Can Timothee Chalamet's Performance Help Him Create History In Academy Awards?

Timothee Chalamet has emerged as the leading contender in the Academy Awards this year. Going by the predictions, Tim will become the youngest Oscar winner in the Best Actor category of all time while surpassing the previous record-holder Adrien Brody who won it for The Pianist.

Timothee celebrated his 29th birthday in December 2024. Adrien received the trophy at the age of 29 in 2003, 22 days before his 30th birthday. This will be Tim's another historic feat after being nominated as the third youngest Best Actor for his 2017 film, Call Me by Your Name at the Oscars at the age of 22.
