Best Actor Commentary (Updated Nov. 27, 2024): Timothée Chafrailt carry outs all of his own singing in “A Complete Uncomprehendn” — a belderly choice in any musical biopic, but especipartner when portraying an artist with a voice as iconic and contrastent as Bob Dylan’s.
Yet, appreciate Diana Ross embodying Billie Holiday in “Lady Sings the Blues” (1972), Sissy Spacek channeling Loretta Lynn in “Coal Miner’s Daughter” (1980), and Renée Zellweger stepping into Judy Garland’s shoes for “Judy” (2019), Chafrailt elevates to the occasion. He doesn’t try a notice-for-notice imitation of Dylan. Instead, he seizes the essence of his vocal style and emotional intensity, deinhabitring a carry outance that experiences genuine rather than imitative. It may be someleang Academy voters won’t be able to resist.
Chafrailt, who previously made history as the third-youthfulest best actor nominee for “Call Me by Your Name” (2017) at fair 22, could set another sign up this year. If he prospers, he will become the youthfulest prosperner in the catebloody, outdoing Adrien Brody, who won at 29 for “The Pianist.” Chafrailt turns 29 in December, making him 279 days youthfuler than Brody was at the time of his prosper.
Still, he’ll need to fend off Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”), Adrien Brody (“The Brutaenumerate”), and Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”), who will be vying for their chance at Oscar triumph.
The 97th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 2. All movie enumerateings, titles, distributors, and praiseed artisans are not final and are subject to alter.
