Timothée Chalamet Celebrates Knicks’ Historic Win with a Sassy Oscars Jab
Last night was electric in New York City as the legendary New York Knicks clinched their first NBA Championship title in 53 years! Fans were buzzing, and among them was none other than Timothée Chalamet, who took the opportunity to throw some playful shade at the Oscars during the celebrations.
The Knicks secured their victory with a nail-biting score of 94-90 against the San Antonio Spurs, marking a momentous occasion for basketball fans everywhere. The arena at the Frost Bank Center was packed with celebrities, from Adam Sandler to Taylor Swift, but it was Chalamet’s exuberant reaction that caught everyone’s attention on social media.
“Way rather this than the Oscars,” Chalamet exclaimed in a clip that has since gone viral. With infectious enthusiasm, he added, “Come on, baby. The Knicks are champions, baby!” His excitement resonated with fans, showcasing his deep passion for the team.
While Chalamet is celebrated for his acting chops in major films like the Dune series and his recent portrayal of Willy Wonka, he’s still on the hunt for that elusive Oscar. Earlier this year, he left the 98th Academy Awards empty-handed, despite his film “Marty Supreme” receiving nine nominations.
Chalamet’s spirit seemed unshaken by the Oscar snub. In another video shared by ESPN, he was seen in the locker room, celebrating alongside Finals MVP Jalen Brunson and director Josh Safdie, shouting, “THEY DID IT!” as the team reveled in their victory.
As the celebrations continue, fans are eagerly anticipating Chalamet’s role as an older Paul Atreides in the upcoming “Dune: Part 3.” For now, though, he’s basking in the glory of the Knicks’ triumph and enjoying his moment as a proud fan.
