Despite one of the most aggressive award season campaigns in history, Timothee Chalamet did not win Best Actor at the Academy Awards on Sunday night.
His work in Marty Supreme was stellar, but in the end, he was edged out by the equally deserving Michael B. Jordan.
And now, to add insult to injury, Timmy appears to be on the receiving end of some passive-aggressive shade from his girlfriend’s ex.
Kylie Jenner’s baby daddy, Travis Scott, arrived on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair post-Oscar party just minutes after Kylie and Timmy finished posing for photographers.
And it seems the couple was very much on his mind throughout the evening.
As Page Six reports, Travis took to his Instagram Stories to share a clip of Jordan getting emotional after he was announced as the winner.
For obvious reasons, many took this as Jordan’s way of throwing shade at Chalamet.
“Travis Scott is a professional hater. I love it,” said one user on X (formerly Twitter).
“Timothee Chalamet looks miserable and Travis Scott was shading him and is there too.. help this man,” added another.
“Travis Scott posting mbj is so f–king funny like brah,” quipped a third netizen.
Others noted that Travis might have just been celebrating Jordan’s win, rather than throwing shade at Chalamet.
“People saying Travis Scott hating on Timothee Chalamet are y’all dumb a Black man who he’s friends with won best actor of course he’ll post it,” claimed one user.
But as Page Six points out, this would not be the first time that Travis talked a little trash about Timothee.
Back on 2023, when Timothee and Kylie first went public with their relationship, Travis released his album Utopia.
On a song titled “Meltdown,” Scott rapped about “chocolate” and “the Willy Wonka factory” before instructing an ex to try and find “another flame hot as me, b–ch.”
Timmy, of course, starred as a young Willy Wonka in the 2023 film Wonka.
We don’t know for sure if Travis intended to throw shade on Sunday night — but if he did, at least he was a lot more subtle about it this time.

There’s a troubled production and then there’s whatever happened on The Deb.
In recent years, Rebel Wilson has been under a lot of stress.
She claims that people involved in her directorial debut film have been working to sabotage her — and the movie itself.
Now, damning audio appears to show her PR team conspiring to portray one of the producers as a “madame” who procures sex workers for a billionaire.
Every story about ‘The Deb’ is enough to make you believe in cursed productions
For over a year, The Deb has been the subject of contentious allegations.
Wilson’s directorial debut seems to have been particularly cursed. And things have now gotten worse.
The Hollywood Reporter obtained an audio recording that appears to show Wilson’s crisis PR team working on a smear campaign against Amanda Ghost, one of the film’s producers.
The audio seemingly shows Jed Wallace outlining social media strategies to badmouth Ghost on a broad scale.
Such a strategy would involve the creation of new, anonymous sites and circulating criminal allegations against the producer.
“We can’t just do, like, oh, she’s a bitch, she sucks,” the speaker in the audio, whom THR identifies as Wallace, says.
“It’s, like, it’s got to be really, really heavy,” he then suggested. “And connected to something that heavy.”
While perhaps spitballing, the idea is floated that Amanda Ghost is an “absolute madame” who procures sex workers for billionaire Len Blavatnik.
Blavatnik’s company financed The Deb.
Notably, Wilson has seemingly been at odds with Blavatnik — after one of the film’s stars, she accuses, recanted allegations against Ghost.
‘Amanda Ghost is a Destroyer of Worlds’ would be a great band name, actually
In addition to Wallace, another name may be familiar to those who’ve followed other recent, high-profile smear campaign stories.
The Agency Group publicist Melissa Nathan is among those receiving these instructions, the report alleges.
(Yes, that name arises in the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal battle, among others.)
Some have accused Wilson of lying under oath, as she apparently denied involvement in smears against Ghost.
One little tidbit … one of the now-deleted smear sites was titled “Amanda Ghost is a Destroyer of Worlds.” Really.
6. Wilson messaged Hurley responding to a negative article on Aug 3rd: “Team, I am obviously very upset about this. You were supposed to get the negative information out about Ghost and have failed to do that… Something has to be done NOW”
— expatriarch.bsky.social (@expatriarch.bsky.social) March 11, 2026 at 2:00 PM
Amanda Ghost’s attorney, Camille Vasquez, spoke to Entertainment Tonight after this bombshell audio was released.
“Rebel Wilson has repeatedly denied any involvement in the creation of the smear websites,” the statement began.
Vasquez continued: “Not just on television but in her sworn legal testimony.”
The statement continued: “We, however, had long suspected that she not only contributed to the malicious sites but that she was the driving force behind them.”
Vasquez concluded: “The evidence we have submitted to the court in California supports that conclusion.”
Maybe society could do something about this?
Wallace and Nathan and more have ties to multiple PR campaigns that had wide-reaching effects.
(Spitfire News has a well-researched and disturbing report on the PR campaign links between Jeffrey Epstein and Justin Baldoni.)
Should companies be allowed to accept money from one party to plant information that they know or believe to be false on social media, astroturfing hate campaigns against innocent parties?
That isn’t always how PR firms work. But there are some recent and dramatic examples showing that being how it plays out.
This whole situation sucks for everyone involved. We cannot claim to know the truth behind any of this. But crisis PR firms should probably not be how we get our information about people, right?

While she may not have won the award for Best Supporting Actress, Teyana Taylor is still making headlines following the 2026 Academy Awards.
Taylor, who was nominated for her role in One Battle After Another, was seen on camera confronting a man backstage at the ceremony after she alleged that he shoved her while she was attempting to move through a crowded area.
The incident reportedly took place as the cast and crew of OBAA celebrated the film’s major wins, including Best Picture.
According to footage circulating on social media, Taylor appeared visibly upset as she addressed the man directly.
“You’re a man putting your hands on a female,” she said during the exchange. “You’re very rude.”
In the same clip, Taylor continued to explain what she believed had happened, telling those nearby that the man had shoved her while trying to control movement backstage.
“He literally shoved me,” she said, adding, “Do not touch me, do not shove me, do not push me.”
Reports indicate that the man she confronted may have been part of the event’s security team.
The alleged altercation occurred as Taylor attempted to return to the stage area after the ceremony, possibly to take photos with her castmates following their Best Picture win.
The backstage area of the Oscars is typically tightly controlled, with security personnel tasked with managing large crowds of nominees, presenters, and media personnel moving through narrow corridors once the show ends.
Still, Taylor made clear in the moment that she believed the interaction crossed a line.
Witnesses nearby appeared concerned as the actress raised her voice and explained what had happened, with several people attempting to understand the situation as it unfolded.
Despite the confrontation, the tense exchange did not appear to escalate further.
Taylor had been one of the most buzzed-about stars of the awards season.
Her performance in this year’s best picture winner earned widespread acclaim and a number of major nominations.
While Taylor ultimately lost the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress to Amy Madigan for her work in Weapons, she joined her castmates on stage later in the night when their film won the ceremony’s top prize.
The brief but heated exchange has become one of the more widely discussed off-camera moments from an otherwise celebratory Oscars night.
Speaking with TMZ in the aftermath of the incident, Teyana was quick to downplay the whole thing.
“Security was just doing a lot. There’s always that one,” she remarked, adding:
“I just don’t tolerate disrespect — especially when it’s unwarranted and it’s unprovoked.” Nor should she!

Many people were delighted by the Oscars results.
One source of delight was Timothee Chalamet losing. He really sabotaged himself.
Still, Timmy attended the Academy Awards with girlfriend Kylie Jenner by his side.
That lead to one of the night’s most awkward moments when his sister approached. What do you make of this?
Here’s what happened …
The 2026 Academy Awards took place on Sunday, March 15.
(A belated happy Ides of March to us all!)
In the audience, Timothee and Kylie were getting situated when the actor’s sister approached.
Pauline Chalamet walks over and she and Timmy seem to greet each other in a warm and animated manner.
It seems to take a moment before it even registers to Kylie that this conversation is taking place.

As you can see in E! News‘ video, Kylie appeared to notice the interaction.
She then stood up.
The makeup mogul and the actress then shared what looked like a polite hug.
Soon, Kylie sat back down, chatting with people behind her.
Timmy and Pauline then posed for photos, flashing their smiles for the cameras.
What was that?
Across social media, the replies are consistently highlighting the vibe and suggesting a likely explanation.
The first is that this was an awkward encounter.
Truly, Kylie and Pauline appear polite — perhaps even cordial — but not exactly warm.
Secondly, it’s not clear if these two actually know each other.
This appears to be how strangers would greet each other if they happen to have a mutual friend.
Kylie and Timmy first met in early 2023, to the best of anyone’s knowledge.
By April of that year, the relationship rumors first began to circulate.
Folks, we’re talking about two people who are nearly three years into their relationship.
That is a long time to not meet someone’s sibling — especially if travel money is no object.
Did Timothee not want Kylie to meet his sister? Did Pauline not want to meet Kylie? What’s going on?
We don’t know why these women seem to be strangers
Kylie and Timothee have chosen to keep things mostly very private.
The downside to this is that it gives the public the freedom to speculate.
If you don’t tell your story, others will do it for you.
That said, there’s no way for Timmy to shut this speculation down without amplifying it.
Will they know each other’s families in time? Maybe.

Any The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives viewer can tell you the worst part about the show.
It’s their relationships.
That goes double for Taylor Frankie Paul, who has an ex-husband and a more recent baby daddy.
She and the latter are in such an explosive fight that production had to pause for the entire cast.
‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Season 5 is taking a pause
TMZ reports that The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives production has ground to a screeching halt.
Many reality series pause production, often at scheduled intervals.
But this isn’t a planned hiatus.
The Season 5 disruption stems from upheaval between Taylor and her baby daddy, Dakota.
What the heck happened?
TMZ‘s inside sources seem to be unclear on the nature of the conflict.
However, whatever it is, it’s apparently “intense enough that filming couldn’t continue as planned.”
We have discussed this before: there is a window where explosive cast drama is reality TV gold.
Anything beyond that threshold, however, effectively sabotages the show.
This can be as serious as someone being in physical danger or as petty as someone refusing to film with a castmate.
What is the fight about?
Thus far, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has spent a lot of time covering Taylor and Dakota’s relationship.
In fact, even if you’ve never watched the show, you probably know that most viewers can agree on one thing:
They don’t like the men.
The husbands, the exes, the baby daddies — they’re not popular with viewers.
Some of these women’s lives are more obvious horror stories than others. But, in general, audiences agree that they could and should do better than the men that they have.
To be clear, Taylor and Dakota are exes.
We’re not just speaking about their conflict during Season 4, which is currently airing.
Taylor is the lead on The Bachelorette.
(That may say less about her popularity than it does about ABC and Hulu both being Disney properties.)
Apparently, the news blindsided Dakota.
When will filming resume?
Again, we have no idea what Taylor and Dakota are fighting about.
Given everything that viewers and social media followers know about Dakota … it seems likely that we’re all Team Taylor and will remain so.
We don’t know when they’ll patch things up — or, at least, cool down enough to film again.
In the meantime, production itself is in limbo. And so is the rest of the cast.
We’d say that we wish that these gals had picked better men. But would the show even exist if everyone were making good choices?

As expected, the 2026 Oscars featured plenty of memorable moments, including big wins for Michael B. Jordan, Jessie Buckley, and One Battle After Another.
But across social media, one of the most buzzed-about moments had nothing to do with the awards themselves.
The annual “in memoriam” segment was longer and more personal than usual, thanks to tributes to Rob Reiner, Diane Keaton, and Robert Redford from people who knew them best.
As you likely recall, Reiner and his wife were stabbed to death in their home in December of 2025.
As one of the most beloved figures in Hollywood history, the filmmaker naturally received a stirring tribute during last night’s ceremony.
Friend Billy Crystal noted that his career might not have happened were it not for Reiner, and several other stars — including Jerry O’Connell, John Cusack, and Mandy Patinkin — also took the stage to honor the late director.
But the tender moment was not without controversy.
For one thing, there was the usual criticism about which late stars were left out of the in memoriam segment.
James Van Der Beek, Eric Dane, Malcolm Jamal Warner, Robert Carradine, June Lockhart, Harold and Maude star Bud Cort, and Brigitte Bardot were among those who were left out.
Many also cited Gene Hackman, but he was honored at the previous year’s ceremony.
The Reiner tribute also generated controversy with regard to living stars who were not invited to participate.
Corey Feldman — who starred in Reiner’s Stand By Me, along with Cusack — took to social media to complain about his omission.
“I just want to briefly mention this Oscars thing! Yes, it’s true that I was not invited,” Feldman wrote on X (formerly Twitter) last week.
“I understand many believe it’s due to being outspoken about the abuse I suffered as a child and the campaign to silence me. However, this isn’t about me. It’s not my moment at all. It’s about the tragic loss of our friend Rob Reiner and his memory.”
Elsewhere in the segment, Barbra Streisand crooned a few bars of “The Way We Were” to honor the late Robert Redford, and Rachel McAdams recalled her favorite memories of Diane Keaton and Catherine O’Hara.
All-in-all, the in memoriam was a stirring tribute to some of the iconic talents that we lost in 2025 and the early months of 2026.
Sadly, such segments are usually limited to little more than five to ten minutes, meaning not every fallen star can be included.
The reasoning behind such decisions might not always be apparent to us, but we’re glad that so many icons were memorialized on Hollywood’s biggest night.
