Timothée Chalamet on Missing the Best Actor Oscar
Timothée Chalamet openly expressed his disappointment about not winning the Best Actor Oscar this year. The 29-year-old was nominated for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, but the award went to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist.
Reflections on Award Shows
Chalamet, who was also nominated in 2017 for Call Me By Your Name but lost to Gary Oldman in Darkest Hour, shared his thoughts with Vogue magazine:
“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.”
SAG Award Victory and Ambitions
Though he missed out on the Oscar, Timothée won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Leading Actor for the same role. In his acceptance speech, he revealed his aspirations:
“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.”
Chalamet admitted he wants to be recognized as “one of the greats” in his craft.
