Timothée Chalamet on Awards and TV Career
Timothée Chalamet revealed in a Vogue cover story that he will not return to television and shared his feelings about losing major acting awards. At 29, he has been nominated multiple times but has not secured an Oscar win yet.
Disappointment at Award Shows
Chalamet has been nominated for two Oscars, four Golden Globes, and four BAFTA Awards, winning only the SAG Award for Best Actor in February for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. A week after that win, he lost the Oscar for Best Actor to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist.
“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?’” Chalamet told Vogue. “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, ‘Fuck!’”
“People can call me a try-hard, and they can say whatever the fuck,” he added. “But I’m the one actually doing it here.”
On Losing Awards
Previously, Chalamet described the experience of losing an award as “uniquely hilarious.” In an interview with SiriusXM, he commented on the awkwardness of having to discard the acceptance speech written before the ceremony.
“You think to yourself, ‘You narcissistic arrogant prick,’” he said about the bittersweet aftermath of award shows.
Summary
Timothée Chalamet candidly discusses his award show setbacks and firmly states his choice to avoid television, emphasizing his dedication despite critics.
