Timothée Chalamet is once again making waves in the film industry, this time with the potential to make history at the 2025 Academy Awards. The 28-year-old actor, who was previously nominated for Best Actor in 2017 for Call Me By Your Name, might just become the youngest actor ever to win the prestigious award. His performance in the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown has sparked early buzz, with Variety predicting him to take home the Oscar.
The Competition
Chalamet is expected to be up against some heavy hitters in the Best Actor category, including:
- Adrien Brody for The Brutalist
- Colman Domingo for Sing Sing
- Ralph Fiennes for Conclave
- Paul Mescal for Gladiator II
Interestingly, Brody holds the record as the youngest actor to win Best Actor at the age of 29, for his role in The Pianist. If Chalamet wins, he would break this record and make history.
Other Nominations for A Complete Unknown
In addition to Chalamet’s Best Actor nomination, A Complete Unknown is predicted to pick up multiple nominations, including:
- Best Picture
- Best Supporting Actress
- Production Design
- Costume Design
- Sound
However, it’s worth noting that while the film is generating strong buzz, it isn’t considered a frontrunner in the Best Picture category just yet.
Dune: Part Two’s Oscar Prospects
Chalamet also has another major film this year with Dune: Part Two. The film is expected to compete in several categories, including:
- Best Picture
- Production Design
- Film Editing
- Sound
- Visual Effects
Additionally, Dune: Part Two is predicted to win the Oscar for Makeup and Hairstyling. However, no actor from the movie, including Chalamet, is currently emerging as a frontrunner for individual acting nominations.
A Complete Unknown Release
The Complete Unknown is set to open on December 25, and fans can look forward to seeing Timothée Chalamet not only embody Bob Dylan but also showcase his singing talent, as suggested by the movie’s trailer.
Oscar season is heating up, and it looks like Timothée Chalamet is well on his way to securing a place in Hollywood history!
