The tepid clapping Chalamet received compared to the rousing rounds of applause for Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael B Jordan showed just how low he\u2019d sunk in the opinion of his peers.<\/p>\n When Jordan was announced as the best actor for Sinners, Chalamet smiled wanly and tried to clap gamely as the crowd roared and eventually gave him a standing ovation.<\/p>\n Better luck next time, Chalamet!

The legendary ballerina Misty Copeland performed live tonight in a Sinners tribute, dancing to the film\u2019s Oscar-nominated song I Lied to You alongside Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq.<\/p>\n Copeland, who was convinced by Chalamet to wear a Marty Supreme jacket last year, was furious after the Oscar nominee blasted ballet and opera, telling Matthew McConaughey in February \u201cno one cares\u201d about the art forms. Three days ago Copeland addressed his comments on a panel, saying: \u201cThere\u2019s a reason that the opera and ballet have been around over 400 years. And I think that when you have access, you have the opportunity to be a part of something, it can change your life.\u201d<\/p>\n She also noted the irony that she helped market Chalamet\u2019s latest film, saying: \u201cFirst, I have to say that it\u2019s very interesting that he invited me to be a part of promoting Marty Supreme with respect to my art form.\u201d<\/p>\n After Copeland\u2019s performance, which also featured Eric Gales, Christone \u201cKingfish\u201d Ingram, Alice Smith, and legendary blues artist Buddy Guy rocking the stage, there was thunderous applause and a standing ovation.<\/p>\n Sadly the camera did not pan to Chalamet afterwards \u2014 just Leonardo DiCaprio.<\/p>\n O\u2019Brien gives casts and crews the floor Statuettes awaiting their winners<\/p>\n RICHARD HARBAUGH\/THE ACADEMY\/SHUTTERSTOCK<\/p>\n Again this year O\u2019Brien has decided to highlight the efforts of the performers, producers and behind the scenes people who ensure the show goes smoothly.<\/p>\n Spectacular rendition of Sinners song KEVIN WINTER\/GETTY IMAGES<\/p>\n Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq performed Sinners\u2018s I Lied to You on stage, with dancers and performers recreating the scene in which the song is introduced.<\/p>\n Short animation winner announced<\/p>\n Best animated short film goes to The Girl who Cried Pearls.<\/p>\n \u201cTonight we\u2019re celebrating real artists,\u201d the comedian and actor Will Arnett said before presenting the award.

The backlash from the Golden Globes \u2014 after Mark Ruffalo and Jean Smart both sounded off on ICE \u2014 was very severe. I\u2019ve heard people have been told to keep it apolitical. We\u2019ll see if there are any rule breakers.<\/p>\n Bridesmaids cast expected to reunite<\/p>\n The Bridesmaid\u2018s director Paul Feig said he was celebrating the film\u2019s 15-year anniversary tonight. The cast of the modern cult classic is said to be reuniting onstage.<\/p>\n \u201cYou got to get great people and have a great script,\u201d Feig said when asked what makes a good movie. \u201cAnd then you have to trust those people to let them do their thing. And you just kind of guide them and make sure they\u2019re good.\u201d<\/p>\n Please enable cookies and other technologies to view this content.

Paula writes\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n One of the biggest talking points of the night:<\/p>\n \u2022 Will best actor nominee Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet bring his mum \u2014 or Kylie Jenner \u2014 as his date?<\/p>\n \u2022 Will he even walk the red carpet after #BOG? (BalletOperaGate)<\/p>\n It almost doesn\u2019t matter if Chalamet wins or loses \u2014 the drama surrounding his thirsty bid for the Oscar this year is enough. If he wins for his role in Marty Supreme, expect a truly tepid applause. According to Polymarket, Chalamet was pegged to win until BOG. He\u2019s now 30 points behind the Sinners star Michael B Jordan who many now expect to take the gold statuette home. Polymarket puts Jordan\u2019s chances at 61 per cent. <\/p>\n Also pegged to win (according to Polymarket):<\/p>\n \u2022 Best picture: One Battle After Another (78 per cent) Host Conan O\u2019Brien arrives Conan O\u2019Brien with his wife Liza<\/p>\n MIKE COPPOLA\/GETTY IMAGES<\/p>\n Conan O\u2019Brien has arrived.
