Timothée Chalamet on TV and Awards
Timothée Chalamet revealed in a Vogue cover story that he has no plans to return to television roles. He also shared his feelings about losing major acting awards, including two Oscars, four Golden Globes, and four BAFTAs. Despite these setbacks, he won the SAG Award for Best Actor in February for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.
Disappointment at the Oscars
Chalamet expressed his frustration about losing the Oscar for Best Actor, which went to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist shortly after Chalamet’s SAG win. He told Vogue:
“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?’”
He went on to say:
“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!’”
Embracing His Effort
On criticism, Chalamet stated his determination:
“People can call me a try-hard, and they can say whatever the fuck. But I’m the one actually doing it here.”
Previous Reflections on Losing Awards
Last year, Chalamet described the experience of losing at awards as “uniquely hilarious,” especially having to discard the prepared acceptance speech. He remarked to SiriusXM:
“You think to yourself, ‘You narcissistic arrogant prick.’”
His candid reflections highlight the challenging emotional side of the awards circuit.
Summary: Timothée Chalamet openly discusses the disappointment of missing out on prestigious awards, his refusal to return to TV, and his commitment to his craft despite critics.
