Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were reportedly absent from the Oscars for an hour following a series of mocking remarks directed at Chalamet during the Academy Awards ceremony. Chalamet, nominated for his role in Marty Supreme, was expected to win the Best Actor award but faced backlash for comments he made about ballet and opera, leading to criticism from those communities and the public.
Jokes at Chalamet’s expense continued throughout the Oscars, with host Conan O’Brien making light of the situation. Alexandre Singh, winner of Best Live Action Short Film, indirectly referenced the controversy in his acceptance speech.
A source revealed that Chalamet and Jenner left the event for an hour, only returning before the Best Actor and Best Actress categories were announced. Chalamet ultimately lost to Michael B. Jordan in his category. The duo later attended the Vanity Fair after-party, attempting to keep a low profile.
The evening saw success for the film “Sinners,” which also won several awards, including Best Actor. “One Battle After Another” secured six awards, including Best Picture, making it a triumphant night for the film industry.
