Kevin O'Leary bets $1,000 that Timothée Chalamet will win an Oscar

Kevin O'Leary said on the Oscars red carpet that he bet $1,000 on Kalshi that his "Marty Supreme" costar Timothée Chalamet will win the best actor Oscar. O'Leary plays tycoon Milton Rockwell in "Marty Supreme."

He told Variety, "I know the voting stopped long before that controversy happened," referring to a comment Chalamet made during a conversation with Matthew McConaughey earlier this month. Chalamet said, "I don't want to be working in ballet or opera where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore.'"

Chalamet had been the frontrunner for the best actor Oscar until recently, when "Sinners" star Michael B. Jordan won the best actor prize at SAG's Actor Awards.

So whether Mr. Wonderful wins or loses $1,000, it won't be related to a love or hatred for opera and ballet.
