Timothée Chalamet on Missing the Best Actor Oscar
Timothée Chalamet openly expressed his disappointment at not winning the Best Actor Oscar this year. At 29, he was nominated for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, but lost to Adrien Brody, the star of The Brutalist.
Reflections on Competition and Emotions
Having been nominated before in 2017 for Call Me By Your Name (losing to Gary Oldman for Darkest Hour), Timothée shared his honest feelings 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.”
Acknowledgement for Other Achievements
Despite missing the Oscar, Timothée accepted the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award for Best Leading Actor for the same role. During his speech, he highlighted the personal significance of the role:
“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.”
