Timothée Chalamet Openly Shares Oscar Disappointment
Timothée Chalamet has honestly expressed his disappointment at not winning the Best Actor Oscar this year. The 29-year-old actor was nominated for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, but the award went to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist.
Chalamet Reflects on Awards and Competition
Chalamet, who was also nominated in 2017 for Call Me By Your Name but lost to Gary Oldman in Darkest Hour, spoke to Vogue about the realities of losing:
“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 Despite Oscar Loss
Although he did not secure the Academy Award, Timothée Chalamet won the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award for Best Leading Actor for his role in the film. In his acceptance speech, he expressed his ambition:
“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's candid emotions reflect the challenges actors face in seeking recognition, showing his dedication despite setbacks and his drive to join the ranks of great performers.
