When you’re two actors with undeniable chemistry, sometimes the awards show becomes your stage. That’s exactly what happened when Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman brought the heat to the Las Culturistas Culture Awards on June 18, 2026, during a comedy segment hosted by Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers.
The pair—who star together in Netflix’s breakout thriller The Hunting Wives—didn’t just reference their on-screen connection. They leaned fully into it, locking lips in a raunchy moment that sent the crowd into overdrive. This wasn’t a quick peck for the cameras either. According to reports, it was an over-the-top smooch that had fans screaming, complete with theatrical flair that proved both actresses knew exactly what they were doing up there.
For those who’ve watched The Hunting Wives, the chemistry between Snow’s Sophie O’Neill and Akerman’s seductive socialite Margo Banks is the engine that drives the show’s tension and intrigue. That dynamic clearly hasn’t cooled off. The performance was less about getting a reaction and more about fully committing to the bit—which, in the best way possible, showed just how comfortable and playful these two are with each other both on and off camera.
The timing’s perfect, too. Season 2 of The Hunting Wives is in the works, and this moment served as the hottest teaser imaginable for fans hungry for more of what made the first season such a hit. Sometimes the best marketing isn’t a trailer or a press junket—it’s two actors on stage, confident enough to go all in for a laugh. Awards shows exist for moments like this, and Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman absolutely understood the assignment.
