Could Timothée Chalamet Win a Grammy Before He Wins an Oscar?

At 29 years old, Timothée Chalamet has already earned two Academy Award nominations and recently secured his first Grammy nomination.

Grammy Nomination for Music

On Friday morning, Chalamet received a Grammy nod for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, stemming from his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. He is nominated alongside projects like F1 The Album, KPop Demon Hunters, Sinners, and Wicked. Unlike the other nominees credited to "various artists," Chalamet is the only individual named.

Preparation for the Role

To convincingly portray Bob Dylan, Chalamet dedicated five years to intensive training. This included learning to sing, play guitar and harmonica, and working with dialect and movement coaches to perfect his performance.

Recognition and Awards

His dedication earned him multiple accolades, including his second Oscar nomination for Best Actor. He also received nominations at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, Critics’ Choice Awards, and SAG Awards, winning at the latter.

“I can downplay the significance of this award because it means the most to me. And I know we’re in a subjective business, but the truth is I’m really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don’t usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I’m inspired by the greats.”
