Timothée Chalamet is still stung by his Oscar loss while New York cheers

The star of "Sinners" called out the Academy during the Knicks' win party three months after losing to Michael B. Jordan.

Even when you are at the top of the world, a single "no" can still burn. It shows that fame and money do not always heal a bruised ego.

WHAT HAPPENED

Timothée Chalamet was in the middle of the New York City streets this week. He was there to cheer for the Knicks after their big NBA win.

But the actor had more than basketball on his mind. He told people he is still upset about the Oscars.

He lost the Best Actor award three months ago. He thinks his work in the movie "Sinners" deserved the win.

WHAT THE EVIDENCE SHOWS

Chalamet lost the trophy 3 months ago.

• Michael B. Jordan won the award instead.
• "Sinners" is a huge hit on streaming sites right now.
• The Knicks just won their first title in decades.
• Chalamet was seen partying with fans in the street.

THE BIGGER QUESTION

Why do we care so much about gold statues? Chalamet is one of the most famous people on earth.

He has millions of fans and plenty of money. We should ask why stars still need a group of voters to tell them they are good enough.

THE OTHER SIDE

The people who vote for the Oscars say they pick the best acting of the year. Michael B. Jordan gave a great performance that many people loved.

This argument is strong because art is about what people like. You cannot please everyone.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW

More people are watching "Sinners" today because of these comments. His anger is actually helping the movie stay popular.

Regular fans might see him as more human because he shows his true feelings. It proves that even big stars get their feelings hurt.

WHAT WE STILL DON'T KNOW

Did he mean to say this or was he just caught up in the party?

• Will the Academy hold a grudge against him next year?
• What does Michael B. Jordan think about these comments?
