Could Timothée Chalamet Win a Grammy Before He Wins an Oscar?
At 29 years old, Timothée Chalamet has already earned two Academy Award nominations and now received his first Grammy nomination.
Grammy Nomination for Music
Chalamet was nominated for the Grammy in the category of Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media for his role as Bob Dylan in last year’s A Complete Unknown. He is nominated alongside projects like F1 The Album, KPop Demon Hunters, and Sinners and Wicked. Unlike the other nominees credited to "various artists," Chalamet is the only individual nominee named.
Preparation and Performance
To authentically portray Bob Dylan, Chalamet trained extensively for five years. He learned to sing, play guitar and harmonica, and worked with dialect and movement coaches to capture Dylan’s essence.
Recognition and Awards
His dedication earned him a second Oscar nomination for Best Actor, along with nominations at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, Critics’ Choice Awards, and SAG Awards, winning at the latter.
“I can downplay the significance of this award because it means the most to me. And I know we’re in a subjective business, but the truth is I’m really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don’t usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I’m inspired by the greats.”
