Timothée Chalamet Disappointed Over Oscar Win
Timothée Chalamet openly shared his disappointment after not winning the Best Actor Oscar this year. The 29-year-old actor was nominated for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, but the award went to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist.
Previous Nominations and Candid Reflections
This was not Chalamet’s first nomination; he was also nominated in 2017 for Call Me By Your Name, where he lost to Gary Oldman for Darkest Hour. Speaking to Vogue magazine, Timothée said:
“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 from the Screen Actors Guild
Although he did not secure the Academy Award, Timothée won the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award for Best Leading Actor for the same role. During his acceptance speech, he expressed his ambition and dedication:
“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 acknowledges the disappointment of missing out on an Oscar but values his hard work and recognition through other prestigious awards, demonstrating his drive to be among the best actors.
