Internet reacts to Marty Supreme loss

Reacting to the loss, netizens had divided opinions.

A user took to X, formerly Twitter and simply wrote, “Deserved.”

“Maybe this guy needs to learn that there’s more to winning an Oscar than starring pretentious films and doing one or two constipated expressions passing as acting,” added another.

One said, “Cancel culture cost him everything, Hollywood celebs crying over his opinion about ballet sucking or being boring (which btw it does, i bet none of them watch an entire show) and this was the result. they sabotaged him so the POC categories could win. Wokeism tried to creep a slam dunk, but thankfully ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER saved the day.”

Another one added, “It shouldn’t have won or be nominated for any thing Respect to Timothee but the way Marty Supreme was push on us like it was a good movie is exactly everything that is wrong with Hollywood.”

Someone else shared, “Conspiracy theorists would say the controversy on the ballet speech was a factor. But the movie is really all hype and less substance.”

Yet another argued, “He still has the nominations just didn’t win the award. He won them all last year tho.” “Awards season can be brutal. Marty Supreme showed up to the Academy Awards with nominations and left empty-handed. Hollywood’s favorite tradition: hype first, heartbreak later,” also wrote a fan.

What did Timothée Chalamet say

Chalamet landed in a controversy after dismissing opera and ballet as art forms that “no one cares about anymore.”

The actor was roasted at the Oscars for the same.

"Security is extremely tight tonight," host Conan O'Brien said in his monologue. “I'm told there's concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities,” he added.

The remarks continued at the ceremony when Alexandre Singh, one of the directors of the best live action short winner Two People Exchanging Saliva, took a dig at Chalamet in his speech. “We believe that art can change people's souls. Maybe it takes 10 year's time, but we can change society through art, through creativity, through theater and ballet,” Singh said.

Reports claim that Chalamet walked the red carpet alone. He was later joined by Kylie Jenner in a stunning red dress.
