After spending Sunday night being the butt of Oscar jokes and losing the best actor race, Timothée Chalamet — accompanied by girlfriend Kylie Jenner — was among the first to leave Hollywood’s Dolby Theater, spies told Page Six.

Hand in hand, they made a beeline across the lobby to a VIP elevator that whisks stars upstairs to the Governors Ball. The couple was closely trailed by Chalamet’s “Marty Supreme” co-star Gwyneth Paltrow after their movie was shut out at the awards show.

“They were out of there,” one onlooker told us of Chalamet and Jenner, who were soon seen looking loved up at the Vanity Fair bash.

During the show, Chalamet, 30 — who lost the little gold man to “Sinners” star Michael B. Jordan, as Page Six predicted — was subjected to an on-air torrent of jibes about his recent comments that no one cares about ballet and opera.

“Security is extremely tight tonight,” host Conan O’Brien said during his opener. “I’m told there’s concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities.”

To his credit, Chalamet was seen laughing as the host added: “They’re just mad you left out jazz!”

But it is now the third Oscar nomination that Chalamet has lost (including “Call Me By Your Name” in 2018 and “A Complete Unknown” in 2025) — despite belief that he was the frontrunner for much of this awards season, after winning Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice trophies.

One well-placed film-industry source told Page Six how, when a big project flops, “everyone [involved] does a post mortem … he should definitely have that moment: ‘I didn’t get the result I wanted, what could have been the reason?'”

A Hollywood insider previously told Page Six that a backlash brewed against Chalamet because of his perceived “arrogance,” saying “he reeks of Oscar desperation.”

While some in Hollywood may admire Chalamet’s gonzo promotional tactics for “Marty Supreme” and “A Complete Unknown,” not enough of them are Academy voters — many of whom, sources said, may have been turned off by his weird mix of self-serious boasts about greatness and the odd Gen Z humor that fueled his wacky marketing stunts.

“Three times [losing] at the rodeo, you would hope he has some self-reflection,” the industry source said.

During the media and marketing campaign for “Marty Supreme,” Chalamet had taken on the guise of his cocky character — but pivoted to be more self-reflective once he was nominated for an Oscar.

So the loss came as almost a scolding from his Hollywood peers.

“This is supposed to be the best performance, not a popularity contest,” said another Tinseltown insider. “Arguably, Timothée’s performance as Marty was a better acting performance than Michael B. Jordan … but [Jordan is] a nice guy, and his heartfelt speech was great.”

But the industry source said of Chalamet, “I don’t think he regrets how he marketed the film, he’s always been excited by how well it does at the box office. He sent young people back to the box office to watch movies, and he’s proud of that.”

Debra Birnbaum, editor-in-chief of awards tracking website Gold Derby, predicts we may see a more low-key Chalamet promoting his next big movies — including, reportedly, an in-development “Wonka” sequel.

“Next year he’ll be campaigning for ‘Dune: Part Three,’ which is more of an ensemble anyway — and he’ll likely follow a ‘less is more” strategy,'” Birnbaum told Page Six. “He has a long career ahead of him, and plenty of time to achieve the path to greatness. The academy famously makes it actors wait — so a little patience will go a long way.”
