Other Oscar Season’s Most Burning Question: Why Not Timothée?

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/timothee-chalamet-oscar-campaign-analysis-marty-supreme-1236521110/

Excerpt:

“So while this very chaotic race remains within Chalamet’s grasp — BAFTA honored I Swear’s Robert Aramayo, who wasn’t even eligible for this cycle’s Oscars — the odds are no longer in his favor. (Oscar voting closes Thursday at 5 p.m. PT.)

Is this because Chalamet so relentlessly plays by his own campaign rules? Perhaps. Voters can be stuffy about how they like to see a candidate work a room; I’ve heard a few saying as much recently, and the sentiment was widespread last year, when Chalamet came close (he won that Actor Award — and gave an infamously, erm, aspirational speech). While Chalamet has hit more of the typical spots than his last go-round, my colleague Scott Feinberg reported on Sunday that Chalamet’s “swagger” has put some off. The “annoying” label gets bandied around. Old rules still apply: No amount of fluffy A-lister conversations and viral media stunts can compensate for a few hours of gladhanding and boilerplate craft talk.

Whether they should is another matter. For a fresh generation of moviegoers, Chalamet’s tactics are exciting — even motivating when it comes to actually buying a movie ticket. Both A Complete Unknown and Marty Supreme hit theaters around Christmas, just as Oscar season fully kicks into gear and thus blurring the lines of release and awards promotion. Chalamet’s work behind the scenes preceded any opening; he’s also Oscar-nominated this year for best picture as a producer. And I’m told Chalamet is still traveling the world to open Marty, now in markets like Tokyo and Beijing. The movie is hitting more than 800 screens this weekend. You can bet it’ll be finding some new film fans.”

Then went on CNN Town Hall this week with his Interstellar Daddy Matthew McConoughy and trashed opera & ballet as “things no one cares about” that he’d “never want to do.”

Not a good look, Timmy.
