Timothée Chalamet Reflects on Award Losses and TV Career
Timothée Chalamet revealed in a Vogue cover story that he will not return to television and expressed his disappointment over losing the Oscar for Best Actor.
Experiences with Awards
At 29 years old, Chalamet has been nominated multiple times, losing two Oscars, four Golden Globes, and four BAFTA Awards. However, he won the SAG Award for Best Actor in February for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. A week later, Adrien Brody won the Oscar for Best Actor for The Brutalist, beating Chalamet.
“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.
He continued to emphasize the honest emotions behind losing:
“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!’”
On Being Called a Try-Hard
Chalamet confronted criticism directly:
“People can call me a try-hard, and they can say whatever the fuck, but I’m the one actually doing it here.”
Previous Comments on Losing Awards
Earlier, Chalamet described the experience of losing at award shows as "uniquely hilarious" during an interview with SiriusXM. He reflected on the awkwardness of having to discard the prepared acceptance speech, saying:
“You think to yourself, ‘You narcissistic arrogant prick.’”
This candid insight sheds light on the complex emotions actors face behind the glamour of award ceremonies.
Summary
Timothée Chalamet openly acknowledges the frustration of losing major awards and embraces his dedication to acting despite criticism.
