Timothée Chalamet is answering the question everyone wants to know around awards season: what do you do with a prepared acceptance speech when you don’t actually win?
Chalamet, 28, recently appeared on SiriusXM’s The Morning Mashup to promote his upcoming Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, where cohost Nicole Ryan asked the actor whether he writes his awards show acceptance speeches ahead of time.
“What a great question ’cause like you said, this is my fourth Golden Globe nomination,” the actor said. “Look, I’ll just say this… there’s nothing more uniquely hilarious and something you cannot share with anyone when you get home and you tear up the little thing that you never had to use and you think to yourself, ‘You narcissistic arrogant prick. On what planet did you think you were gonna use this?’ “

Chalamet has received nominations for his performance as Dylan, now 83, at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards and Critics Choice Awards, both of which will be held in January. He was previously nominated at the Golden Globes for his performances in Wonka, Beautiful Boy and Call Me by Your Name; the latter two movies also landed him Critics Choice nominations, and Call Me by Your Name saw Chalamet receive his first Academy Awards nomination back in 2018.
