Timothée Chalamet was nominated for Best Actor for his role in “Marty Supreme.” The trophy went to Michael B. Jordan instead, leaving him obviously disappointed.

Timothée Chalamet Sits Out His Recent Movie Launch

Chalamet was unequivocally absent from a trailer launch for his new movie “Dune: Part Three” on Tuesday in Los Angeles. The star-studded event was graced with a number of his co-stars for the movie, including Zendaya, Javier Bardem, and Robert Pattinson. The stars gathered at the AMC Century City to share snippets of the sci-fi picture.

Although the trailer launch was just two days after the Academy Awards, for which the star was in town, he did not attend the event in person; instead, he sent in a pre-recorded video message. “After two impactful films with an in-development process that started in the [mid-2010s], a production process that started in 2018, and over 150 production days across the three films at large, today we are debuting the trailer to Dune: Part Three,” he said in the recording.

Chalamet then praised the director Denis Villeneuve, calling him the master of cinema and hailing him for achieving the true act of cinema with the movie. The actor concluded his message by saying he hoped viewers enjoyed the sneak peek into the upcoming movie. “I’m not alone in saying thank you to Denis for his dedication in bringing the Dune films to life and now the Dune trilogy to life. I hope you enjoy this first sneak peek at Dune: Part Three.”

What Happened At The 2026 Oscars?

The “Call Me by Your Name” star was up for the best actor, along with other talented stars in the industry. His role as Marty in “Mart Supreme,” which, according to The Daily Mail, is a picture based on the life of a real underground ping-pong player in New York in the 1950s, was well applauded by many.

Ultimately, the star did not go home with the trophy but lost to Jordan for his outstanding role in “Sinners.” Chalamet reportedly could not conceal his disappointment all night, even though he managed to clap for the winner of his category. The heat from the media came after the 30-year-old movie star made a comment about ballet, which raised eyebrows as both his mom and sister were trained in the performing art.

“No one cares about opera and ballet,” he said, apparently adding fuel to the fire and igniting backlash from viewers. Exclusive sources have revealed that his behavior, words, and tone during the interviews have helped the public paint an opinion of him in a different light. Reportedly, a “Stop Timmy” campaign against the actor has already been in the works.

The Blast reported that one time, the cameras caught a moment between the movie star and Kris Jenner, who was also present at the event.

They were seen to be in a deep conversation where Kris appeared to offer her daughter’s partner some form of reassurance. An insider shared their thoughts on the moment, they said, “I am sure she put the loss in perspective… I am sure she told him he is super young and he will get his Oscar later.” Kylie and the actor tried to maintain smiles as they had the cameras in their faces, which she found uncomfortable.

Another source shared that the weight of this loss rested heavily on his shoulders, and as such, he was going to take some time off. “He would have loved to have won, so he’s going to take this time to lay low,” the source shared. “He is going to enjoy the next few days away from it all to decompress.”

Fans’ eyes caught at the chances of an awkward interaction between Chalamet and his girlfriend’s ex, Travis Scott, at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. More noticeably, the movie star’s sister, Pauline Chalamet, reportedly gave Kylie the cold shoulder.

A viral video showed the brother and sister hugging before the event began and exchanging pleasantries. At the time, Kylie had already gone to take her seat, but when she saw Pauline, she smiled widely and tried to hug her. Pauline was hesitant about the hug gesture and brought it in after the “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star rose from her seat.

A body language expert, Susan Constantine, analyzed the video, stating the “impersonal,” “disingenuous,” and “nonverbal smug” in Pauline’s physical reactions. The expert also pointed out that the hug lacked warmth and how the actor’s sister quickly dismissed Kylie after the “faux hug.”
