Timothée Chalamet Says No to TV and Reflects on Losing an Oscar
Timothée Chalamet shared in an interview with Vogue that he has no plans to return to television and spoke candidly about the sting of losing major awards. The 29-year-old actor admitted feeling disappointed after missing out on multiple honors, including two Oscars, four Golden Globes, and four BAFTA Awards.
Despite these losses, Chalamet was recently recognized with the SAG Award for Best Actor in February for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown.” However, a week later, Adrien Brody won the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in “The Brutalist.”
“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?’”
He explained that while some actors may appear carefree about losing, most share a quiet frustration. Chalamet noted he has met truly generous, humble performers, yet many still leave the awards ceremony disappointed.
“People can call me a try-hard, and they can say whatever they want. But I’m the one actually doing it here.”
Reflecting on the emotional side of competition, he also told SiriusXM last year that losing at an awards show can feel “uniquely hilarious,” especially after preparing a speech in advance. He admitted that it forces one to confront their own ego with humor and humility.
