(CNN) -- Oh, to be a fly on the wall when this photo of Angelina Jolie was taken.


On Wednesday at the Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment breakfast, Jolie was photographed running into Amy Pascal, the Sony Pictures co-chairwoman whose emails were published by Gawker this week after a massive hack of Sony's private data.

Those emails have gone viral thanks to their insider information and very blunt chatter about actors like Jolie, who was called "minimally talented" and a "spoiled brat" with a "rampaging ... ego" by producer Scott Rudin.


Suffice it to say the fallout has not been pretty. Both Pascal and Rudin have apologized for some of the content of their messages, which also included controversial jokes about President Obama.


The emails have been burning up the Web all week, and one would imagine that by the time Pascal ran into Jolie at Wednesday's Hollywood Reporter event, the actress-director herself would have heard about them.

It's hard to tell from the picture of Pascal and Jolie whether that's true, but that hasn't stopped the Internet from speculating. In the image, Pascal is seen approaching Jolie as though she's going in for a hug, wearing a facial expression that could be read as apologetic.


Jolie, meanwhile, meets Pascal's gaze with a deadly serious expression.


It isn't clear what kind of exchange the two women had on Wednesday -- perhaps after the picture was snapped, they embraced with smiles.


But one thing's for sure: This is one photo worth a thousand words.
