Timothée Chalamet threw shade at the Oscars while celebrating the New York Knicks’ NBA championship.

On Saturday night, the “Dune” actor was on the court taking photos of the Knicks players with his phone at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio.

“Way rather this than the Oscars,” he said in a video obtained by ESPN.

“C’mon, baby! Knicks are champions, baby!” Chalamet, who sat courtside for the NBA Finals Game 5 sans girlfriend Kylie Jenner, added.

The Oscar nominee, 30, was a prominent fixture at the NBA playoffs 2026, celebrating the Knicks at every step of the way until they won the championship.

Chalamet even celebrated with the team — who won their first NBA championship in 53 years — joining the athletes’ post-game locker room champagne shower and holding up a copy of The New York Post.

The “Wonka” star’s frustrations about the Academy come three months after he lost the best actor award to Michael B. Jordan for his role in “Sinners.”

One Hollywood awards expert told Page Six that Chalamet lost because of his “arrogant” attitude that “fumbled the ball on the five-yard line.”

“His campaign for ‘Marty Supreme’ started it — the arrogance of his outfits, befitting a clown more than an Oscar winner. The lengths he will go for hype … He reeks of Oscar desperation,” one Hollywood insider told us.

Sources also claimed that Chalamet’s gonzo quest for “greatness” and to create what he’s called “top-level s–t” rubbed some people the wrong way.

The “A Complete Unknown” actor faced backlash when he slammed the ballet and opera world during a CNN town hall event in February.

Chalamet confessed that he didn’t “want to be working in ballet or opera where it’s like, ‘Hey! Keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore.”

Several stars slammed the actor’s stance, including retired ballet star Misty Copeland, who chastised Chalamet for “comparing” his craft to other art forms.

“He wouldn’t be an actor and have the opportunities he has as a movie star if it weren’t for opera and ballet and their relevance in that medium,” Copeland, 43, said.

“So all of these mediums have a space,” she added.
