Timothée Chalamet Achieves Third Oscar Nod, Youngest Since Marlon Brando
Timothée Chalamet has achieved a remarkable milestone in his acting career. His third Oscar nomination places him among the youngest actors to ever reach this feat.
Chalamet’s Oscar Nominations
Chalamet, now 30 years and 26 days old, has been nominated in the Best Actor category for three films:
- Call Me by Your Name (2018)
- A Complete Unknown (2022)
- Marty Supreme (2023)
This latest nomination cements Chalamet’s status as an extraordinary talent in Hollywood.
Youngest Since Marlon Brando
Chalamet’s achievement is particularly notable as he becomes the youngest male actor to secure three nominations since Marlon Brando. Brando’s nominations include:
- A Streetcar Named Desire (1952)
- Viva Zapata! (1953)
- Julius Caesar (1954)
At the time of his third nomination in 1954, Brando was just 29 years old, a month and a half shy of his 30th birthday. Chalamet follows in these historic footsteps, showcasing his talent and potential.
Comparing Young Achievers
Despite Chalamet’s impressive feat, the record for the youngest actor remains with Jennifer Lawrence. She earned her third Oscar nomination at the age of 23 for her role in American Hustle in January 2014. This was after nominations for:
- Winter’s Bone (2011)
- Silver Linings Playbook (2013)
Lawrence ultimately won the Best Actress award for Silver Linings Playbook, further establishing her legacy in film.
Upcoming Competition
In the 2026 Best Actor category, Chalamet will compete against seasoned talents including:
- Leonardo DiCaprio for One Battle after Another
- Ethan Hawke for Blue Moon
- Michael B. Jordan for Sinners
- Wagner Moura for The Secret Agent
As the awards season approaches, all eyes will be on Chalamet and his competitors, eager to see who will take home the coveted Oscar.
