Could Timothée Chalamet Win a Grammy Before He Wins an Oscar?
At 29 years old, Timothée Chalamet has already earned two Academy Award nominations and recently received his first Grammy nomination, marking a notable milestone in his career.
Grammy Nomination for Music
Chalamet was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. This nomination stands out because, unlike the other nominees such as F1 The Album, KPop Demon Hunters, and Sinners and Wicked—which credit various artists—Chalamet is named individually.
Preparation for Portraying Bob Dylan
To authentically embody the iconic singer, Chalamet underwent extensive training, including five years of preparation. He learned to sing, play guitar and harmonica, and worked with dialect and movement coaches to capture Dylan's essence convincingly.
Recognition for Acting
His dedication also earned him a second Oscar nomination for Best Actor, along with nods from the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, Critics’ Choice Awards, and SAG Awards, where he won Best Actor for the same role.
“I can downplay the significance of this award because it means the most to me. And I know we’re in a subjective business, but the truth is I’m really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don’t usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I’m inspired by the greats.”
