Timothée Chalamet Opens Up About Oscar Disappointment
Timothée Chalamet expressed his disappointment at not winning the Best Actor Oscar this year. The 29-year-old actor was nominated for portraying Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown but lost to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist.
Reflections on Awards and Competition
Timothée, who was also nominated in 2017 for Call Me By Your Name but lost to Gary Oldman, 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.”
Recognition and Ambitions
Although he did not win 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 desire to become one of the great actors in the industry:
“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.”
Despite setbacks, Timothée's dedication to his craft and ambition remain clear.
Summary: Timothée Chalamet candidly shared his Oscar disappointment but demonstrated resilience, winning the SAG Award and expressing his determination to achieve greatness.
