Retired American dancer Misty Copeland responded to actor Timothée Chalamet's statement that "no one cares" about ballet and opera, affirming the significance of these two art forms in Chalamet's artistic journey. This came during her participation in a seminar on March 8, where she referred to her collaboration with Chalamet in promoting the film Martin Supreme in November 2025.
Copeland stated that although ballet and opera are less popular compared to films, they have maintained enduring cultural importance for over 400 years. She added that "access and opportunities" in these arts can change individuals' lives, noting that Chalamet himself would not have become a successful actor without the influence of opera and ballet within the artistic community.
Both Misty Copeland and Timothée Chalamet are scheduled to attend the 2026 Academy Awards ceremony, set to take place on Sunday, March 15, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Copeland will perform the song "I Lied to You" from the Oscar-nominated film Sceners, while Chalamet is competing for the Best Actor award for his role in Martin Supreme.
It is worth mentioning that the 2026 Oscars ceremony will be hosted by Conan O'Brien and broadcast live on ABC and Hulu at 4:00 PM Pacific Time.
