Could Timothée Chalamet Win a Grammy Before He Wins an Oscar?
Timothée Chalamet, 29, has already achieved two Academy Award nominations and recently earned his first Grammy nomination for music's biggest night.
Grammy Nomination Details
Chalamet received his Grammy nod for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media due to his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. He is nominated alongside albums like F1 The Album, KPop Demon Hunters, Sinners, and Wicked. Unlike the others, who are credited as "various artists," Chalamet is the sole nominee named individually.
Preparation for the Role
To portray Bob Dylan authentically, Chalamet underwent five years of intensive training. This included learning to sing, play the guitar and harmonica, and working with dialect and movement coaches to capture Dylan’s essence.
Acting Recognition
His commitment to the role earned Chalamet his second Oscar nomination for Best Actor, along with nominations at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, Critics’ Choice Awards, and SAG Awards, where he won Best Actor.
“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.”
