Austin Butler and Paul Mescal’s Oscar nominations mean Timothée Chalamet’s days as Hollywood’s wunderkind are over

You know he’s shaking and crying right now.

I honestly would fire my agent and publicists.

Barry Keoghan too.

Make no mistake they are panicking over at Team Chalamet Headquarters right now. His PR's narrative has been spoiled now that we know what happens when he doesn't have a franchise or genuine stars in the cast to help him out. The movie flopped hard and he didn't even get in at the Indie Spirit awards where he had won before. They can say he was borderline supporting all they want but what other high profile male actor was above him in that movie?

If Butler wins, he'll have to be put on suicide watch.

I don’t even dislike Timothee but I’m glad he has competition in the young white male actor department. He and his stans needed to be taken down a peg.

Oh FFS, no one in the Timoverse could possibly have expected any award nominations from his having starred in that cannibal POS. I'm one of Timmy's biggest defenders, and there is no way even I am going to see it. He did it because he feels obligated to Luca. That's all. Get off his back.

Buh bye Mouseboy.

Throw that fugly twink in the trash. Paul Mescal is a real man.

R9: Good luck with his online ad career for AppleTV+ and genderless clothing.

Maybe everyone in Hollywood will stop wearing non-binary clothes to events now they know it doesn't work. Thank you, Timmy, you talentless fuck!

Not surprised so many of you prefer noted homophobic bully Paul Mescal (google it).

He's still coming to terms with getting snubbed for Beautiful Boy.

r7 So that's the fangirl story is it? A debt to Luca? So why did he demand a producer credit? He knew it would suck, but wanted people to think he was even more involved in the production than just as an actor?

Given he had a crying fit over his scenes being cut from Interstellar, you can just imagine his reaction now

R14: He really thought it had a chance at a best picture nom. He can claim that producer credit all he wants but who the fuck is he kidding? As a producer, he just raised some money and then went on vacation.

LOL, Austin "Phony" Butler is worse than Timothee. Mescal seems like a decent actor, though

R 4 R16 Some of us have no idea what movie you're talking about. I'm assuming you guys mean Bones And All but I don't follow TC's career very closely.

R4, R16

At least Austin isn’t a nepo baby like Timothee.

Paul Mescal is not a nepo baby neither . Glad Austin and Paul got nominations

If Butler wins, [bold]I'll[/bold] have to be put on suicide watch.

The Wonka producers must be shitting their pants. Supposedly he does his own singing? Oh God.

I saw a Brendan video yesterday with him instructing people the correct pronunciation of certain words. That’s cool, right?

Timothee needs to strip of and star in a highly sexually charged erotic thriller. Own his appeal and his audience base.

Timothée to remake Basic Instinct!

I think they’re both very attractive. I know he’s not really liked here, but I find Tim-o-tay a good actor, better than Butler.

It will be a total joke if Butler wins but it will be worth it just to watch Chalamet's public meltdown when he has to do press with him for Dune 2. Also, if Mescal in Gladiator 2 ever sees the light of day that will really push him over the edge.

r28 Was Timothee after a role in Gladiator?

It was that Red Carpet red monstrosity.

Glaaaaaaaadiator!

Not even a lone screenplay nomination for his flop film and he was a "producer" on it.

Total douchebag. Sunglasses even at night.

Of course he had to get the spotlight back after Butler and Mescal’s nominations.

R5….,why would Butler be on suicide watch if he wins the Oscar?

Aftersun broke me. Glad Mescal was recognized for his performance.

Are comments being removed? I don't have anyone on ignore

R37 here. Apparently I did put some posters on ignore.

So how do I un-ignore them?

I liked Bones and All, and thought Timothée was great in it. 🤷🏻

Who cares?

r38 Go to Ignored at the top and you can unignore there. Unless I'm one of the people you ignored, in which case you won't see this.

Thank you, r41! 👍

He’s getting nervous. After the Madonna biopic was killed this week, here he is acting like the Bob Dylan film is still happening.

Timmy and Co. are going to learn that Dylan isn't a theatrical draw.

Dear god, Elvis is unwatchable. Did Elvis really talk like that in his day to day life? I couldn’t have stood listening to that for more than 20 seconds. Insufferable.

Why are people like R7 so invested in a 'movie star'? I don't get it. Curious to know R7's age, seeing as they describe themselves as 'Timmy's biggest defender'.

R45, I'll bet there might be one or two examples on YouTube of the real Elvis speaking. Just a hunch.

You do know he was from the South, right?

Here he is talking about Austin Butler and Masters of Air.

He did the guitar photo op after Cabo and again with his dad in 2021.

Barry Keoghan is the real deal. He even seemed to elevate that Marvel “Eternals” film.

Wonka seems doomed.

OMG he really is having a meltdown!

Beautiful to watch!

“PLEEEEEEEASE LOVE ME!”

Not too sure about Austin Butler having much success in the future, but Paul Mescal is a great actor. Timmy should be scared of him.

Does anyone really think Butler is going to have a post-Elvis career?

Yes, he’s tall, white and conventionally attractive.

R54, Considering that Baz and Hanx (yes) are besotted, with Spielberg ("MotA") also fond, plus he did fine work for QT in "OUaTiH"; and given that he's a networker extraordinaire (a GG shout-out to Brad, not the only one, but still!)---I think Austin is destined for, if not greatness, at least a steady career for some decades. But I side with greatness.

With three projects coming out this year---the abovementioned true WW II story "Masters of the Air," as advertised for Apple+ by Timmy, where AB is the lead character; "Dune: Part 2," as the main antagonist Feyd-Rautha to Chalamet's hero Paul; and "Bikeriders," where he plays a motorcycle club/gang member along with Tom Hardy---Austin will have ample opportunity to answer your question.

But then, if his take on "Linda Richman" on SNL didn't convince you...!

R56: Does Austin give killer blowjobs or what?

R52: Please fuck me!

R57, If you are asking seriously: His notable lips notwithstanding, I would think AB is more of an "If you really want to" oral recipient of the Thirsty Casting Couch, LLC.

Timothee should do a Broadway show to get his lost mojo back.

But r60, why the Great White Way, when he's going to be his own singing Great White "Wonka"! THIS is being designed as his 2024 BA Oscar. IMO.

The competition:

R55 have you looked at Austin's upcoming films?

Dune: Part Two, Masters of the Air a TV Mini Series and The Bikeriders a crime film which follows the rise of a Midwestern motorcycle club through the lives of its members.

Yes, snooze all you want, r62.

But Tom Hardy, Florence Pugh, Jodi Comer, Michael Shannon, Barry Keoghan, Timothee Chalamet, Christopher Walken, plus directors Denis Villeneuve, Cary Fukunaga, and Jeff Nichols aren't chopped liver as colleagues go. Nor are they probably viewing their respective 2023 works as cures for insomnia.

This must be devastating for Timmy. To go from the cover of Time to commercials. Devastating.

[Quote]. Nor are they probably viewing their respective 2023 works as cures for insomnia.

I'm sure THEY'RE not but I am. Florence Pugh!? Jodi Comer!?

Why is his name spelled Timothee rather than Timothy? Did his parents name him that or is it a case of Hyacinth Bucket/BOUQUET?

R65, Jodi Comer:

I'm sorry, r65; I meant to write "Academy Award-nominated Florence Pugh":

R66, Papa Chalamet is French.

Timmy's French is really bad. I'm half-French and my French isn't very good but his is completely woeful.

R70: What is he good at?

yeah, who didn't see the 4th version of Little Women R68?

[Quote]But Tom Hardy, Florence Pugh, Jodi Comer, Michael Shannon, Barry Keoghan, Timothee . . .R63

BTW R68 it's Jodie not Jodi

Thanks ever so, r73. I don't know what I was thinking.

I guess he'll dropping more of this Apple shit practically every other day until the Oscars. After which Butler and Mescal won't be in the spotlight.

DL: Home of the Nostradamus Society.

An Austin Butler and Paul Mescal sandwich would be a fine thing. Timmy, not so much, he could go make the tea.

hey op, is the guy in the pic an indian

Butler won the BAFTA over Farrell and Fraser. He's looking good for Oscar.

It will be worth it if Butler wins the Oscar simply to see the studio make his face equal size on the Dune poster

DUNE 2 starring Oscar Winner AUSTIN BUTLER, Emmy Winner ZENDAYA and a skinny androgyne named Timothee

Bitch please, TimoTay is so frail he couldn't even hold the Oscar if someone handed it to him.

R80: It will be worth if they pair him up with TimoTay in junket interviews and they ask Butler how has life changed since winning the Oscar!

Malek won for playing Freddie Mercury, Butler could very well win for playing Elvis Presley, and Bob Dylan isn’t even close to getting made.

Austin and Timothée doing publicity for Dune 2

R33 He looks like a woman.

R86: An ugly woman.

R87 An ugly, middle-aged woman.

[quote]Austin "Phony" Butler is worse than Timothee.

You know the 'Skipper' version of the Ken Doll, Kevin? That's what Austin Butler is to me.

[quote]It will be a total joke if Butler wins but it will be worth it just to watch Chalamet's public meltdown when he has to do press with him for Dune 2.

It will be like Armie's meltdown on the CMBYN press tour. A full-circle moment.

r33 OMG he looks so stupid!

r43 Not trying hard at all!

I think it's a pretty close race between Colin Farrell and Brendan Fraser. If there is a such thing as a split vote, Butler has a chance. I think they'll give it to CF.

Who gave the best performance, though?

[quote] Who gave the best performance, though?

That does not matter!

Someone should ask Timothée if she's ok.

I'm not.

R97: What's the matter Timmy?

r98 My movie flopped and everyone can see that I am all smoke and mirrors.

The best performances were given by CF and BF.

His face is beginning to show some aging in a peculiar way. Is it possible that he’s already had some surgery?

It’s not that he looks like he’s aged ten years in the span of five, but any anything twink-ish has completely drained out of his appearance and persona. He barely meets the minimum of what might be called attractive.

I thought maybe he had some work done on his chin and jaw. He certainly can afford it now. If he’s had anything done, it is very subtle. His face is devoid of any masculinity at this point.

I would love to read an actual explanation of why r100 thinks so, in a serious comparison to AB, emphasis on serious. I often think that some critics haven't seen "Elvis."

It's very Trumpian with many: If your guy wins, it was legit and the award has value. If your fave loses, it was rigged, stolen, and anyway meaningless.

If he's had work done it is very minor but I don't think he's had anything done yet. His twink days are over that's for sure.
