As one door closes for Timothee Chalamet, a new one opens.
The 30-year-old actor, who fell short in his bid to win Best Leading Actor for Marty Supreme at Sunday’s Oscars, pivoted to promoting his next high-profile project: Dune 3.
Chalamet posted to his Instagram account on Monday a promotional poster that read, ‘DUN3 TRAILER TOMORROW’ teasing a sneak peek at Tuesday’s third installment in the Dune franchise.
Chalamet was pictured in the promotional pic as his character in the film, Paul Atreides, which had the words: ‘The epic conclusion.’
The actor was well supported by a number of his followers as he announced the beginning of promotions for the third installment in the film series.
One user predicted that ‘Timothèe about to have the greatest villain comeback era,’ while another suggested Dune 3 would be the project to garner him his long-awaited Oscar win, writing, ‘Get that Oscar GOAT.’

A commenter said Chalamet appeared even more motivated to gain success in the wake of the Oscar snub.
‘Bro didn’t win the oscars he turning up,’ the user said.
Said another fan, ‘I can’t wait Dune era is back let’s go can’t wait for Dune part 3 … timothee should of won the [Oscars] this movie will for sure give him one Timothee is the goat.’
Echoed another user: ‘Paul Atreides is definitely the role that’s bringing that Oscar home.’
The user predicted that ‘after the snubs for Call Me By Your Name and Marty Supreme, they have no more excuses with Dune III!’
Chalamet had a bit of a bumpy end to award season over the past few weeks, as it appeared to be a close Oscar race between him and eventual winner, Sinners star Michael B. Jordan, for the Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role honors.
Chalamet caused a stir after he said that ‘no one cares about’ art forms such as ballet and opera, garnering strong reactions from multiple celebrities and people in the arts.
His controversial comments came during the filming of A CNN & Variety Town Hall Event at the University of Texas at Austin last month, where he told Matthew McConaughey he felt a sense of conflict about pushing seeing films in theaters.

Chalamet said of ballet and opera, ‘It’s like, “Keep this thing alive even though no one cares about this thing anymore.'”
Also nominated Sunday for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role were One Battle After Another’s Leonardo DiCaprio, The Secret Agent’s Wagner Moura and Blue Moon’s Ethan Hawke.
Chalamet’s first nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role was for his work in the 2017 motion picture Call Me By Your Name.
He was also nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for his role as Bob Dylan in 2024’s A Complete Unknown.
