Many fans were upset after Timothée Chalamet missed a historic chance to become the youngest Best Actor winner at the 2025 Oscars.
Timothée Chalamet loses Best Actor to Adrien Brody
Timothée Chalamet, 29, had a chance to make Oscars history. He was nominated for Best Actor for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.
However, the award went to Adrien Brody for *The Brutalist*. Ironically, Brody still holds the record as the youngest Best Actor winner. He first won in 2003 for *The Pianist* at age 29.
Had Chalamet won, he would have beaten Brody by a few months. He turns 30 on December 27.
Social media reaction
Many fans on social media expressed disappointment after Timothée Chalamet missed his chance to become the youngest Best Actor winner at the 2025 Oscars.
One person said: He’s racking up a lot of great movies lately… he’s well on his way!!
A second wrote: I honestly was shocked. I truly believed he was going to win. He deserved an Oscar.
While a third commented: It’s because he left his good luck charm, Curious George, at home.
Another added: Adrien Brody deserved to win!!!
Someone else said: He’s got plenty of years to come for an Oscar.
Other nominees miss out on the award
Chalamet wasn’t the only nominee left disappointed. Sebastian Stan, Colman Domingo, and Ralph Fiennes also lost in the Best Actor category.
This marks Chalamet’s second Oscar nomination. He was first nominated in 2017 for Call Me by Your Name. At the time, he was the third-youngest nominee in the category’s history.
Kylie Jenner supports Chalamet at the Oscars
Despite the loss, Chalamet had support from his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. The couple sat together in the front row of the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Earlier in the evening, they were spotted sharing intimate moments. Chalamet whispered into Jenner’s ear and kissed her cheek before the ceremony started.
Jenner, who skipped the red carpet, stunned in a black gown with cutouts across her midsection. Chalamet, known for his bold fashion, wore a pastel-yellow suit.
Chalamet and Jenner’s growing relationship
The couple has been dating since early 2023. They have been seen together at the U.S. Open, a Beyoncé concert, and other high-profile events.
Sources say their relationship is serious. An insider revealed in January that Jenner sees Chalamet as “the one.” She believes their romance is unlike any she has had before.
In short, although Chalamet didn’t make history at the Oscars, he remains one of Hollywood’s brightest stars.
