Timothée Chalamet Opens Up About Losing Awards and TV Career
In a recent Vogue cover story, Timothée Chalamet shared his feelings on losing major acting awards and his decision to avoid television projects. The 29-year-old actor expressed disappointment over not winning the Oscar for Best Actor despite multiple nominations and other award wins.
Career and Awards
- Chalamet has been nominated for two Oscars, four Golden Globes, and four BAFTA Awards.

- Despite this, Adrien Brody won the Oscar for Best Actor shortly afterward for his performance in The Brutalist.
Feelings on Losing Awards
“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?'” Chalamet told Vogue. “I’ve been around some deeply generous, no-ego actors, and maybe some of them are going, ‘That was fun.’ But I know for a fact a lot of them are going, ‘Fuck!’”
“People can call me a try-hard, and they can say whatever the fuck,” he added. “But I’m the one actually doing it here.”
Previous Thoughts on Award Losses
Last year, Chalamet described the experience of losing at awards as “uniquely hilarious,” referring to the challenge of throwing away a rehearsed acceptance speech and dealing with the frustration that follows.
“You think to yourself, ‘You narcissistic arrogant prick,’” he told SiriusXM.
Decision on TV Work
Chalamet also confirmed he will not return to television, emphasizing his dedication to roles in film instead.
