Timothee Chalamet made headlines at the 97th Oscar Awards by making an appearance with girlfriend Kylie Jenner. The latter made the actor’s nomination moment special by switching seats with the movie star’s mom during the commercial break.

Chalamet received a nod in the category of Best Actor for his role as young Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. When the categories were announced on the stage, the mom of two took a seat at the back to let the mother and son have their moments of happiness.

At one point in the ceremony, Chalamet’s mom, Nicole Flender, and Jenner were snapped chatting too.

Meanwhile, the Wonka star did not win the prize, as ultimately the trophy went to Adrien Brody, who was in the race for his role in The Brutalist. Other actors who were nominated in the category included Sebastian Stan, Ralph Fiennes, and Colman Domingo.
