It wasn't a great Oscar night to be Timothée Chalamet.
The "Marty Supreme" star, who has long been blunt about his desire to win an Oscar, again came up short in the best actor race at the end of a ceremony in which he was mocked multiple times for his controversial comments about ballet and opera.
"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."
Chalamet had drawn criticism from the arts community in recent weeks for saying "no one cares" about ballet and opera during a televised sit-down with Matthew McConaughey.
The remarks came up a second time in the Oscars telecast when Alexandre Singh, one of the directors of the best live action short winner "Two People Exchanging Saliva," remarked 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."
