"If Timothee Chalamet really wants to win a best actor Oscar at the upcoming 98th Academy Awards, the Marty Supreme star better avoid making the big mistake that he made at the 97th annual ceremony: Walking the red carpet with girlfriend Kylie Jenner and having her seated beside him in the Dolby Theatre. Hollywood industry expert Rob Shuter said that people were pretty shocked that Chalamet didn't win for his performance as Bob Dylan in 2024's A Complete Unknown."
"Everybody thought he he was going to win (for A Complete Unknown). The studio thought he was going to win, said Shuter, a former publicist, gossip columnist and editor of the American edition of OK! magazine who now publishes the Naughty But Nice Substack. Speaking on The Nerve podcast, Shuter said that the Oscars producers clearly expected Chalamet to win because they sat him in the winner's seat, one of the seats in the front row of the Dolby Theatre."
"When second-time winner Adrien Brody's name was announced instead, there was a shock, and there was almost like an investigation in Hollywood, almost like a failed political campaign, to uncover why this didn't work, Shuter said. Why didn't this work? What was it about this movie, this process, this campaign, that didn't connect? And all the results, I'm told, pointed their finger at Kylie."
Timothée Chalamet walked the red carpet with Kylie Jenner and had her seated beside him at the Dolby Theatre during the 97th Oscars. Jenner's presence was cited as a factor in Chalamet not winning Best Actor for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. Chalamet had been widely expected to win and was seated in a front-row winner's seat. Adrien Brody won instead, triggering an industry inquiry that reportedly focused blame on Jenner and on Academy members' negative views of Kardashian reality TV fame. Conflicting reports then emerged about a possible breakup after two years; Chalamet did not attend a star-studded party thrown by Jeff Bezos and Lauren San.
