Multiple nominee Chalamet is campaigning hard for the Best Actor Oscar.
My Oscar Book:
He’s just won the prestigious SAG Best Actor (a shocking triumph over frontrunner Adrien Brody, “The Brutalist”).
He is interviewing Kendrick Lamar for the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans, and even flashing his Beyblade collection on Hollywood red carpets.
Now the star of A Complete Unknown is on TV as well. Chalamet’s Oscar-nominated Bob Dylan biopic is available to rent at home, just in time for this Sunday’s Oscars.
I wouldn’t count A Complete Unknown out of the race. I may not have seen the film as many times as Club Chalamet has, but I still believe the Dylan film could walk away as the dark-horse Best Picture winner.
In classic Bob Dylan fashion, the singer agrees. “There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown Dylan wrote on X in December. “Timothée Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me.”
A Complete Unknown is now available to stream digitally at home.
The biopic picks up with Dylan at an oft-mythologized point in his life: when the young musician transplanted from Minnesota to New York City at just 19 years old. From there, the film introduces a few of the most important figures in Dylan’s ascent, including Pete Seeger (Edward Norton), Sylvie Russo (Elle Fanning), Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro), and Johnny Cash (Boyd Holbrook).
A Complete Unknown is crossing this week an impressive $100 million at the box office. The film’s run, which likely will include significant time in the awards-season tr, is just ramping up.
