Five leading men made the cut for Best Actor at the 2025 Oscars: Adrien Brody (The Brutalist), Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown), Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), Ralph Fiennes (Conclave), and Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice).

Timothée Chalamet's Oscar nomination on Jan. 23 makes him the youngest two-time Best Actor nominee at the Academy Awards since James Dean received two posthumous nominations in the two years immediately following his death in 1955 at 24.

Adrien Brody’s 21-year-old Oscar record is under threat as Timothée Chalamet vies to become the youngest Best Actor winner at the 2025 Oscars.

Timothée Chalamet wants that Oscar, as proven by his double duty performance on 'Saturday Night Live.' Read our highlights here.

Timothée Chalamet may have just become the Oscars Best Actor frontrunner after an unexpected revelation sheds a harsh light on one of his competitors.

As the 97th Academy Awards approaches, the eagerly anticipated ceremony on March 2 will bring monumental shifts in film. From "Anora" to "The Brutalist," this year's lineup will surely be the first of many changes within movie creation.

Timothée Chalamet made another stop on his awards season promotional tour this weekend by pulling a double shift on “Saturday Night Live,” hosting as himself and singing like Bob Dylan, the rock legend he plays in the Oscar-nominated film “A Complete Unknown.”

"A Complete Unknown" star Timothée Chalamet is only the fourth man to get two leading actor nominations before turning 30.

January began with the first major red carpet of 2025 at the opening night gala of the Palm Springs International Film Festival. A few days later, Hollywood’s biggest stars celebrated the best of television and movies at the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills.
