Overview
- Timothée Chalamet sat for a live Mind the Game taping with LeBron James and Steve Nash before an audience that included Academy members as photos of their meet-up circulated online.
- He lost best actor at both BAFTA and the SAG-AFTRA Actor Awards, where Michael B. Jordan won, a combo that historically dims Oscar prospects.
- BAFTA’s winner, Robert Aramayo, is not in this year’s Oscar field, which complicates reads of momentum even as analysts say the odds have shifted away from Chalamet.
- Marty Supreme has earned about $173 million worldwide, becoming A24’s top-grossing release, and the film continues to roll out in new markets with an 800-screen expansion.
- The film scored nine Oscar nominations including best picture, with Chalamet nominated for best actor and credited as a producer, while some industry observers critique his campaign ‘swagger’ and optics, including reported concerns about his high-profile relationship.
