Timmy Chalamet gives a “Tour de Force” performance in “A Complete Unknown”

Is he winning the Oscar?

It seems like Chalamet is good but the supporting actors are better.

Best Actor is widely expected to go to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist.

I hope this movie is great and that he is, too. I love great bio pictures. I think he'll be very good.

R2 is Timothee Chalamet.

Listen. The 2022 critics' reviews of, their descriptive adjectives for, Austin Butler as Elvis would, in retrospect, astound you in light of his not winning the Academy Award.

In fact, "astonishing" was one of their words, along with (all legit sources, not SM): bravura performance; captivating; dazzling; electrifying; fantastic; grit and grace; hypnotizing stage presence; The King Incarnate; jaw-dropping; magnetic; nails it; Oscar-worthy; phenomenal; a revelation; stunning, sexy, spectacular, sublime, sensational; transformative; unforgettable. UNDENIABLE.

Yet denied he was of the Oscar, after winning the GG and BAFTA.

So I, as a Butler fan, don't want to read about how terrific Timmy (or, frankly, anyone else) is in his role as another music icon where the actor doesn't even have to look any different from his normal self (but for a tiny change to his nose). And Austin sang for real, also.

Not that I want to have some silly "fan war," but where are all the cries NOW of "there have been too many music biopics already!"? No, instead NOW we are going full-steam ahead to praise "A Complete Unknown" and, soon, "Maria."

by Anonymousreply 7November 21, 2024 2:47 PM

1. He seized for himself an entire restroom trailer which caused massive lines of 150 crew members.

2. He flew into a rage when a low level production assistant accidentally included him in a photo’s frame.

3. He told everyone to not look him in the eye or introduce themselves to him.

4. He hates when production assistants and stand ins would watch rehearsals on A Complete Unknown.

While the reactions to “A Complete Unknown” have been mostly positive so far, the biopic received some mixed responses, including from Los Angeles film critic Ryan Swen, who described the movie as “frequently incoherent/inaccurate” and “not terrible but often unsuccessful.”

by Anonymousreply 20November 21, 2024 4:01 PM

He has a lot of things going for him: goodwill from Dune 2, Searchlight is one of the best campaigners in the business, he loves to campaign his ass off, the Academy loves biopics, etc. However, being a film's sole nomination is hard for any actor. I remember he was the sole nomination for Beautiful Boy and got in everywhere except the Oscars. Furthermore, other dark horse contenders (Craig, Stan, Eisenberg) can rise in the polls and ACU's reviews and box office will heavily factor. Basically, I won't be shocked if he gets in and I won't be shocked if he gets snubbed.

It will be Ralph Fiennes for Conclave or Colman Domingo for Sing Sing. Timmy may get a nomination through spending but he won’t win.

Timmy would have to have a truly bravura performance to get a win this early in his career.

They'll make him wait like they did with Leo.

It's a weird year for the Oscars...there are frontrunners for noms but there's really not solid sure things for probable wins like so many recent years.

Best Actor is probably Brody, Fiennes, Domingo. The other two spots seem to be pretty open with Timmy likely to get in there.

But, how many people have actually seen this movie? It smells like publicists working overtime again.

He’s never going to win an Oscar.

by Anonymousreply 40November 23, 2024 11:16 AM

Even with a very weak Best Actor category this year, there are still more deserving performances than cheap Bob Dylan.

Brody and Fiennes are the only locks. It seemed like the buzz for Sing Sing died after the summer but Colman Domingo is on fire right now and A24 is one of the best campaigners in the industry. I think he’s a lock for the third slot.

I hope Eisenberg and Stan get the fourth and fifth slots. A golden globe win should help Eisenberg and I think the Actors on Actors controversy might actually backfire and galvanize support for Stan. I wouldn’t even mind seeing Craig get in for his first overdue nomination.

R48: He harbored a particular loathing for stand ins on the set of ACU and hated when they would sit in and watch rehearsals. Read the Daily Mail article. I believe that piece because similar horror stories have emerged from the sets of Wonka and Bones & All. The point is he’s no Angel and treats people very badly for somebody with zero talent.

This is an important movie for TimOtay....a test for him and his career. After the huge success of him starring in big tentpole movies it will prove if he can carry a movie on his own without the help of pre-existing major intellectual properties (though I guess you could argue that 'Dylan' is an intellectual property, he's not quite the same as Willie Wonka and Dune...)

If it's a big hit, TimTim is officially a big Box Office Leading Man Star with the pick of scripts and major pull in H'wood.

If it's just an Art House Hit...well, then it's a minor win for him. He's been in several of these...it'll just establish him as a Star who can lead in big properties and arty fare. Not a bad place to be.

It it barely breaks even or just bombs...not so good. He's just the weird looking aging kid who does well if it's a well known property with a role he's suited for. He needs to start mooching around for a good Marvel role.

He's had a year of bad press between the diva hit piece that dropped this summer and all things Kartrashian. We'll see if any of that will impact ACU at the box office. I think a true testament to his "star power" will be if he gets in as the sole nomination for ACU. That's hard to do for an actor of any stature and it will be even harder if ACU gets sort of middling reviews.

Both "Wonka" and "Dune: Part 2" are associated with prior popular films, with the latter especially having a ready fan base from the books, much like "Game of Thrones." Hence, Timothée could "carry" each of his abovementioned.

But "A Complete Unknown" is not a movie being clamored for (is it??). There are likely no obsessives just waiting to see a tiny detail depicted "incorrectly." Nobody is hankering to buy a Bob Dylan Action Figurine. Sure, we old Boomers will probably go see the movie out of nostalgia, but maybe not so many in these post-Election days of Liberalism rejected. ("The Times, They Are A-Changin'," for sure.)

Oscar? I predict Fiennes.
