Three months ago, the world thought Sunday would be Timothée Chalamet's night.
The star of "Marty Supreme" did everything right at the end of 2025. He marketed the movie well, the film came out to almost unanimous praise, and his performance was lauded as one of the best in recent memory.

Except, it wasn't. Following weeks of Chalamet's odds plummeting after Michael B. Jordan won the SAG Awards for Best Actor in his performance in "Sinners," it came to a crescendo on Sunday.

But instead of the reaction that the filmer wanted – anger, frustration, sadness – Chalamet began clapping right away as Jordan was awarded Best Actor, even getting out of his seat to praise his peer.
While fans fought online over who should have won between the two actors, even Leonardo DiCaprio fans jumped in for his phenomenal performance in the Best Picture-winning "One Battle After Another," Chalamet showed sportsmanship.
Overall, it was a tough night for the young actor and his crew on "Marty Supreme," which left the Academy Awards without any victories.
