Hey movie fans! The 2025 Oscars happened and let me tell you there was plenty to talk about but one person who had a particularly interesting night was Timothée Chalamet . Our Timmy was nominated for Best Actor for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown and while he didn't take home the gold he definitely had a memorable evening. Let's break down Timothée's Oscars experience from the nomination to the after-parties!
Oscar Nominee Timothée Chalamet: Up for Best Actor But Adrien Brody Took Home the Trophy
So the big moment everyone was waiting for if you are a Timothée fan was the Best Actor announcement. Timmy was nominated for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. It was a pretty stacked category with some seriously talented actors also in the running including Ralph Fiennes Colman Domingo and Sebastian Stan. But in the end the Oscar went to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist.
Even though Timothée didn't win he handled it like a total pro. Footage even caught him applauding for Brody after the win. No drama no shade just support for a fellow actor. That's our Timmy!
Family First at the Oscars: Kylie Jenner's Sweet Seat Swap for Timothée's Mom and All the Love
One of the cutest things from the Oscars was the major Family Support Timothée had. He brought his mom Nicole Flender and his sister Pauline Chalamet to the ceremony. And of course his girlfriend Kylie Jenner was there too making it a real family affair.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed something interesting during the Best Actor announcement. Kylie Jenner who was initially seated next to Timothée actually switched seats right before the category was announced. Why the switch? Turns out it was the sweetest reason ever. Kylie moved back a row so that Timothée's mom Nicole could sit right next to him for that special moment! How thoughtful is that?
Photos even show Kylie and Nicole chatting and getting along proving Kylie is definitely part of the Chalamet family squad. After Adrien Brody won footage captured Kylie leaning in to kiss Timothée and his mom giving him a comforting kiss on the cheek. Win or lose Timothée was surrounded by love and support which is pretty awesome.
From SAG Win to Oscar Night: Timothée's Incredible Awards Season Run for Bob Dylan Role
While the Oscar might have gone to someone else it is important to remember that Timothée Chalamet has been getting major recognition for his Bob Dylan performance all awards season. Just last month he actually won the 2025 SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role beating out Adrien Brody and the other nominees in that category.
In his SAG acceptance speech Timothée was super heartfelt. He thanked his mom who he brought as his date to the SAG Awards and who has worked in the stage union for 40 years. He mentioned that he poured five and a half years of his life into playing Bob Dylan calling it "the honor of a lifetime."
Timothée also got real in his speech saying he is "in pursuit of greatness" and wants to be "one of the greats" like his idols Daniel Day-Lewis Marlon Brando and Viola Davis. He sees awards as "fuel" to keep pushing himself which is a pretty inspiring outlook.
Oscars Highlights Beyond Timothée: "Anora" Sweeps and Conan O'Brien's Hosting Gig
Timothée's nomination was definitely a highlight but the 2025 Oscars had plenty of other moments worth talking about. The big winner of the night was Anora. This movie swept the awards taking home five Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director for Sean Baker.
Sean Baker himself had a record-tying night winning four Oscars for Anora in different categories. He tied Walt Disney's record for most wins in a single year and he even won all his awards for the same movie which is super impressive. Keep an eye out for Anora if you have not seen it yet it sounds like a must-watch.
Conan O'Brien hosted the Oscars for the first time and he brought his signature humor to the show. From the opening skit to his monologue Conan seemed to be having a blast and his jokes definitely landed with the audience. He is a seasoned awards show host having hosted the Emmys twice before so it was cool to see him take on the Oscars.
