Timothée Chalamet shuns Oscars while celebrating Knicks' title
Timothée Chalamet threw shade at the Oscars while celebrating the New York Knicks' NBA championship. On Saturday night the "Dune" actor was on the court taking photos of the Knicks players with his phone at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, saying, "Way rather this than the Oscars." "C'mon, baby!
Knicks are champions, baby!" Chalamet, who sat courtside for the NBA Finals Game 5 sans girlfriend Kylie Jenner, added. The Oscar nominee, 30, was a prominent fixture at the NBA playoffs 2026, celebrating the Knicks at every step of the way until they won their first NBA championship in 53 years.
Chalamet even joined the athletes' post-game locker room champagne shower and held up a copy of The New York Post. His frustrations about the Academy come three months after he lost the best actor award to Michael B.
