Timothee Chalamet to receive the ‘Italian Oscars’ for cinematic brilliance

‘Timothee is capable of being both an amateur performer and a star’

“Timothee Chalamet’s European origins and American background make him one of the most unpredictable and talented protagonists of international cinema today, capable of being both an auteur performer and a star generating trends and styles,” stated Italian cinema academy president Piera Detassis.

“The Academy is delighted to award him the David for Cinematic Excellence, which is meant to be an acknowledgement of the great actor of quality and innovative films, and, at the same time, of the global protagonist.”

Piera added that his potential was recognized in due time, “thanks to a wonderful Italian film, Call Me by Your Name, directed by one of our most internationally acclaimed directors, Luca Guadagnino,” as per the outlet.

Timothee has proved his loyalty to Guadagnino and Italy, by being a part of the Venice film festival for the exclusive screening of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part 1 in 2021 and then during the Bones and All (2022) premiere rooting for the ministry’s best. Every time he has appeared on the red carpet of the festival, fans have gone gaga over him and chanted names from the alley, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.
