Timothée Chalamet made waves as both the host and musical guest on the iconic NBC sketch comedy show, “Saturday Night Live.” This appearance comes on the heels of his recent Academy Award nomination for his role as Bob Dylan in the biopic “A Complete Unknown.” Chalamet’s multifaceted talent was on full display, captivating audiences with his charm and humor.
A humorous take on award shows
In his opening monologue, Chalamet didn’t shy away from poking fun at his past experiences at award shows. He humorously lamented, “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.” This relatable sentiment resonated with many viewers, especially those who have faced similar disappointments.
His self-deprecating humor was further highlighted by a compilation video showcasing his reactions to losing to esteemed actors like Gary Oldman and Mahershala Ali.
Musical performances that resonate

This performance not only showcased his vocal abilities but also deepened his connection to the legendary musician he portrayed.
Support from Kylie Jenner
While Chalamet’s girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, was notably absent from the audience, her support for his career has been unwavering.
Recently, she celebrated his Oscar nomination with excitement, reportedly “screaming with excitement” upon hearing the news. The couple, who were first linked romantically in 2023, have been seen together at various public events, including the US Open and a Beyoncé concert, although they have yet to make their official red carpet debut as a couple.
