It was an explosive moment for basketball fans across town and in Hollywood, too, as the court was filled with celebrities that included everyone from Adam Sandler and Taylor Swift to Chalamet himself.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It was a 94 \u2013 90 win against the San Antonio Spurs that was more than half a century in the making. However, as mayhem spread from the Frost Bank Center arena in San Antonio to the streets of New York City, it was the <u>Marty Supreme<\/u> actor who may have had the most infectious Knicks battle cry.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@espn\/video\/7651092165245816095\" data-video-id=\"7651092165245816095\" style=\"max-width:605px;min-width:325px\">\n<section> @espn #TimotheeChalamet hyped for the #Knicks title \ud83c\udf89\ud83c\udfc6 #nba #nbafinals #newyork \u266c original sound &#8211; ESPN <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<style><![CDATA[blockquote.tiktok-embed[data-video-id='7651092165245816095'] { width: 325px; margin-left: 0; } blockquote.tiktok-embed iframe { border-radius: 8px; }]]><\/style>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Way rather this than the Oscars,&#8221; Chalamet said in the post-Game 5 clip. &#8221; Come on, baby. The Knicks are champions, baby.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Chalamet is currently parading around as a massive fan of the New York basketball team, but he&#8217;s definitely best known for his work as an actor. In addition to his work for the ongoing Dune trilogy, he&#8217;s most recently received praise for roles like Bob Dylan in <u>A Complete Unknown<\/u>, Kyle in <u>Lady Bird<\/u>, and Willy Wonka in <u>Wonka<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Although he&#8217;s no doubt one of the most recognizable actors in Hollywood today, Chalamet has not managed to nab that coveted Oscar award quite yet. He notoriously walked away from <u>the 98th Academy Awards<\/u> earlier this year without any wins himself despite his Marty Supreme pic entering the competition with an impressive nine nominations.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@espn\/video\/7651110691394440479\" data-video-id=\"7651110691394440479\" style=\"max-width:605px;min-width:325px\">\n<section> @espn Bro thinks he\u2019s on the team \ud83e\udd23 #timotheechalamet #nba #knicks #newyork #nbafinals \u266c original sound &#8211; ESPN <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<style><![CDATA[blockquote.tiktok-embed[data-video-id='7651110691394440479'] { width: 325px; margin-left: 0; } blockquote.tiktok-embed iframe { border-radius: 8px; }]]><\/style>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Even if it sounds like the Academy is still on his mind as the Knicks take home a trophy of their own, he doesn&#8217;t seem too bitter about the ordeal. One <u>video posted by ESPN<\/u> saw the star celebrating with Finals MVP Jalen Brunsen and what looks to be Marty Supreme director Josh Safdie.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;THEY DID IT,&#8221; Chalamet said when posting <u>another video<\/u> taken from the Knicks&#8217; locker room.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZjfXGSJbGd\/embed\" height=\"710\" width=\"612\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As Chalamet comes down from celebrating with the Knicks, it&#8217;s hard to say if he&#8217;ll be eligible for any categories at <u>the 99th Academy Awards<\/u>. In terms of his 2026 films, most fans are looking forward to seeing his take on an older Paul Atreides in <u>Dune: Part 3<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Photo by Gregory Shamus\/Getty Images.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Michael Cripe is a freelance writer with IGN.
