Adrien Brody is the favorite to win Best Actor, but Timothée Chalamet's recent win at the Screen Actors Guild Awards has made him a serious contender. Can Chalamet pull off the upset?
Fresh off a big win at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Timothée Chalamet isn't quite the front-runner to win Best Actor , but his odds are appealing. Can someone other than him or Adrien Brody emerge with the Oscar? The 2025 Academy Awards are live this Sunday, March 2 at 7 p.m. ET. All the guild awards and various precursors are in the books, leaving the Oscars as the last show of awards season. We're breaking down the Best Actor race as part of our ongoing series.
Let's take a look and see if Timothée Chalamet can pull off the mild upset over front-runner Adrien Brody. Brody has been a favorite for his portrayal of a troubled musician in the biopic, . Chalamet, meanwhile, impressed as Bob Dylan in , learning to play the guitar and singing all the songs himself. This kind of dedication doesn't go unnoticed. Brody's performance, though powerful, might be seen as safe and predictable, leaving room for Chalamet's more daring and transformative turn. If any of the other three performers stands a chance — and I don't want to repeat myself with Chalamet as my dark horse as well — it's got to be Ralph Fiennes. The veteran stage and screen actor has never won an Academy Award and has only been nominated twice, once for Best Supporting Actor.Fiennes' performance in as a complex, morally ambiguous character could resonate with Academy voters looking for a nuanced and layered performance. However, it's important to remember that awards season can be unpredictable. Momentum shifts, campaigning strategies play a role, and sometimes the unexpected happens. While Brody remains the favorite, Chalamet's recent win and his compelling performance make him a serious contender.
