Timothée Chalamet, the acclaimed star of Marty Supreme and Dune, has officially added Grammy nominee to his ever-growing list of accolades. The 29-year-old actor earned a nomination for his work on the soundtrack of the 2024 Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, in the Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media category. The announcement came on Friday, November 7, ahead of the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, set to take place on February 1, 2026, at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena.

Chalamet Channels Bob Dylan on Screen and in Song

In A Complete Unknown, Chalamet portrayed legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, capturing the musician’s rise in the 1960s American folk scene. Directed by James Mangold, the biopic earned widespread critical praise, with Chalamet receiving nominations for the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, and winning a Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance.

Notably, Chalamet performed all of Dylan’s songs himself, playing guitar and singing live on set. Co-stars, including Edward Norton as Pete Seeger and Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, also performed their own musical parts, emphasizing the film’s authentic sound.

“I wanted the music to feel real, raw, and connected to the era,” Chalamet said in a past interview. “Singing Dylan’s songs myself was an incredible challenge and an honor.”

Competing in the Visual Media Soundtrack Category

The Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media category features music from a variety of recent films and television projects. Alongside A Complete Unknown, other nominees include:

• F1® The Album

This nomination marks Chalamet’s first foray into the music-focused Grammy field, complementing his already impressive list of accolades for acting and producing.
