Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet is a hot topic after winning the 31st Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award for Best Actor for his role in the film ‘Completely Unknown’.

The film ‘Completely Unknown’ (Import/Distribution: Walt Disney Company Korea | Director: James Mangold | Cast: Timothée Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, Dan Fogler, Norbert Leo Butz, Scoot McNairy, etc.) is a musical film that depicts the youth of artist Bob Dylan, who changed the history of popular music with his groundbreaking challenges at the center of a cultural upheaval where he confronted the world with music.

Timothée Chalamet, who was nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Globes and Academy Awards for his role as the main character Bob Dylan, has won the 31st Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, giving him a green light to the Academy Awards. Timothée Chalamet won the trophy after competing with strong candidates such as Adrien Brody for ‘The Brutalist’, Daniel Craig for ‘Queer’, Colman Domingo for ‘Sing Sing’, and Ralph Fiennes for ‘Conclave’. His win is even more meaningful as he is the youngest winner of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award for Best Actor.

Timothée Chalamet, who went up on stage to accept the Best Actor Award, said, “It was five and a half years of my life. “I poured my all into playing Bob Dylan, an artist like no one else, and it was an honor,” he said of his portrayal of Bob Dylan. He added, “Actually, I’m pursuing greatness. I know most people don’t say that, but I want to be one of the greats. I’m inspired by great people, and I’m inspired by the great people here tonight. That’s why I’m even more grateful. It gives me the motivation to keep going.”

In particular, the four major American guild awards, including the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the Directors Guild of America (DGA), are considered barometers for predicting the results of the Academy Awards, so attention is focused on whether Timothée Chalamet will be able to win the Best Actor trophy at the 97th Academy Awards to be held on March 2 (local time). This is Timothée Chalamet‘s second Best Actor nomination since ‘Call Me By Your Name’, so much attention is being paid to this opportunity.

Meanwhile, ‘Completely Unknown’ was nominated in a total of eight categories at the 97th Academy Awards, including Best Actor, Best Picture, Best Director (James Mangold), Best Supporting Actor (Edward Norton), Best Supporting Actress (Monica Barbaro), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Costume Design, and Best Sound. ‘Completely Unknown’ is scheduled to be released in Korea on February 26.
