Timothée Chalamet Loses Best Actor to Michael B. Jordan as Optics Dominate His Oscars Night

Attention shifted to backlash over his opera and ballet remarks.

Overview

  • Michael B. Jordan won Best Actor for Sinners, drawing a standing ovation.
  • Kylie Jenner skipped the red carpet, sat beside Chalamet in a red Schiaparelli look with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, and the pair left the ceremony hand in hand.
  • Host Conan O’Brien referenced Chalamet’s recent opera and ballet comments in his monologue, joking about security concerns from those communities and quipping that he “left out jazz.”
  • Outlets circulated lipreader-based reports of tense whispers involving Chalamet, Jenner and Pauline Chalamet during the show, though such interpretations are unverified.
  • Post-ceremony photos from the Vanity Fair party showed Chalamet embracing Jenner and kissing her on the cheek after the loss.
