Timothée Chalamet Kylie Jenner 2026 Critics' Choice 'BBL' Hand Placement Sparks Viral Roast

Timothée Chalamet's big night didn't just end with a trophy; it ended with a viral meme. On January 4, 2026, at the Critics' Choice Awards, the 30-year-old actor won Best Actor, but the internet can't stop talking about his awkward hand placement on girlfriend Kylie Jenner's backside.

The Timothée Chalamet Kylie Jenner 2026 Award Show Moment

As Chalamet's name was announced for his role in Marty Supreme, cameras caught him leaning on Kylie Jenner to stand up. Sharp-eyed fans on Reddit and TikTok quickly pointed out that he appeared to use Kylie’s rumored BBL as a handle for support. "Timothée using Kylie's BBL to get up from his seat" became an instant caption for the circulating clips, with some critics calling the move "possessive" and "objectifying."

The roasting didn't stop there. Another clip showed the Dune star rhythmically tapping Jenner’s bottom, leading fans to joke if he was sending "Morse code." While Kylie has denied Brazilian Butt Lift rumors for years, the event has reignited intense public scrutiny over her physical appearance and the couple's dynamic.

The 'Partner' Mention and PR Rumors

Chalamet’s acceptance speech added fuel to the fire. Despite being together for three years, he thanked his "partner" without explicitly mentioning Kylie’s name. This led to accusations that the pair is in a PR relationship orchestrated by Kris Jenner. One viral comment suggested Kris was behind the scenes with "a gun and a cue card," forcing the shout-out.
