Timothee Chalamet is brutally SNUBBED for Michael B Jordan after humiliating Oscars night where he was the butt of every joke... and his response said it all

Timothee Chalamet suffered a career blow as he failed to win Best Actor at the 2026 Oscars despite being an awards season frontrunner.

The 30-year-old earned the nomination for his performance in Josh Safdie's ping-pong drama film Marty Supreme.

This year's Best Actor category was stacked. Chalamet was up against Michael B. Jordan (Sinners), Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent).

But it was Jordan who came out on top and earned the honor over Chalamet at the 2026 ceremony.

Chalamet looked visibly disappointed after 2025 Best Actor winner Adrien Brody read out Jordan's name instead of his. 

He offered Jordan polite applause and appeared to mouth 'yay' as the stunned Sinners star leaned over to hug his mother Donna before heading to the stage.

Jordan's win comes after a humiliating night for Chalamet who was made a laughing stock by host Conan O'Brien over his recent 'opera and ballet' jab drama. 

Jordan, who is now a first time Oscar-winner, was tearful during his acceptance speech as he thanked the audience and voters by saying: 'Thank you everybody in this room and everybody at home for supporting me over my career. I feel it. 

'I know you guys want me to do well, and I want to do that because you guys bet on me, so thank you for keeping betting on me.

'And I'm going to keep stepping up and I'm going to keep being the best version of myself I can be,' said Jordan, whose film Sinners also took home Best Screenplay for director Ryan Coogler.

While Chalamet dominated the early season with Best Actor wins at the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards, the momentum shifted after Jordan won at the Actor Awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards, earlier this month.

Adding to the tension, the Oscars arrived on the heels of Chalamet's controversial comments about opera and ballet, which sparked a wave of backlash from the arts community, including from legendary director Steven Spielberg.

Conan O'Brien, who returned as host of the Academy Awards for the second consecutive year, kicked off his opening monologue with a jab at Chalamet.

'Security is extremely tight tonight. I'm just going to mention that,' tuxedo-clad O'Brien said to the crowd inside Los Angeles' iconic Dolby Theatre. 

He then quipped, 'I'm told there's a concern about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities.'

The camera then quickly cut to Chalamet, who could be seen nervously smiling beside his busty girlfriend Kylie Jenner.

'They're just mad you left out jazz,' O'Brien jokingly added.

O'Brien tried but failed to make amends with Chalamet later in the night as he told the crowd he and the Marty Supreme star were 'vibing.'

'We're vibing, right?' he asked Chalamet, whose reply wasn't picked up by the event's microphones. 'He doesn't think so.'
