Timothée Chalamet makes fun of awards show losses, performs Bob Dylan songs on ‘SNL’

Timothée Chalamet brought the house down as the host and musical guest of “Saturday Night Live.”

The actor, who was just nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown,” solidified himself as a multitalented entertainer on the NBC sketch comedy show over the weekend.

In his opening monologue, Chalamet poked fun at his failure to win trophies at Hollywood events over the years.

“It’s an enormous honor going to these award shows. It’s such a great experience, but I just keep losing, and each time it gets harder to pretend it doesn’t sting,” he quipped before a compilation video showed his reactions to coming up short to Gary Oldman and Mahershala Ali.

“But the most embarrassing part is I’ve had this sad little speech in my pocket for four years that I’ve never gotten a chance to read,” Chalamet added.

The “Wonka” star, 29, also performed Dylan’s songs “Outlaw Blues,” “Three Angels” and “Tomorrow Is a Long Time” — accompanied by James Blake on the piano — after playing the musician in the biopic, which premiered in December 2024.

Chalamet said Dylan’s music and career have been a “guiding light” to him.

Chalamet teased his “SNL” appearance earlier this week with a hilarious promotional video involving his look-alikes. The teaser was a callback to the headline-making moment when he showed up to a “Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest” in New York City last October.

Chalamet’s girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, was not shown in audience after recently joining him for a romantic getaway in Paris last week.

The Kylie Cosmetics founder, 27, has been a huge supporter of Chalamet’s acting career and was by his side at the 2025 Golden Globes earlier this month.

Page Six exclusively reported that Jenner was thrilled over her beau’s best actor Oscar nomination for his role in “A Complete Unknown.”

The honor marks the second time Chalamet has been up for the coveted award as he received a nomination in the same category for his 2018 breakout film, “Call Me By Your Name.”

Our source told us the makeup mogul was “screaming with excitement” when he received the news and “had a feeling Timothée was going to be nominated.”

“Actually seeing his name pop up on the TV screen was incredible,” the insider added.

The source also told Page Six that Jenner is “ecstatic” and “so proud of him” for being nominated again.
