"O'Leary, who plays tycoon Milton Rockwell in 'Marty Supreme,' told Variety on the Oscars red carpet that he bet $1,000 on the betting app Kalshi that Chalamet will win the prize. 'I know the voting stopped long before that controversy happened,' O'Leary told the magazine, referring to a comment Chalamet made during a conversation with Matthew McConaughey."
"Chalamet has been the frontrunner for the best actor Oscar until recently, when 'Sinners' star Michael B. Jordan won the best actor prize at SAG's Actor Awards. And O'Leary is right - Oscar voting did indeed close before Chalamet's mini-controversy. So whether Mr. Wonderful wins or loses $1,000, it won't be related to a love or hatred for opera and ballet."
Kevin O'Leary, known as 'Mr. Wonderful' from 'Shark Tank,' expressed strong confidence in Timothée Chalamet's chances of winning the best actor Oscar by placing a $1,000 bet on the betting app Kalshi. Chalamet was the frontrunner for the award until Michael B. Jordan won best actor at the SAG Awards for 'Sinners.' O'Leary noted that Oscar voting closed before Chalamet made controversial comments about ballet and opera, meaning any outcome would not be influenced by that recent controversy.
