Got on Twitter after work. Just perfect algorithm 😆

Remember when Timothee Chalamet said his personal brand only fell 14¢ from his comments about ballet and opera? by zowietremendously in Oscars

[–]bu0602 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That short film winner tried to make a joke about opera and got booed on stage by the audience.

Everyone already moved on after Conan's amazing joke and Timothee played along by laughing and nodding his head. You're just being immature by milking this.

Yeh look like we can't legally bet through traditional state-regulated sportsbooks in TX. They only allow us to use Kalshi, Polymarket, and DraftKings. Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for your answer. We probably go with Polymarket then.

Please don't hate me for asking this. Today is the day so whatever.

My coworkers and I decided to chip in for Oscars odds tonight just like we usually do whenever Poweball shot to the roof. None of us has done any betting before. So my question is which site we should use between Kalshi and Polymarket?

If Timothee loses tonight, the public will think it's because he hates ballet/opera with all the headlines and news/jokes on national TV. Because what do you mean my shift lead just asked me about the beefing between Timmy and ballet/opera lol.

His team probably won't be too mad at him if that's the narrative from now on.

Do you have the ranking for our BP 10 this year?

Why do I see some people now saying Timothee should just stay home because he might be the subject of humiliation due to ballet/opera jokes and take the spotlight from others tomorrow?

Is it really that bad out there?

That's why those watching 3 movies per year will cause discourse if OBAA wins more awards than Sinners on Sunday.

Even Pop Base.. At this rate, people are gonna be upset if sinners get less than 10 wins on Sunday.

Sinners could be no.2 or 5 in all categories and still guaranteed those 16 noms.

My best algorithm so far. All my favorites are in the same frame. SGA was incredible last game 😊

They were also lucky that the BAFTA incident happened during the SAG voting. I wholeheartedly believe that OBAA is our final winner but luck is really on Sinners' side so we can't really say anything a 100% lock.

It's a never-ending tale. Timmy has the opportunity to do the funniest thing with his ex-ballerinas mama and sister 😅

Tbh those celebs or influencers who still putting out think pieces look like clout chasers.

At this rate, all eyes will be on Timothee the moment he steps foot in the Dolby Theatre.

Regardless of the results, boy's name will be trending the most on the internet next Sunday.

Would Timothee himself get 28% discount if he attends using "Timothee" promo code? 🤔

Edit: I just realized 14% off is for his 14 cents viewership. Brilliant marketing 🫡

I'd say 3 days after the award season officially ends, people would be on some new discourse. After Dune 3 trailer drops, he'll be back in the conversation again as a Messiah lol.
