Timothée Chalamet Says It’s ‘Uniquely Hilarious’ to Rip Up Acceptance Speeches After Losing Acting Awards: ‘You Narcissistic Arrogant Prick’


Timothee Chalamet says it's a "uniquely hilarious" experience losing awards and then ripping up acceptance speeches afterwards.

He’s in contention for the best actor in a motion picture drama prize at the 2025 ceremony thanks to his acclaimed performance as Bob Dylan in the biographical music drama “ A Complete Unknown.” Chalamet’s last three nominations did not end in victory, and he recently told SiriusXM there’s nothing funnier than ripping up your acceptance speech after losing. This year, Chalamet is nominated in the best actor in a motion picture drama category alongside Adrien Brody for “The Brtualist,” Daniel Craig for “Queer,” Colman Domingo for “Sing Sing,” Ralph Fiennes for “Conclave” and Sebastian Stan for “The Apprentice.” He’s widely expected to earn an Oscar nomination for his work as Bob Dylan. “The voice, the hardscrabble directness, the spiritual harshness that melts into something lyrical — it’s all there…Chalamet rises to the challenge of capturing the prickly charisma of Dylan’s inchoate, anti-matter, read-between-the-lines personality.
