Timothée Chalamet Expresses Disappointment Over Oscar Loss
Timothée Chalamet openly shared his feelings of 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.
Chalamet, who was previously nominated in 2017 for Call Me By Your Name but lost to Gary Oldman in Darkest Hour, spoke to Vogue magazine about the experience:
“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.”
Although he did not win the Oscar, Timothée earned the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Leading Actor for the same role. During his acceptance speech, he expressed his aspirations:
“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 candidly revealed his disappointment at missing the Oscar but remains proud of his work and honored by his Screen Actors Guild win, underscoring his dedication to the craft.
