Timothée Chalamet Lays His Cards On The Table Following ‘A Complete Unknown’ SAG Award Win: “I Want To Be One Of The Greats”


Timothée Chalamet's SAG Awards speech following his 'A Complete Unknown' win saw him set his sights on joining the leagues of the all-time greats.

But tonight, he walked away with a trophy, taking Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for his turn as Bob Dylan in Searchlight’s A Complete Unknown. Chalamet went on to acknowledge that “the classiest thing would be to downplay the effort that went into this role and how much this means to me.” Still, he said, “the truth is, this was five and a half years of my life. Chalamet noted that in working on a music biopic, it would be all too easy to fall into the trap of creating something “tired.” But this team “gave it their all,” he continued, “so I’m deeply grateful to them.”
