Timothée Chalamet on Missing Out on Best Actor Oscar
Timothée Chalamet openly expressed his disappointment at not winning the Best Actor Oscar this year. The 29-year-old actor, nominated for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, lost the award to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist.
Previous Nomination and Reflections
This was not Chalamet's first nomination; he was also up for the same award in 2017 for Call Me By Your Name, where he lost to Gary Oldman for Darkest Hour. Speaking to America's Vogue, he shared his honest feelings about awards shows:
“If there’s five people at an awards show, and four people go home losing you don’t think those four people are at the restaurant like, ‘Damn, we didn’t win’? I’ve been around some deeply generous, no-ego actors, and maybe some of them are going, ‘That was fun.’ But I know for a fact a lot of them are going, ‘F***.’ People can call me a try-hard, and they can say whatever the f***. But I’m the one actually doing it here.”
Recognition at the Screen Actors Guild Awards
Although he didn’t secure the Oscar, Timothée received the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award for Best Leading Actor for the same role. During his acceptance speech, he expressed his ambition:
“I know the classiest thing would be to downplay the effort that went into this role and how much it means to me, but the truth is, this was five-and-a-half years of my life, I poured everything I had into playing this incomparable artist, Mr.”
Summary
Timothée Chalamet remains determined and passionate in his craft, openly sharing the emotional highs and lows of competing for top acting honors.
