Timothée Chalamet on TV, Awards, and Disappointment
Timothée Chalamet told Vogue he has no plans to return to television and shared his feelings about losing major acting awards. At 29, he has been nominated multiple times, including two Oscars, four Golden Globes, and four BAFTA Awards, though he won the SAG Award for best actor for portraying Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.
Disappointment at the Oscars
“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 said about losing at the Oscars. “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!’ ”
A week after winning the SAG Award, Adrien Brody won the Oscar for best actor, beating Chalamet.
Defending His Work Ethic
“People can call me a try-hard, and they can say whatever the fuck,” Chalamet said. “But I’m the one actually doing it here.”
Reflections on Losing Awards
Chalamet previously described his reaction to not winning awards in a SiriusXM interview, calling it “uniquely hilarious” to go home empty-handed and tear up his prepared acceptance speech. He remarked on the internal struggle, saying, “You think to yourself, ‘You narcissistic arrogant prick.’”
