Did Timothée Chalamet earn a 2026 Grammy nomination? Star's portrayal as Bob Dylan lands unexpected industry attention

Timothée Chalamet is now a Grammy nominee. The 2026 Grammy Awards nominations list was released on Friday, November 7, by the Recording Academy. The list included some first-time nominees, among whom was Timothée Chalamet.

The 29-year-old actor was nominated for his work on the 2024 Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. He received a nomination under the Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.

In a press conference, Timothée spoke about how playing Bob Dylan changed him:

"The truth is, I'm not interested in how it changed me or explaining how it changed me, as much as I know it did. The way it did wasn't academic, and so much of the pressure in Hollywood or show business is people want to know where you're at.”

He added:

"The point being, it's not really interesting to talk about because there's no conclusion I've made. The only conclusion I've made is to keep my head down, the way Bob did after he made 'Blonde on Blonde' and he disappeared after the motorcycle accident.”
