Oscar voters on Chalamet: The more they got to know him, "the less they liked him"

For months, Chalamet appeared to be the nominee most likely to clinch the coveted Best Actor award at the Oscars for his performance in “Marty Supreme.”

However, it was an emotional Michael B. Jordan who took home the award for his dual role on “Sinners.”

Insiders have now opened up about the reason why the 30-year-old actor walked away empty-handed, noting that his attitude was off-putting for the majority of the voters.

According to reports, Chalamet spoke to seven Academy voters in the buildup leading to the film’s biggest night, but only one voted in his favor.

“Timothée is incredibly talented,” a voter told Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop. “But he’s very difficult.”

“Being on set with him isn’t a positive experience,” another voter claimed. “He’s arrogant.”

It appears Chalamet left much to be desired during the campaign, as his alleged difficult reputation quickly spread amongst other voters.

“He tried to control the PR and marketing strategy,” an industry insider explained. “This is a 30-year-old actor telling 50- and 60-year-old professionals how to do their jobs.”

“The more voters got to know him, the less they liked him,” another source shared. “There’s no love lost for Timmy.”

Some industry experts tried to blame his relationship with Kylie Jenner, as reports earlier claimed he was trying to stay away from her, but an insider suggested that it had nothing to do with the actor’s Oscars loss.

“This had nothing to do with Kylie,” one voter said. “She’s actually more liked than he is.”

Meanwhile, Jordan’s reputation speaks for itself as he appears to be more level-headed and beloved in the industry.

“Michael B. Jordan is the opposite,” one voter told the reporter. “Kind, polite, respectful — and everyone loves working with him.”
