'Jeopardy!' Just Threw Some Epic Shade At Timothée Chalamet Over His Claim 'No One Cares' About Opera Or Ballet
The show made a series of subtle social media digs at the actor by posting old clips from the show in which the category was "Ballet & Opera."
On Instagram, the gameshow posted the clip, full of clues about iconic ballet dancers like Vaslav Nijinsky and classic operas like Madame Butterfly, with the caption:
"NOBODY @ HIM"
And just in case there was confusion about who the "him" in question is, the game show added "#timotheechalamet" to the caption too. Savage.
Chalamet's off-the-cuff comments, smack in the middle of his Oscar campaign for Marty Supreme, a film about the thriving art of *checks notes* ping pong, seemed intended to speak to the ways the arts are struggling in today's world.
But they couldn't have been more poorly worded.
The comments came during an interview with fellow actor Matthew McConaughey as part of a Variety & CNN town hall at the University of Austin, in which Chalamet said:
“I admire people, and I’ve done it myself, who go on a talk show and say, ‘Hey, we’ve got to keep movie theaters alive, we’ve gotta keep this genre alive.'"
“I don’t want to be working in ballet or opera or things where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore.’"
Seeming to realize what he'd just done, Chalamet quickly added:
"All respect to all the ballet and opera people out there."
The optics—gazillionaire Oscar nominee (who's dating a billionaire, no less) deriding art forms as something "no one cares about"—could not possibly have been worse.
On YouTube, Jeopardy! was even more pointed in its criticism, calling the actor out by name.

Its caption read:
“Timothée Hates to See this Category Coming 👀”
On social media, people couldn't stop laughing about Jeopardy!'s Chalamet shade.
The blowback over Chalamet's comments hasn't seemed to slow down, especially after several opera and ballet companies across the country put out electrifying videos referencing his comments that highlight not only how much work goes into their art, but how beloved it is by their audiences.
Many have speculated that Chalamet's comments may have killed his Marty Supreme Oscar campaign for Best Actor.
That's unlikely to happen, as Oscar voting closed March 5, before the virality of his comments really hit its fever pitch. Chalamet is still considered the Best Actor frontrunner.

New Study Finds Alarmingly High Percentage Of Gen Z Men Think Women Should Be Submissive
And then they watched women's rights come under attack and get rolled back all while self proclaimed "alpha males," "incels," and "trad wives" appear in the global social media feeds.
The influence of such exposure is being seen in a new study published by King’s College of London, unveiled during March for International Women's Day. Adults from 29 countries were surveyed.
One key finding showed:
"Relative to other groups, Generation Z men are the most likely to agree with traditional ideas about not only women’s roles (such as that a wife should always obey her husband), but also men’s (such as that young men should try to be physically tough, even if not naturally big)."
King's College defined the generations in their study as:
- Baby Boomer 1945-1965
- Gen X 1966-1979
- Millennials 1980-1995
- Gen Z born 1996-2012 (only those 18+ were surveyed)
The survey found almost one-third (31%) of Gen Z men (age 18-30) believe that a wife should always obey her husband. A full third (33%) said a husband should have the final say over all big decisions in a marriage.
Meanwhile Baby Boomer men (age 61-81) were far more liberal in their thinking than their younger counterparts. Less than one sixth (13%) believe wives need to obey their husbands and less than one fifth (17%) believe husbands deserve the final say.
Ironically, Baby Boomers experienced the "good old days" that Gen Z men seem to want, before women in most countries surveyed were allowed to own property, get loans, open lines of credit, get a divorce, or make decisions about their own reproductive healthcare without the cosigning or permission of their fathers or husbands.
Almost a quarter of Gen Z men (24%) believe a woman shouldn't appear too independent or self-sufficient and over half believe men are expected to do too much to ensure equality for women. Those numbers compare to only 12% and 45% of Boomer men, respectively.
Over one fifth (21%) of Gen Z men also agreed a man taking an active role in child care made him less masculine. Less than one twelth (8%) of Boomer men agreed.
Gen Z women haven't swallowed the Kool-aid to the extent of their male counterparts, but their views were still more conservative than Baby Boomer women—18% of Gen Z believe a wife should always obey her husband while only 6% of Boomer women feel that way.

Professor Heejung Chung, Director of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s Business School of King’s College of London said:
"It is deeply concerning to see traditional gender norms persisting today, and more troubling still that many people appear to be pressured by social expectations that do not actually reflect what most of us believe."
The annual study was conducted by Ipsos in the United Kingdom and the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s Business School for the other 28 countries.
Countries included were:
