The b**** ass writers guild expelled him without proof to send a message to other creators. Hollywood is run by the most petty people and deeply f****** racist

Agree. Also, bugonia should have won best picture or at least best adapted screenplay .

I somehow saw a bunch of the best picture movies this year. I personally like Battle better than Bugonia.  The latter was a trip, though.

The biggest surprise is that we actually had a tie in one of the categories. As for the rest, a few mild surprises (cinematography and casting are two that come to mind), but nothing too earth shattering.

I feel like he's doing some type of a rebrand tbh. Nothing he has been doing for the past year frankly comes across like someone who wants to be likeable to the crowd that likes him before. Maybe he's going full manosphere

Ziatch Mar 16, 2026 +21
He was playing into the Marty Supreme character the same as he has for other campaign. Like when he became a big music guy for complete unknown. It popped for the young people on tik tok who he’s trying to get to. The 4 Raws remix was huge and it was sort of the big blow off for young people after a campaign that really appealed to them. It’s not a Manosphere pivot. It’s an understanding of the generation gap and trying to appeal to young people and the hope was that it wouldn’t bleed out of containment too much. Same way he’s going all in on Japanese and Asian media. He’s dating Kylie Jenner who lot of people hate viciously but is also one of the most popular people in the world.

sikonat Mar 16, 2026 +1
You taking an out Timothy Chamalamadingdong or Lewis Hamilton? I’m trying to following the lines but it looks like you’ve replied to the Lewis’s Hamilton comment but the reply to you makes me think I’ve read it wrong

Kendall dated Harry Styles and Bad Bunny. Look at how successful they are.
1
ruth_e_newman Mar 16, 2026 +1
Yeah but Bad Bunny's album Un Verano Sin Ti was acclaimed and he was the most streamed artist in the world, then he started dating Kendall Jenner, then released his least acclaimed album. Then they broke up. He's since released his most acclaimed album Debí Tirar Más Fotos about Puerto Rico and returned to the number 1 most streamed artist. I dont buy any Kardashian / Jenner curse so to speak but Bad Bunny is not a counter argument. Plus Harry Styles has dated a lot of celebrity women.

The cutoff for voting was before he talked about ballet.

tayto Mar 16, 2026 +1
The town hall where he said that was in February. Cutoff for voting was March 5. The wide reach of it wasn’t until after voting ended, but what you said is not true at all.

GodAss69 Mar 16, 2026 +69
Unfortunately "Mr MAGA-Wonderful dipshit" excels in his role, due to him playing a piece of shit while being a piece of shit

Yes, I think the Academy realised he wasn’t really acting that much

swagpanther Mar 16, 2026 +35
Whatever your opinion, the award should be and is given out based on their performance in the movie. None of the social media outrage played a factor, or at least that’s how it’s supposed to work right?

squidlink5 Mar 16, 2026 +1
Oscars are just over hyped as some ultimate award and recognition of talent. Judges were not needed to see the movies. Now they are saying judges need to watch but how can they verify if someone really watched it? First is popularity, second is talent.

sikonat Mar 16, 2026 +1
It’s a political campaign more than performance.
1
Own_Faithlessness769 Mar 16, 2026 +1
If that was true Sean Penn would not have won.
1
SgtMajorPanda Mar 16, 2026 +1
Exactly why he didn't win anything, because he simply isn't as good as some people are making him out to be. The Opera and Ballet comments had nothing to do with it, I agree.

Randolphbonerman Mar 16, 2026 +1
Yeah f*** Kevin O’Leary and f*** anyone who platforms his dipshittery.

And it was easy to advocate for Michael. He is a great kid, respectful, kind-hearted, and just an all-around good kid. It wasn't hard to get the voters to vote for him. Mind you, Michael grew up in front of the screen. He has a stellar reputation.

Trust me, that's the only blemish the kid has. Don't get me wrong, we were all rooting for Jonathan till we heard, saw, and read those files. So far, my boy is keeping his nose clean(literally) and focused on himself. We lost Chadwick, and thought these new actors would do the entertainment industry justice with acting, directing, producing, and the rest. For what it's worth, he is still and always will be a stand-up guy. How you treat people around you matters in the industry. Ask Dianne Warren why she keeps losing year in year out.

escargot3 Mar 16, 2026 +20
It’s a lot bigger blemish than saying Opera and ballet are dying out
20
Jizzipient Mar 16, 2026 -4
MBJ speaking up for Majors is a more serious blemish, but the Ballet & Opera comment is definately a way bigger blemish.
-4
Neat_Trifle9515 Mar 16, 2026 -15
No, it's not. End of story. Timothee didn't win because the voters didn't vote for him. Jonathan Majors isn't MBJ's concern anymore. I'm not sorry your boy and his wack movie didn't win. Like, I am not going to cruficy a black man supporting another black man. Please have this same energy for all the white d***** bags who lay hands on women. Hmmm, like Sean Penn and rest. Bye, Felicia.

Seems like this is a race thing for you and has nothing to do with acting or public decorum.

You think openly supporting an abuser isn't a bigger blemish than considering opera and ballet dying arts..?

dreamerkid001 Mar 16, 2026 +1
I don’t think anyone here is upset that he didn’t win. They’re just saying MBJ also hurt his reputation by going to bat for Majors.

Easy-Buy6860 Mar 16, 2026 +1
what scandal at Bafta, the n word? why would that affect him winning?

vu_sua Mar 16, 2026 +6
No. The voting was in way before his opera comment. That was like 5 days ago

I saw him on the red carpet and as a Canadian, I’m embarrassed that he’s from my country. He looked tacky and classless as hell.

kiwi_crusher Mar 16, 2026 +6
Context?

Responsible-Coffee1 Mar 16, 2026 +22
This is a reference to Timmy saying publicly that “no one cares about ballet and opera” with about one week left before ballots were due. Along with the casting of Kevin O’Leary (the guy from Shark Tank).
22
animalivebecome Mar 16, 2026 +9
No one even cared or knew he said that until it blew up after voting closed

Ok_Ear2251 Mar 16, 2026 +15
TCs comments will only help angry, need-to-feel-offended types rush to opera and ballet performances. Kevin whatever... Who cares. He's invisible tomorrow.

Another person in the same movie. If you are going to participate, try to be informed.

And what does a random person in the movie have to do with Timothée getting snubbed? This is insanely unrelated
2
Flemz Mar 16, 2026 +4
The thread is about Chalamet and the movie he’s in. The movie didn’t get anything either. Also Kevin O’Leary is a well known billionaire and one of the “sharks” on Shark Tank, not some random guy

Jizzipient Mar 16, 2026 +2
OP's Title: Oscars Snubs and Surprises: Timothée Chalamet ***and*** ‘Marty Supreme’ Win Nothing u/King_Hippos's comment: Timmy boy shoulda kept his mouth shut, ***and*** they should’ve cast someone else instead of Mr MAGA-Wonderful dipshit. Both of them come in 2 parts - <Timothée not winning> ***and <***Marty Supreme not winning> You just seem to be stuck on the first part.

>Timmy boy shoulda kept his mouth shut You understand this is an ACTING award, right? They give it to who they thought gave the best performance?

chrismckong Mar 16, 2026 +23
It is much more political than just an acting award. You also have to have a good Oscars campaign to win.

I don’t think “keeping your mouth shut” is a good Oscar Campiagn, sorry

Worked for Sean Penn!

Lol its the Oscar's, not exactly known for being impartial politically. Who do you think determines the winners..?

Is it that unfathomable to you that from the thousands of people who vote for the academy that most of them vote based on who they thought gave the best performance lol
-4
PinchedTazerZ0 Mar 16, 2026 +6
There are decades of performances getting snubbed and many examples of a fan favorite winning. I'm sure a lot of them do vote with that in mind but at the end of the day it's subjective and dependent on campaigns. I'm genuinely surprised that Jordan won this one over Hawke's performance for example but happy for him
6
Special-Garlic1203 Mar 16, 2026
It's unfathomable to me that a baby who has only been on the earth 1 year is on reddit typing and yet here you are clearly unaware of any previous Oscars season or the widely held facts about it.

What “widely held facts” are we missing lmao do go on

joe_beardon Mar 16, 2026 +2
There's been many instances where a studio or producer has successfully lobbied for their movie to win Oscars, most famously Harvey Weinstein for Shakespeare in Love. Remember, the Academy is made up of industry members who first and foremost are thinking of their careers.
2
PlanetLandon Mar 16, 2026 +5
No. They don’t. The Oscars have not been merit based for nearly 30 years. It’s a system that can be easily gamed now, and the “big” categories go to whichever studio invested the most in the game.
5
Afwife1992 Mar 16, 2026 +6
Interestingly Warner brothers (which is being sold) had one battle after the other AND Sinners. They went out with a bang.
6
wilyacalmdown Mar 16, 2026 +2
Strangely thats not how these awards work for the most part, I honestly believe they should remove "best performance" from the category title. It should be something along the lines of "favourite actor/actress during the year who gave a good performance".... but something more professional than that title obviously
2
herm7s Mar 16, 2026 +1
everyone's talking about the opera ballet comment as if his entire campaign wasn't insufferable from the second the movie dropped. also, the movie was incredible but his performance was not the reason why it was great. if anything i'm shocked about it not winning best original screenplay
1
cryptic-fox Mar 16, 2026 +1
Michael B. Jordan winning instead of Timmy is not a surprise. And I’m glad he won. Timmy didn’t deserve it.

Have you seen Marty Supreme?? I’m sorry but he was absolutely phenomenal in that and you are lying if you don’t think so

Meh he played a d***** who spouts bullshit and has recently done nothing but show that in reality he is a douchebag that spouts bullshit, evidently wouldn’t exactly call that a stellar acting role.

MBJ performance was not better than Timmys or Leo’s.

Even with how weak this year was the category chalamet wasn't going to win even before the whole ballet thing.

The votes aren’t cast night of. They were already sent in. The comment was a few days ago

It was in Feb.

vu_sua Mar 16, 2026 +1
He wasnt more ostracized about it until early march. And even Feb 24th pretty sure most voting was done. This idea that he lost d/t cancel culture is such a perpetuated idea that needs to stop. Nobody cares enough about opera/ballet to change their vote even if it did like up like that

thequasiprophet Mar 16, 2026 +1
The Marty Supreme snub was BS. I’m happy for Coogler and PTA, but MS was an amazing film. Inspiring, strange, intense, beautiful. Speaking with my publicist hat on, he’s going to be the next Leo. Years from now he’ll get his flowers. But this year he turned in an honest and true Oscar-worthy performance. MBJ was amazing, and it was so close I know. But Sinners is an ensemble film at the end of the day. Timmy was Marty Supreme. Separate the art from the artist. Separate Timmy from Safdie. And don’t get so offended when someone makes the truly valid point that cinema must be protected at all costs less it go the way of opera, ballet, and theatre. When’s the last time any of you actually attended these events? Be real with yourself.

No, those were my independent and well-written initial thoughts. But I applaud you for managing to string along 13 words, some were even disyllabic. How impressive.

Copthill Mar 16, 2026 +1
I have MS 3 stars. There was a whole arc that ending up not really mattering in the story.
1
thequasiprophet Mar 16, 2026 +1
Fair. But Sinners also had holes. The Choctaw storyline went nowhere. Why no Latin influence when we clearly see a tamales sign in the movie? The entire scene with them eating the garlic served no purpose whatsoever. The way the vampires were invited in for the final showdown was pretty ridiculous. And how could they all, with their never quite explained weird shared consciousness, forget the sun was coming up? I loved the movie, btw.
1
Habeatsibi Mar 16, 2026 +1
Agreed. Marty Supreme is easily the best film of the year and Timmy's acting was terrific. The voters have chosen against his image and personality. Seems like Timmy managed to piss off plenty of peers. Sean Penn has done far more abusive things, but he's already won his third award. What's so awful has Tim done lmao? Just talks too much? Drags a Kardashian around with him?
1
MadferitCmon Mar 16, 2026 -46
Chalamet not winning this will live in infamy just like Leo not winning for Wolf of Wallstreet. Michael B Jordan literally got handed a pitty Oscar. He wasn't better than Leo. He wasn't better than Ethan Hakwe. He wasn't better than Jesse Plemons. I'd say Sinners actually got LESS awards that it deserved!! But Best Actor was not one of them.
-46
tavelingran Mar 16, 2026 +1
Nah, it won't live in infamy. There are other performances considered deserving already being discussed. You can't exactly call this one a surprising loss, considering the other nominees, predictions, fan favorites and awards. It's just a disappointing loss to some. He, in my opinion, was also not better than Ethan Hawke or Leo. He also didn't come anywhere close to being better than Jesse Plemons! That was the real shocker, imo and many others.

I agree that the best actor Oscar went to the wrong person in 2014… but it should have been Chiwetel Ejiofor in *12 Years a Slave*, not Leo.
