Ballet dancers and opera singers may be rejoicing after Timothée Chalamet lost the best actor race. sinners star Michael B. Jordan at the Academy Awards on Monday.
At first it seemed almost certain that it would be young people. Marty Supreme The star was awarded a gold statuette following her success at a number of awards ceremonies, including the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards earlier this year.
But an oversaturated bounty campaign and some questionable comments about the bounty The “irrelevance” of ballet and opera Despite early victories, it appeared to turn the tide against Chalamet, allowing Jordan to surpass him in office.
“Mom, what’s up,” Jordan said with a cheeky smile to his mother in the crowd as she accepted the award. “I’m here because of the people who came before me: Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jaime Fox, Will Smith. To be among my ancestors, among those greats, I thank everyone in this room and everyone at home who has supported me throughout my career. I feel it.”
While some believe it was Chalamet’s controversial comments about classical art forms that ruined his Oscar chances, it’s likely that most Academy voters had already voted when Chalamet said a word (footage of his comments surfaced in the US on March 5, the same day the final round of Oscar voting closed).
Beyond this, it is necessary to take into account the strength of Jordan’s performance. Ryan Coogler’s surprisingly convincing performance as twin brothers Smoke and Stack in the vampire horror film earned him the best actor award at this month’s Actor Awards, a key Oscar bellwether.

“Security is super tight tonight,” O’Brien joked in his opening monologue as the camera panned to Chalamet and his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. “I have been told there are concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities.”
Although O’Brien is not known for his political comedy, he of course also referenced the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein affair.
“For the first time since 2012, no British actor has been nominated for best actor or best actress,” O’Brien said. “A British spokesman said: ‘Yes, at least we’ll make arrests ours of pedophiles.”
