Chalamet: Knicks Title Over Oscar Glory!
14 Jun
Summary
- Timothée Chalamet prioritizes a Knicks championship over an Oscar.
- He celebrated courtside and in the locker room with the Knicks.
- Chalamet has received three best actor Oscar nominations.
Timothée Chalamet expressed a strong preference for a New York Knicks championship over an Academy Award. Chalamet, a notable courtside attendee during the NBA Finals, stated his desire for a Knicks title emphatically. He was present at the Frost Bank Center when the Knicks secured the NBA championship, defeating the San Antonio Spurs in a 4-1 series.
Following the victory, Chalamet joined the Knicks in their locker room celebration. In a video capturing the festivities, he humorously remarked that he was not an athlete and typically used a stunt double for such occasions, implying he didn't deserve the protective goggles often worn during champagne showers. Chalamet has earned three Oscar nominations for best actor, for "Call Me by Your Name" in 2018, "A Complete Unknown" in 2025, and "Marty Supreme" in 2026. The Knicks, meanwhile, ended a 53-year championship drought, their last win being in 1973 against the Los Angeles Lakers.
