The legendary actress, 87, walked arm in arm on Sunday's red carpet with her grandson Sam Williams. While Williams kept it simple with a classic black suit, Dench wore a full-length Dolce and Gabbana white ensemble with beaded trim and a matching clutch. The pair are no strangers to sharing memorable moments. While on Late Night with Seth Meyers in January, Dench reacted to hilarious TikToks she and Williams made together during the pandemic lockdowns. Watching the videos for the first time, Dench recalled Williams insisting on "more rehearsal" before posting their final videos, which fans soon adored on social media. "He was a tyrant," she said of his coaching her for perfection with a laugh. 2022 Oscar Nominations: Will Smith, Kristen Stewart Score Nods, The Power of the Dog Leads with 12 Kevin Mazur/WireImage Host Seth Meyers, 48, also showed Dench some of Williams' TikTok video reviews of her movies, which she was unaware of. In one, he said the 2012 Bond movie Skyfall is "hands down" one of the Oscar winner's best films. "I'll take that up with him later," she joked about one of his other 1 out of 10 reviews.

Jude Hill, who plays her character's grandson in Belfast, spilled the tea about the pranks she played on set of the Kenneth Branagh-directed film. "Well, there was a lot of Whoopee Cushions. That's what I'm gonna say. There was a lot of Whoopee Cushions during scenes," the 11-year-old star told E! Live from the Red Carpet host Laverne Cox at the Oscars Sunday. "By the end of [filming], if someone sat down on a Whoopee Cushion, we all just turned heads to Judi Dench."

"One of the inside jokes on Belfast is everyone called Judi 'Jude,' so it was a bit confusing, and Judi Dench was like 'All right, I've had enough of this. So you're the old Jude. I'm the younger Jude,'" he recalled. "So I'm old Jude," the young actor quipped.
