Timothée Chalamet Reflects on Oscar Disappointment
Timothée Chalamet openly shared his disappointment at 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 also nominated in 2017 for Call Me By Your Name but lost to Gary Oldman for Darkest Hour, revealed his feelings to America's 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.”
Success at the Screen Actors Guild Awards
Although he missed out on the Oscar, Timothée won the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award for Best Leading Actor for the same role. During 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 revealed his genuine disappointment with the Oscar outcome but remains proud of his work and motivated to achieve greatness in his career.
