Timothee Chalamet attended the 2026 Oscars with his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. He was hoping to take the award home for Best Actor for the sports drama, “Marty Supreme.” However, the actor not only lost the award to Michael B. Jordan for “Sinners” but was also mocked multiple times for his controversial comments about ballet and opera. Due to this, sources say, the couple walked out mid-show and were “replaced by seat fillers for an hour.”

The arts community recently criticized Timothy Chalamet for saying “no one cares” about ballet and opera during a televised sit-down with Matthew McConaughey. And it seems this statement came to haunt the best actor nominee. Chalamet was repeatedly mocked for his comment at the Academy Awards 2026.

“Security is extremely tight tonight. I’m told there’s concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities,” said the Oscar host Conan O’Brien in his monologue while looking at the actor.

Even Alexandre Singh, who won Best Live Action Short Film for “Two People Exchanging Saliva,” took a jibe during his speech, saying that “We believe art can change people’s souls,” adding that the change may take “ten years, but we can change society through art, through creativity, through theatre and ballet — and cinema.”

Moreover, a musical number from the movie “Sinners,” with ballerina Misty Copeland dancing in the lead, also took place at the event. She had earlier criticized Chalamet for his cultural views.

As a result of repeated mocking, onlookers told The Sun, the couple walked out of the ceremony for an hour. According to the source, “Timothee and Kylie were replaced by seat fillers for an hour.” “It seems like he had enough of being the butt of the jokes. They only came back just before the Best Actress and Best Actor categories were announced.”
