TIMOTHEE Chalamet and Kylie Jenner became one of the night’s most talked-about couples at the Oscars after a brief on-camera exchange sparked intense online speculation.
A lip reader claimed Chalamet told Jenner, “I hate this,” before she reassured him and he later asked for “a big cuddle.”
The moment came during a difficult evening for Chalamet, who was nominated for Best Actor for Marty Supreme but ultimately lost to Michael B. Jordan for Sinners.
Chalamet had been considered an early favorite in the race, but the ceremony took a tougher turn as host Conan O’Brien referenced backlash to the actor’s recent comments about opera and ballet, according to Daily Mail.
Despite the disappointment, Chalamet appeared to applaud Jordan’s win, while Jenner – who’s one of the world’s richest reality stars – stayed by his side throughout the ceremony. Jordan’s victory marked a major career milestone, with Sinners also picking up Best Screenplay for Ryan Coogler.
The Oscars segment quickly fuelled entertainment chatter, with fans dissecting Chalamet’s expression, Jenner’s support, and the couple’s chemistry during the telecast.
While the exchange was brief, it added another viral pop culture moment to an already drama-filled awards night.
