Funny Face Bakery is serving up sugar cookies that look just like the Hell’s Kitchen native, who is nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown.”They named it the “Freewheelin’ Heartthrob,” a nod to the title of Dylan’s second album, “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan,” whose cover famously features the singer and his girlfriend Suze Rotolo, played in the film by Elle Fanning, walking arm in arm on Jones Street in the West Village.Janelle Morillo, who was friends with Chalamet at LaGuardia High School, from which they graduated in 2013, loved seeing the sugary replica, which retails for $15.“This is both amazing and hilarious,” she told The Post.“I’m very happy he’s being recognized and celebrated because he has dedicated his life to his art and he truly deserves it.”The out-of-the-box bakery — which has two locations, one on Lafayette Street in NoHo and the other on Fulton Street in the Seaport — also handed out the sweet treats at the Chalamet lookalike contest, held in Washington Square Park on Oct. 27, where the actor made an appearance.The 29-year-old actor, who received his first Academy Award nomination at 22 for “Call Me by Your Name,” has another connection to the bakery — his girlfriend Kylie Jenner’s mother was its first celebrity customer.“In our early days, Kris Jenner helped put us on the map when we gifted cookies to all of her grandkids,” said Funny Face’s head of growth Olivia Nickel.“We were even featured in the final moments of the ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ series finale.

Oscars is set to be a close race, but it’s unlikely to go Timothée Chalamet‘s way, the anonymous ballots suggest.Adrien Brody has long been considered the frontrunner for his performance in The Brutalist, having dominated the Best Actor category at the vast majority of this year’s ceremonies.However, in a major shock, Chalamet ended Brody’s winning streak when he took home the lead actor prize at the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, making him the youngest actor to win the category.Despite Chalamet’s surprise SAG win, the anonymous Oscar ballets suggest Brody is still the frontrunner, with Ralph Fiennes and Colman Domingo being the most likely to challenge.After speaking with anonymous Academy voters, Variety‘s Clayton Davis wrote: “An interesting conundrum is, I didn’t find as many Chalamet voters that would suggest he’s brewing for an upset, but voters would tell me, ‘I know a lot of people who voted for him.'”“Some suggested that those voting for Dune: Part Two in multiple categories are checking Chalamet’s name off. But I didn’t find as many that would convince me he’s about to pull it off.

Libra is cinematography because they’re superficial but good at it.Capricorns, sluts for good tailoring, are Best Costume Design and Aquarius — with their pension for disappearing beneath masks of the literal and metaphorical variety — are Best Hair and Makeup Styling.Last but certainly not least deserving, Pisces, with their wild delusions and limited attention spans, are Best Animated Short.Now that you’ve been primed on the stars at their award show, read on to find out which nominated film matches each zodiac sign.Starring IRL Aries Adrien Brody, “The Brutalist” is an unflinching portrait of an immigrant architect living the post-war American Nightmare.
