Best Actor Award Comments (Updated November 27, 2024): Timothée Chalamet sings all of his own songs in A Completely Unknown, a bold choice for a music biopic, especially one with a voice as iconic and unique as Bob Dylan’s. This is especially true when playing an artist.
But just as Diana Ross embodied Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues (1972), Sissy Spacek played Loretta Lynn in Coal Miner’s Daughter (1980). , Chalamet stands up to this situation as Renée Zellweger stepped into Judy Garland’s shoes in Judy (2019). He doesn’t try to imitate Dylan note for note. Instead, he captures the essence of his vocal style and emotional intensity, delivering a performance that feels authentic rather than imitation. That may be irresistible to Academy voters.
Chalamet previously made history as the third-youngest Best Actor nominee at just 22 years old for Call Me By Your Name (2017), but he may set a new record this year. be. If he wins, he will become the youngest winner in the category, surpassing Adrien Brody, who won at the age of 29 for “The Pianist.” Chalamet will turn 29 in December, making him 279 days younger than Brody at the time of his win.
Still, it will have to fend off Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”), Adrien Brody (“The Brutalist”) and Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”) for a chance at the Oscar.
The 97th Oscar Awards will be held on Sunday, March 2nd. All movie listings, titles, distributors, and credited artisans are not final and are subject to change.
