HOLLYWOOD is in chaos as Timothée Chalamet’s arrogant antics spark a massive backlash that torpedoed his Best Actor Oscar chances.

The 30-year-old star’s cringeworthy promo blitz for Marty Supreme – featuring tacky orange outfits and ping-pong paddle bags – enraged insiders who called it “embarrassing.”, according to Radaronline.

Chalamet’s relentless self-praise about delivering “top-level s” for years only fueled the fury.

His PDA-heavy appearances with Kylie Jenner, including matching orange outfits, led critics to brand their three-year romance a publicity stunt.

The real meltdown came after Chalamet’s Feb. 24 town hall where he sneered, “no one cares” about opera or ballet anymore.

This sparked a ferocious “Stop Timmy” campaign to derail his Oscar bid.

Heavy hitters like Nathan Lane called him a “schmuck,” opera star Isabel Leonard slammed him as “ineloquent and narrow-minded,” and Steven Spielberg took a sly jab defending the arts.

On Oscar night, Marty Supreme crashed with zero wins, and insiders say Chalamet’s “I hate this” hiss at Michael B. Jordan’s Best Actor win was a brutal industry smackdown.

Sources reveal the Academy rejected his cringeworthy self-promotion outright, warning him to “keep his trap shut” next time.

Now, Timothée is fast becoming one of Hollywood’s most hated stars – and the fallout is far from over.
