Timothée Chalamet – movie star and tabloid regular – had been the firm favourite to take home the Best Actor statue at this weekend’s Academy Awards. So why have the Hollywood star’s fortunes fallen so dramatically?
The press campaign for his movie Marty Supreme, as well as some ill-timed controversial comments about opera and ballet, have led to a backlash. Why has public opinion turned against him? And how do the big Hollywood studios go about influencing who wins what at the Oscars?
Niall is joined by Sky’s entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer in Tinsel Town and Paula Froelich, senior story producer and on-air talent for NewsNation.
