Είχε κλεισει ήδη η ψηφοφορία για τα oscar όταν έκανε αυτές τις δηλώσεις, οπότε δεν επηρέασε το αποτέλεσμα.
Και όμως δεν είχε κλείσει:
The timeline of events actually shows that the controversy hit at the absolute worst possible moment for his Oscar campaign.
Here is exactly how the dates lined up:
The 2026 Oscar Voting Window
For the recent 98th Academy Awards, the Academy's official final voting period to determine the winners was strictly scheduled for:
* Voting Opened: Thursday, February 26, 2026
* Voting Closed: Thursday, March 5, 2026
The Timing of the Controversy
Chalamet’s remarks were made during a Variety town hall conversation with Matthew McConaughey. The quotes and video clips began heavily circulating and going viral online on February 24, 2026.
This means the backlash didn't happen after the votes were locked in. Instead, the controversy exploded just 48 hours before the final voting window opened and dominated the entertainment news cycle for the exact week that Academy members were actively filling out their ballots.
Why It Was a "Perfect Storm"
While Chalamet had already won precursor awards earlier in the season (such as his Golden Globe win in January for Marty Supreme), the Oscars are voted on much later.
In the world of Oscar campaigning, a scandal hitting in late February is considered a late-breaking PR disaster. Because the ballet and opera comments were so fresh, and prominent industry figures were actively speaking out against him right as voting commenced, awards analysts widely agree that this specific timing was the fatal blow that allowed Michael B. Jordan to overtake him and win the Best Actor trophy on March 15.
