His opponents include 's dual role in Ryan Coogler's Sinners and Leonardo 's turn in Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another. 

Chalamet's pomposity in interviews has led to souring public opinion about him, with sources gathering steam ahead of the Academy Awards. 

The actor, whose mother and sister both trained in ballet, then poured fuel on the backlash by remarking that 'no one cares about' opera and ballet. 

Amid the furor, Chalamet in an all-white ensemble of a suit and tie, clashed against a massive pair of black shades.

Chalamet's puffed-up attitude in interviews has led to souring public opinion about him, with sources exclusively telling the Daily Mail about a 'Stop Timmy' campaign

He then added that 'I don't want to be working in ballet or opera or, you know, things where it's like: "Hey, keep this thing alive," even though no one cares about this anymore,' in an interview for Variety's Actors on Actors.

'All respect to the ballet and opera people out there,' added Chalamet, who is nominated for a best actor Oscar this Sunday for the ping pong movie Marty Supreme. 'I just lost 14 cents in viewership, I just took shots for no reason.'

His comments drew outrage from theatrical personalities ranging from ballerina Misty Copeland to legend of stage and screen Nathan Lane.

This week, three-time Oscar-winner Spielberg has added his voice to the choir of venom against Chalamet - after insiders  about the 'Stop Timmy' campaign gathering steam ahead of the . 

Spielberg slyly inveighed against Chalamet while discussing his own hopes for movie theaters during an onstage interview at the South by Southwest film festival.

'But for me, the real experience comes when we can influence a community to congregate in a strange, dark space where all of us are strangers,' he said.

'At the end of a really good movie experience, we are all united with a whole bunch of feelings that we walk into the daylight with, or into the nighttime with. And there’s nothing like that. It happens in movies, and in concerts. And it happens in ballet and opera, by the way,' he added, according to Variety.

The audience cheered and laughed at the obvious Chalamet dig, and Spielberg noted with a smile: 'And we want that to be sustained. We want that to go on forever.'
