SBIFF Honors Timothée Chalamet

Chalamet received the award during an in-person tribute and career retrospective on Tuesday, February 11, 2025. The evening highlighted his performances in two highly acclaimed films: A Complete Unknown (Dir. James Mangold) and Dune: Part Two (Dir. Denis Villeneuve). This honor recognized Chalamet's unparalleled talent and his enduring impact on the cinematic landscape.

"I'm a big fan of Bob Dylan, and I was blown away by Chalamet's transformation in A Complete Unknown. His performance was galvanizing and electrifying, especially coming on the heels of the major box office triumph earlier this year with Dune: Part Two. Truly, this is the age of Chalamet,” said SBIFF Executive Director Roger Durling.

Timothée Chalamet became the youngest “Best Actor” Oscar® nominee since 1939 for his breakout role in Call Me by Your Name.

Additional credits include Bones and All, The French Dispatch, Beautiful Boy, The King, Interstellar, and Dune: Part Two.
