SBIFF Honors Timothée Chalamet
Timothée Chalamet Honored as the Arlington Artist of the Year (8:00 PM, Arlington Theatre).
Cinema maverick Timothée Chalamet was honored with the prestigious Arlington Artist of the Year Award at the 40th annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF). 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. He has starred in five “Best Picture” Oscar® nominees: Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird, Little Women, Dune, and Don’t Look Up. Additional credits include Bones and All, The French Dispatch, Beautiful Boy, The King, Interstellar, and Dune: Part Two. He was recently in production on A24 and Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, inspired by the late American table tennis legend Martin 'Marty' Reisman.
