Timothée Chalamet hasn't won a single award for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in, "A Complete Unknown," but, turns out, he's kinda used to losing, at this point ... and has no problem poking fun at himself over it.

The actor hosted 'SNL' for the third time last night -- with girlfriend Kylie Jenner nowhere in sight -- and, during his monologue, he acknowledged all the acclaim and nominations he's gotten for the Dylan biopic, but he doesn't seem hopeful about taking home any hardware.

Timothée kicked off the bit by pointing out he just keeps losing at award shows and it's getting harder each time to smile and act like he's chill about it.

Doesn't seem Jimmy Butler's sweating his latest Heat suspension ... 'cause just hours after the hooper's team hit him with a two-game ban, he was seen yuckin' it up with famed comedian Andrew Schulz at a swanky party.

TMZ Sports has learned Butler made his way to the Reserve Cup Draft & Dinner hosted by Moncayo Ocean Club on Wednesday night ... mere hours after he was punished by the Heat for missing the team's flight to Milwaukee for its upcoming road matchup with the Bucks.

Tony Rock says he's not cheering on a second Donald Trump term as president ... admitting there will be more joke opportunities, but he's not feeling like comedians have struck gold.

Watch the video ... she blasted Justin as "kind of a weirdo," and said she totally believed the actor was "creepy and inappropriate" on set ... which Blake claimed in her lawsuit against her "It Ends With Us" costar and director.

Comedian Luenell is keeping it real about Dave Chappelle's 'SNL' monologue, where he called for compassion as America embarks on a new chapter with President Trump in charge.

Luenell didn’t hold back when speaking to TMZ at LAX ... saying while she understands Chappelle’s plea for compassion for Trump’s administration, it’s useless 'cause compassion isn’t something they’ve ever shown.

Jimmy Fallon tackled one of the most talked about topics at Donald Trump's inauguration Monday — Melania's hat!

The 'Tonight Show' host stepped out onstage for his opening monologue last evening sporting a wide-brim black hat with a white stripe around it.

Funny thing was it mirrored the hat Melania was wearing at DT's swearing-in ceremony as the 47th president, which looked similar to the one donned by the McDonald's Hamburglar character.

Dave Chappelle returned to host "Saturday Night Live" this week, delivering a monologue tackling everything from Diddy’s legal troubles to his message to President-elect Donald Trump.

Chappelle noted he's never seen anything quite like what Diddy is currently going through saying, "I’ve been in a lot of trouble in my day, but this guy Puffy --  buddy, this guy is in an enormous amount of trouble. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this."

Chappelle’s poked fun at himself, recalling how friends of his have questioned his absence from Diddy’s infamous "freak-off" parties with Chapelle saying, "I thought about it for a minute and I said, oh my God -- I’m ugly. That was a tough way to find out. Can you imagine reading the newspaper and finding out everyone in Hollywood had an orgy behind your back? None of y’all called me?"

Bill Burr is ripping folks who think Los Angeles botched the wildfire situation ... he says critics have no clue what they're talking about.

Bill pours water on a couple popular talking points among critics on social media ... bashing the idea that illegal immigrants and homeless people are the scapegoats here.
