Timothée Chalamet loses Best Actor at the Oscars. Social media celebrates.
Timothée Chalamet is now a four-time Best Actor loser at the Academy Awards, adding another near-miss to his growing collection after failing to take home the trophy for his role as Marty Mauser in Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme.
Marty Supreme, with nine nominations, did not take home any Oscars.
The competition was stiff, but Michael B. Jordan's electric dual performance in Sinners took home the award.

Chalamet has been in the crosshairs lately, largely thanks to comments he made in an interview with Matthew McConaughey, in which he dismissed ballet and opera as arts "no one cares about." The full context of the remarks is more nuanced than the viral clip, but the backlash wasn't really about ballet anyway.
It was the breaking point after years of Chalamet oversaturation, some say, driven by back-to-back blockbuster press cycles for A Complete Unknown and Marty Supreme, leaving large swaths of the internet completely exhausted by his existence. As a reminder, Dune: Part Three is slated to release in December.

The show itself was also not kind to Timmy over his ballet and opera comments, and host Conan O'Brien made it known.

But it's surely not Chalamet's last Best Actor nomination. In fact, the internet should prepare to see more of Timmy next awards season after Dune 3 hits theaters.
