Brody beats Chalamet
The studio behind Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown had sufficient faith in their film that they hastened its release by a year, therefore putting it – and its star Timothée Chalamet – in this year’s awards conversation. Awed notices for both appeared to have proved the wisdom of such a move – but Searchlight might just have tripped up at the final furlong, by opting to place the film in the best drama category at the Globes, rather than best musical or comedy. The win for Adrien Brody in the former category on Sunday is a considerable blow for Chalamet’s prospects, particularly as Brody used the podium to deliver such a compelling speech – and therefore a convincing audition for his second Oscar win.
