Timothée Chalamet was seen in an affectionate mood with Kylie Jenner at the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday, following his loss in the Best Actor category. The 30-year-old actor, nominated for his role in 'Marty Supreme', was defeated by Michael B. Jordan for 'Sinners', a category that also included Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, and Wagner Moura.
At the afterparty held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Chalamet was photographed kissing Jenner on the cheek and keeping his hand on her waist. The couple, who have been dating for three years, appeared to put the disappointment behind them as they enjoyed the evening. Chalamet wore a white linen suit, while Jenner opted for a black cut-out dress with feather trim.
Chalamet had been considered a frontrunner after winning Best Actor at the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards, but the momentum shifted when Jordan won at the Actor Awards earlier this month. The actor's loss came amid controversy over comments he made about ballet and opera, which he described as things 'no one cares about anymore'. The remark drew criticism from the creative community, including director Steven Spielberg.
Oscars host Conan O'Brien referenced the controversy during the ceremony, joking about security concerns from the opera and ballet communities. Chalamet was seen applauding politely when Jordan's name was announced, mouthing 'yay' as the winner embraced his mother.
