing them mocking Barack Obama in a set of racist email exchanges.

Pascal and Rudin's comments focussed on things she could discuss with Obama at a fundraising breakfast at the home of DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg.

'Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?' Pascal asks Rudin, a reference to the 2012 Quentin Tarantino film Django Unchained that dealt with the subject of slavery in the South.

'12 years,' responds Rudin, referencing another slavery film, this time Steve McQueen's 2013 Academy Award-winning work 12 Years a Slave - a look at the abuse endured by those forced into slavery.

The pair then keep going, listing as many current films starring black actors as they could, including Lee Daniels' The Butler and two Kevin Hart movies.

'I bet he likes Kevin Hart,' Rudin added.

Another email, this one obtained by Business Insider, showed Joel McHale, the star of now-axed series Community, asking Sony Pictures Television president Steve Mosko for a discount on a television set after the show was cut. 

The TV McHale asked for is a 65-inch X950B 4K Ultra HD, which retails for $7,999.99.

The email train shows Mosko asking the TV to be bought for the actor and given to him as part of a 'community deal'. 

Last night James Franco and Seth Rogen were not taking any questions as they attended The Interview premiere in downtown Los Angeles after Sony decreed strict press restrictions and increased security following the massive studio cyberattack.

The studio banned broadcast media from the red carpet and Rogen, 32, and Franco, 36, were not made available to print reporters at the screening held at the Ace Hotel. 

In The Interview, the stars portray a producer and television host tasked by the CIA with assassinating North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. 

Some have speculated that North Korea was behind the Sony attacks in retaliation for The Interview that opens on Christmas Day.

Comedy partners: Seth and co-director Evan Goldberg got together at the premiere

No interviews: James and Seth, shown in a still from their upcoming comedy The Interview, were not made available for interviews at the premiere

The controversy over the film and the release of the emails has led some observers to question Pascal's future at Sony.

'Typically, somebody senior's head rolls when there is a hacking scandal, and the embarrassing email disclosures just help determine who that is going to be in this case,' said Laura Martin, senior media analyst for Needham & Co told the LA Times.

'If she becomes the weak link because people believe she can't actually work in the business, it's just, OK, now we know who it is going to be. None of it is particularly fair, but if somebody's head has to roll, they are looking for the path of least resistance,' she added.

Another reason Pascal's future is in doubt is because serious questions have now been raised over her judgement and the methods she has chosen to defend her actions - namely claiming the words she apparently uttered in private are not representative of her true thoughts. 

Also among the emails was an exchange that revealed New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd promising to show Pascal's former Times journalist husband Bernard Weinraub an article she was writing about his wife prior to its publication.

The final article was so glowing in its praise of Pascal that she later contact Dowd to praise her work. The article also prompted Sony's head of communications to brand the column 'impressive'.
