​Travis Scott sparked online speculation after sharing a post following the Academy Awards that some fans believed was aimed at Timothée Chalamet, who lost the Best Actor award to Michael B. Jordan.

The moment added to an already eventful night for Chalamet, which also included jokes from host Conan O’Brien and renewed debate over the actor’s past comments about opera and ballet.

The resurfaced remarks drew criticism from figures in the classical arts community, who defended the cultural relevance of the art forms while slamming Timothée Chalamet.

Travis Scott seemingly took a subtle jab at his ex-partner’s current boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet.

The moment came after the Academy Awards, where Chalamet, 30, was nominated for Best Actor but ultimately lost the award to Michael B. Jordan. Jordan, 39, appeared visibly emotional as he accepted the honor for his dual performance in the film “Sinners.”

Shortly after the ceremony, Scott, 34, posted a photo to his Instagram Stories showing Jordan wiping away tears during his acceptance speech.

Although the rapper did not include a caption, the post quickly sparked debate online, with some fans suggesting it was less about celebrating Jordan’s win and more about highlighting Chalamet’s loss.

Scott shares two children with Jenner: Stormi, eight, and Aire, four. The pair was in an on-and-off relationship beginning in 2017 before separating a few years later. Jenner then later began dating Chalamet.

Fans have previously accused Scott of referencing the actor in his music. On his track “Meltdown,” Scott appeared to allude to Chalamet’s role in “Wonka,” leading some listeners to interpret the lyrics as a subtle dig.

After the Instagram post circulated, users on platforms like X and Reddit weighed in with mixed reactions. Some found the move amusing, calling it “iconic,” while others criticized the rapper as being unnecessarily petty.

One commenter joked that Scott seemed unusually invested in the Oscars, while another argued the rapper should move on instead of targeting the man dating the mother of his children.

Others chimed in with remarks such as, “He’s so happy Timmy didn’t win,” and, “Last year he wanted Adrien Brody over Timmy, this year he’s supporting MBJ. Travis don’t f-ck with Timmy confirmed.”

Despite the speculation, the night could have led to an awkward encounter as Scott later attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where Jenner and Chalamet were also present and reportedly appeared affectionate throughout the e  

​The 98th Academy Awards happened on March 15, with Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” scoring big, including his win for Best Director. Following his victory, the veteran filmmaker responded to criticism of the film’s portrayal of black women, particularly regarding Teyana Taylor and her role as Perfidia Beverly Hills.

Warner Bros. released Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” in September 2025. It starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Chase Infiniti, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, and Taylor. Notably, she received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress and won the Golden Globe in the same category.

Regarding the criticism, many moviegoers felt her character was overly sexualized and portrayed black women in a negative light, given some of her actions in the film. Anderson responded in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter after the Oscars.

He began, “I know a little bit about that critique. I know that Teyana has talked about it a lot. I know that we have the portrayal of many different characters, in particular, her character, who is so flawed and unfortunately makes decisions that are detrimental to the revolution that she is trying to fight.”

Anderson continued his response to critics of Taylor’s role in “One Battle After Another,” saying, “It’s complicated. We always knew we were trying to make something complicated. We knew we weren’t making something that was heroic.”

After that, the acclaimed director began discussing some of the obstacles Taylor’s character endured that may have shaped her into who she was. Specifically, he highlighted the film’s discussion of postpartum depression and some of her other unresolved issues.

He also stated that part of the reasoning for her character was to set up the fictional next generation and to show how Infinity’s character in the movie copes with and “manages” the life she was given.

Though criticism of Taylor’s character in “One Battle After Another” has been around since the film’s release, there are just as many fans who don’t see the role as problematic. This remains true after Anderson’s comments.

One person said on X, “Are the white characters portrayed any better in this film? DiCaprio’s character is a washed-up stoner, and Penn’s character is a creepy sociopath. Every character in this film is flawed, even the black characters.”

Someone responded to that comment, writing, “It’s the sexual exploitation of her character and how black women are often ONLY seen as sex objects.” After that, a different fan highlighted that there are other black women in “One Battle After Another,” like Hall, for example, who  

​The sparks many suspected were flying between Alix Earle and Tom Brady appear to be over!

Alix Earle and Tom Brady have been sparking relationship speculations for months since they were spotted together on multiple occasions. The former athlete has also sparked romance rumors with other women.

Earle attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party at LACMA on Sunday, March 15, turning heads in a red-beaded gown that flaunted her toned figure. She paused for an interview with ET, where she seemingly confirmed the lack of romantic ties to Brady.

When asked whom she would like to sneak a selfie with at the event, Earle replied: “Honestly, no one. I’m just like, maybe I’ll get someone’s number or something? I could meet someone.” She also agreed when the interviewer said people needed to put down their phones and let her have some fun.

Although she did not mention Brady by name, Earle’s response implied she had no ties to the athlete or any other man at the moment. Sources previously echoed similar sentiments, claiming Earle and Brady were never in a serious relationship but simply enjoying each other’s company.

News of Earle and Brady’s relationship came via an insider who told US Weekly that the pair “have never been serious and their relationship has always been casual.” They claimed Earle and Brady had a “‘I’ll see you when I see you’ vibe” rather than people interested in commitment.

The insider alleged that their sighting at the exclusive New York club was not a planned date, noting Earle had visited the spot with her friends. The insider stressed that she “mainly hung out with her friend group” before she eventually crossed paths with Brady.

Even after bumping into each other, Earle and Brady “weren’t together the entire night” and only hung out at one point. The insider added that Earle was focused on having fun and doing her own thing, “and is not worried about if Tom is seeing other people or the nature of their relationship.”

​Hollywood’s biggest night delivered a career-defining moment for Michael B. Jordan. The actor secured his first-ever win at the Academy Awards, taking home Best Actor for his performance in the supernatural thriller “Sinners.”

Instead of heading to an exclusive Hollywood party or a luxury restaurant, the star made an unexpected stop that quickly caught fans’ attention. 

Still dressed in his formal wear and carrying his golden statue, Jordan was spotted pulling up to one of California’s fast-food favorites, In-N-Out, to show off his trophy.

Michael B. Jordan had plenty of options after taking home his first Academy Award, but the actor chose a celebration that was far more relatable than extravagant. 

Shortly after leaving the ceremony and the usual string of after-parties, Jordan stopped at In-N-Out Burger. A viral video shared on X showed the “Creed” actor in his black suit, holding his Oscar.

Jordan stood in front of the counter as he placed his order for a burger and fries. Beaming with excitement, numerous workers from the establishment came out to catch a glimpse of the actor.

Other customers in the restaurant also couldn’t take their eyes of Jordan, as they had their cameras out. At some point in the clip, the actor, overwhelmed with emotions, couldn’t hold back his smile. 

He posed for pictures, signed autographs for the excited workers, before expressing appreciation for the show of love.

Shortly after the video was shared, many fans trooped to the comments section to air their thoughts. 

Some users praised Michael B. Jordan for keeping his celebration simple and relatable.

“Michael B. Jordan keeping it real at In-N-Out with his Oscar? That’s how you celebrate a win. Humble, relatable, and inspiring at the same time!” one person commented.

Another fan wrote, “Not gonna lie, that’s a pretty wholesome sight…Big win, golden statue in hand, but still keeping it simple with burgers and good vibes. Moments like that make the victory feel even more real.”

A third user added, “A true champ move! Celebrating an Oscar win with an In-N-Out burger is as legendary as his performance in Sinners.”

​In the aftermath of Michael B. Jordan’s triumphant night at the Academy Awards, an old clip has resurfaced showing him expressing gratitude for a much less glamorous accolade.

In the video, the actor is asked about a nomination for an award he had actually already lost.

Jordan’s response demonstrated the same sense of grace and humility that fans have come to associate with him in the years since.

At the time, the California-born star was appearing on the ABC soap opera “All My Children.”

During the same interview, he also spoke about replacing the actor who had originally played the role… his future friend, the late Chadwick Boseman.

In “All My Children,” Jordan portrayed the character Reggie Montgomery for four years between 2003 and 2006.

“The Wire” star impressed viewers in the role and earned three consecutive nominations for Outstanding Actor in a Daytime Drama Series at the NAACP Image Awards.

Although he never took home the trophy, the nominations highlighted just how well Jordan was doing in his breakout television role.

It was also the first time that he had ever been nominated for a major award.

Speaking to Lisa Rinna and Ty Treadway on “Soap Talk” in the resurfaced clip, Jordan explained his feelings about that early achievement.

“I didn’t win, but being nominated was honor enough,” he said.

When Jordan first auditioned for “All My Children” after his stint on “The Wire,” he initially missed out on the role of Reggie.

Instead, ABC cast his future friend and “Black Panther” co-star Boseman in the part.

The Howard University alum did not last on the show, however. He reportedly fell out with producers over what he perceived as racial stereotyping of the character and was replaced by Jordan.

Funnily enough, the future Oscar winner couldn’t actually remember Boseman’s name during his cameo on “Soap Talk.”

“I came in for my audition, and I didn’t get it at first,” Jordan recalled. “Reggie was played by… I can’t remember what the guy’s name was… only for like two shows. Then they called me for another read-through, and I got it. So, I guess it was meant to be.”
