Timothée Chalamet Wins SAG Award for Lead Actor in ‘Full Unknown’

Timothée Chalamet now has the elusive Hollywood award he could not appear to get, profitable for his position as Bob Dylan — and his record-setting victory got here after his SAG Awards evening bought off to a tough begin.

TC was nominated for Excellent Lead Actor for “A Complete Unknown,” Sunday evening, and he joined his costars Elle Fanning, Edward Norton and Monica Barbaro early within the night to introduce clips from the movie … however studying the teleprompter was, apparently, more durable than taking part in a legendary songwriter.

After flubbing his line and laughing at himself, Timothée joked … “Shoulda done a rehearsal.” It was a fairly clean restoration, and he bought to redeem himself once more later within the evening.

Timothée was up in opposition to some stiff, and veteran, competitors — Adrien Brody, Ralph Fiennes, Daniel Craig and Colman Domingo — so, ya cannot actually blame him for saying, “I was not expecting this at all,” when his title was introduced because the winner.

At simply 29 years previous, he is the youngest to ever win the class, and it is clear how a lot it means to him, as he mentioned … “I know the classiest thing would be to downplay the effort that went into this role and how much this means to me. But the truth is, this was five and a half years of my life. I poured everything I had into playing this incomparable artist Mr. Bob Dylan, a true American hero.”

That is the primary of the key Hollywood performing awards Timothée’s received. You will recall, he brazenly mocked his many, many losses when he hosted ‘SNL’ final month — however, final evening he instructed the gang he plans to take residence a number of extra — “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. I’m inspired by the greats here tonight. I’m as inspired by Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando and Viola Davis as I’m by Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, and I wish to be up there.”

BTW, Kylie Jenner wasn’t at this award present — she attended the Golden Globes with him final month — however, as a substitute, Timothée’s mother Nicole Flender was by his facet … and, naturally, she bought a shout-out in his speech.
