Movie fans Timothée Chalamet was definitely a hot topic at the Oscars 2025 and for good reason. He was nominated for Best Actor he had girlfriend Kylie Jenner by his side and he even had some funny red carpet moments . Let's unpack all the Chalamet buzz from the big night.
Kylie Swaps Seats for a Sweet Reason: Putting Family First at the Oscars Ceremony
Eagle-eyed fans noticed something interesting during the Oscars broadcast. Kylie Jenner who was there supporting Timothée actually switched seats right before the Best Actor award was announced. Why the sudden move? Turns out it was super thoughtful.
While Kylie was sitting next to Timothée for most of the show she moved to sit behind him just before his category. This allowed Timothée’s mom Nicole Flender to sit right next to her son during that important moment. Sources say Timothée didn't ask Kylie to move but he appreciated the gesture a lot. How sweet is that?
Even though Timothée did not win the Best Actor award Kylie was reportedly very proud of him anyway. It is cool to see them supporting each other at such a high-profile event and Kylie making sure Timothée's mom could be right there with him.
Red Carpet Rap Refusal: Timothée Chalamet Handles Awkward Interview Request Like a Pro
Red carpets can be a little strange and Timothée Chalamet had a slightly awkward interview moment this year. Julianne Hough a co-host for "Dancing with the Stars" asked him a pretty out-there question. She wanted to know if he would do his "skrt skeet" rap from SNL but in a Bob Dylan voice. Talk about putting someone on the spot!
Timothée handled it like a champ though. He politely declined and some fans online praised him for it. They thought it was a bit much to ask him to perform on cue like that. One person online even compared it to a "dance for me monkey" kind of request. Ouch. It seems like Timothée is happy to joke around but maybe not just rap on demand during a serious awards show red carpet.
It is worth remembering Timothée actually showed off his rap skills on SNL multiple times in sketches with Pete Davidson. He is funny and talented but even talented people can say no to random performance requests especially in the middle of an interview.
From SNL Skits to Oscar Nominee: Timothée Chalamet's Comedy Chops and Dramatic Range
Speaking of SNL Timothée's rapping skills are not the only funny thing he has done there. He has hosted the show a couple of times and always brings the laughs. Remember his "Rap Roundtable" and "Museum of Hip-Hop Panel" sketches with Pete Davidson? Those were hilarious and showed off his comedic side.
But then look at his Oscar nomination. It was for Best Actor for his role in "A Complete Unknown" where he plays Bob Dylan. That is a seriously dramatic role worlds away from rapping on SNL. It really shows Timothée's range as an actor that he can do both comedy and serious drama so well. Whether he is making you laugh on TV or impressing you in a movie Timothée Chalamet is definitely one to watch.
Oscar Loss But Still a Winner: Chalamet's Gracious Reaction and Vanity Fair Party Appearance
Even though Timothée did not win the Oscar for Best Actor this year he seemed to take it all in stride. He was nominated alongside some incredible actors and Adrien Brody ended up taking home the award for "The Brutalist". When Brody's name was announced Timothée was seen clapping and congratulating his fellow nominee. That is always good sportsmanship.
Later that night Timothée and Kylie Jenner were seen partying at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. They both looked stylish and seemed to be having a good time. Kylie even changed into a different dress for the party a lace corset number and Timothée looked sharp in a Tom Ford suit. Oscar night is a long one so it makes sense to change outfits for the after-parties! Losing or winning it is still a night to celebrate being nominated and part of Hollywood's biggest event.
