American-French actor Timothée Chalamet recently expressed his disappointment over not winning the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in “A Complete Unknown.” In an interview with Vogue, where he was promoting his upcoming film “Marty Supreme,” the 29-year-old reflected on his experience at the 97th Academy Awards, acknowledging that while he was honored to be nominated, he had hoped to take the Oscar home.
Chalamet candidly stated, “If there are five people at an awards show and four of them go home with a loss, don’t you think those four people in the restaurant are going to say, ‘Well, we didn’t win?’” He described the mixed reactions among nominees, noting that while some may approach the event with a generous spirit, many feel the sting of defeat.
Nominated for Best Actor alongside Colman Domingo for “Sing Sing,” Ralph Fiennes for “Conclave,” Sebastian Stan for “The Apprentice,” and Adrien Brody, who ultimately won for his performance in “The Brutalist,” Chalamet’s loss captivated much of the media’s attention. He expressed his ambitions to earn recognition from both audiences and critics, revealing that securing an Oscar was part of his goals during his earlier win at the SAG Awards in February.
Chalamet’s openness about his aspirations and the emotional dynamics of awards season reveals a relatable side to an accomplished actor. His perspectives not only highlight the competitive nature of the industry but also reflect a sense of determination that many aspiring artists can identify with. As he continues to build his career in Hollywood, audiences can anticipate more impactful performances from this talented young star.
