Could Timothée Chalamet Win a Grammy Before an Oscar?
At 29, Timothée Chalamet has already made a remarkable mark in acting with two Academy Award nominations. Recently, he received his first Grammy nomination, expanding his artistic recognition.
Grammy Nomination for Soundtrack
Chalamet earned a Grammy nod for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, thanks to his role as Bob Dylan in the film A Complete Unknown. He is nominated alongside albums like F1 The Album, KPop Demon Hunters, Sinners, and Wicked. Unlike his fellow nominees, who are credited as “various artists,” Chalamet is recognized individually.
Transformation into Bob Dylan
To embody Dylan, Chalamet dedicated five years to intense training. He mastered singing, guitar, and harmonica, while also working with dialect and movement coaches to ensure an authentic performance.
Acting Accolades
His portrayal brought him a second Oscar nomination for Best Actor and 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.”
