Timothée Chalamet Faces Tough Oscar Competition for Bob Dylan Biopic

Chalamet's transformative performance in 'A Complete Unknown' earns acclaim but faces hurdles as Adrien Brody emerges as a frontrunner.

Timothée Chalamet's portrayal of Bob Dylan in 'A Complete Unknown' has earned him a Best Actor nomination at the 2025 Oscars, making him the youngest actor to achieve two nominations in this category by age 29.
Despite critical acclaim for Chalamet's performance, an anonymous Academy voter suggested his age might work against him, with the sentiment that 'there’s time for him' to win in the future.
Adrien Brody, starring in 'The Brutalist,' has dominated the awards season and poses significant competition for Chalamet in the Best Actor category.
'A Complete Unknown,' directed by James Mangold, is nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture, with praise for its detailed portrayal of Dylan’s early career and strong supporting performances by Edward Norton and Monica Barbaro.
The film has been a box office success, surpassing $100 million globally, and will be available for digital purchase on February 24, with a Disney+ release expected in the coming months.
