A Second Chance at Best Actor
Timothee Chalamet is seemingly highly rated by the Academy, as he received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for Call Me By Name in 2017.
He made Academy Award history by becoming the third-youngest Best Actor nominee at only 22 years old.
He might not have won, but it proves he has a good chance of receiving a nomination for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.
If Timothee Chalamet is called onto the stage to accept Best Actor, he will be the youngest winner in the category’s history, breaking Adrien Brody’s record at 29 years old for The Pianist.
He will be 29 during the ceremony but 279 days younger than Adrien Brody was when he was handed the statuette.
Glowing Early Reviews
As A Complete Unknown won’t arrive in movie theaters in the US until Christmas Day or January 2025 in various countries across the globe, movie lovers are unsure what to expect. However, the flick has received many glowing early reviews from top film critics.
For instance, Clayton Davis from Variety wrote on X, “Timothee Chalamet slides into Bob Dylan with an effortless yet focused determination. Fearless in some hypnotic moments.”
Also, Scott Menzel, a respected film critic, praised Timothee Chalamet and said he “delivers the performance of the year. A true tour-de-force where Chalamet is never seen. Chalamet’s performance is not just about the voice and the look, but rather all of the little nuances and mannerisms that he perfectly brings to his life in his portrayal of Bob Dylan.”
Tough Competition
Timothee Chalamet continues to prove he is one of the finest actors in the movie industry right now, as he is largely responsible for A Complete Unknown’s early glowing reviews.
However, he is likely to face steep competition from many talented, seasoned actors who have a good shot of taking home the award.
For many weeks, Adrien Brody was the frontrunner to accept the Best Actor award at the Oscars 2025 for his role in The Brutalist; however, early reviews have turned the odds in Chalamet’s favor.
Other strong contenders for a nomination and the Oscar Statuette include Ralph Fiennes for Conclave, Colman Domingo for Sing Sing, and Daniel Craig for Queer.
Of course, you cannot rule out Jesse Eisenberg for A Real Pain, Barry Keoghan for Bird, Paul Mescal for Gladiator II, or Sebastian Stan for The Apprentice, either.
