Will Timothée Chalamet win the Oscar for best actor? Latest odds in flux after opera controversy

Timothée Chalamet has been up for the Academy Award for Best Actor three times, narrowly missing the win in 2018 and 2025. After a critically acclaimed performance in ping-pong epic Marty Supreme, the odds were finally in Chalamet’s favor heading into the ceremony this Sunday, March 15—until he learned the hard way that ballet and opera fans are not to be trifled with.

At a town hall hosted by CNN and Variety on February 24, Chalamet shared his hot take on why he prefers working in film to other creative industries.
