Ouch! Timothée Chalamet might’ve really done it this time…
Following his harsh criticism of ballet and opera, we’re sure you’ve been seeing all the backlash. It’s been a wild time for Timmy, and now it only seems to be getting worse… Because this source thinks he’s totally ruined his chance at getting that Oscar he’s had his eyes on.
Per an Academy insider for The US Sun, he’s no longer a favored pick for the Best Actor award:
“I’ve been a member of the Academy for 12 years and I’ve never seen someone throw away their chances of winning as brazenly as Timothée.”
OMG!
They continued:
“It’s not just a few people talking about it, most of the voters are hyper-aware of his antics which is never a good thing. You don’t want people talking about you during awards season for anything other than your performance. Nominees who are favored more tend to be more understated and Timothée is the opposite of that.”
Oh man… Not good. Not good at all.

But what was the main reason he’s ruined his chances? The source explained:
“He blew his chances for a few reasons. What at first seemed to be a genuine passion for the arts has rubbed people the wrong way and almost makes it as though he’s making a mockery of the arts. I’m sure that’s not his intention but that’s how it comes across. And then there’s Kylie [Jenner].”
Per the insider, his romance with Kylie Jenner has not been helping the “narrative”:
“While I certainly would never place any blame on her, she’s done nothing wrong, it does shift the narrative when the leading Oscar nominee brings a Kardashian as their date. Many people have preconceived notions of what that means. It doesn’t matter if Kylie is polite and well-mannered, which I’ve heard she is. She seems lovely. But him being in that high-profile of a relationship paints him in a different light.”
They concluded:
“At the end of the day, it does impact his chances of winning and impacts his reputation.”
This source even said they changed their vote from Timothée to Michael B. Jordan after all his stunts:
“Timothée originally had my vote. It changed to Michael B. Jordan as the awards season progressed. Not for any one reason, but Michael’s performance in Sinners stood out to me more than Marty Supreme as the weeks passed. And Michael standing on that stage holding the Oscar would be something I’d be proud to vote for. I can’t say the same thing about if Timothée were to win.”
Oof. If all this is true, things are NOT looking good for Timmy T. Thoughts, Perezcious readers?
