Timothée Chalamet faced a series of setbacks at the Oscars ceremony, where he was teased by host Conan O’Brien for his recent controversy around opera and ballet, and ultimately lost the Best Actor award to Michael B. Jordan. The evening took a further awkward turn for Chalamet when his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, seemed to have an uncomfortable encounter with his sister, Pauline, at the event.
In a widely circulated video, Pauline was seen approaching her brother inside the Dolby Theatre, with Kylie trying to get her attention from behind. The interaction between Kylie and Pauline, which included a brief hug, was perceived as tense by viewers, with some commenting on the apparent awkwardness of the situation.
Previously, Pauline had made critical remarks about billionaires and CEOs who own private jets, expressing concerns about wealth inequality in the US. Chalamet and Jenner had made headlines at the Critics’ Choice Awards when Chalamet referred to Jenner as his “partner of three years” and his “foundation” in his acceptance speech.
While they did not walk the red carpet together, the couple was later spotted sitting together at the awards show, engaging in off-screen conversations. A lipreader claimed to have detected tension between Chalamet and Jenner, suggesting that Jenner had referred to Chalamet as “being a child” and inquiring about his demeanor.
During the Oscars, host Conan O’Brien took a jab at Chalamet for his remarks on opera and ballet, which had stirred controversy online. Chalamet had made these comments during a town hall event with Matthew McConaughey at the University of Texas at Austin. Despite being nominated for Best Actor, Chalamet lost to Michael B. Jordan, who won for his role in Sinners.
Chalamet’s comments and subsequent backlash, along with the award results, sparked conversations among viewers and fans. To stay updated on more showbiz news and gossip, follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Threads for the latest headlines.
