Timothée Chalamet on TV, Awards, and Oscar Disappointment
Timothée Chalamet revealed in a Vogue cover story that he will not return to television and shared his feelings about losing major awards, including the Oscars.
Disappointment After Award Losses
The 29-year-old actor has been nominated multiple times, losing two Oscars, four Golden Globes, and four BAFTA Awards. Despite this, he won the SAG Award for Best Actor in February for portraying Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. However, a week later, Adrien Brody won the Oscar for Best Actor with 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 said. “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!’”
His Response to Criticism
Chalamet addressed critics who label him a “try-hard” with defiance, emphasizing his dedication and effort in his craft.
“People can call me a try-hard, and they can say whatever the fuck,” he said. “But I’m the one actually doing it here.”
On the Unique Reality of Losing Awards
Previously, on SiriusXM, Chalamet described the bittersweet experience of preparing an awards speech only to lose, calling it “uniquely hilarious.”
“You think to yourself, ‘You narcissistic arrogant prick,’” he remarked on the feeling of going home empty handed after hopeful anticipation.
Summary: Timothée Chalamet openly expresses the frustration of losing awards and rejects TV roles, while confidently defending his commitment to acting despite criticism.
