‘Rockstar’ Timothee Chalamet’s Bob Dylan tribute performance on SNL has fans convinced he’ll win an Oscar

Fans went wild over Timothée Chalamet’s singing skills after the 29-year-old star pulled double duty as both host (for the third time) and musical guest on the January 25th episode of Saturday Night Live.

While he’s primarily known for his acting—having recently earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown—Chalamet also sang in the biopic, so his musical talents weren’t a total surprise.

Still, it was one of his first live musical performances and he knocked it out of the park as viewers were treated to songs written by the legendary artist.

You might not know the Bob Dylan songs I’m performing, but they’re my personal favorites,’ Chalamet said in his monologue. ‘And I’m so grateful Saturday Night Live is still doing weird stuff like this 50 years in. They’re either really nice for letting me do this or incredibly mean and this is all a big prank.’

Introduced by Adam Sandler, Chalamet kicked off with a raucous rock-and-roll rendition of Outlaw Blues before slowing the tempo for a soulful Three Angels, performed sitting next to James Blake on piano.

Later, he took the stage with a guitar in hand and wowed the crowd with Dylan’s masterpiece Tomorrow is a Long Time.

The performance had fans flocking to social media in droves, collectively urging the Academy to just hand him the Oscar already.

One fan simply posted, ‘Congrats to Timothee chalamet for winning the academy award for best actor.’

Another mused, ‘timothée chalamet performing in snl with james blake on the keyboard is trying his best and pulling out all the stops to try to steal that oscar from adrien brody, i’ll tell you that much.’

Yet another wrote, ‘Its honestly genius to have Timothee Chalamet host AND sing Bob Dylan songs for a role he’s just been Oscar nominated for. They should do that more often for musical biopics (especially because there’s so many upcoming) it’s such great exposure for the film & great marketing.’

The accolades didn’t stop there, as other fans gushed ‘Timothée Chalamet singing Bob Dylan on SNL is enchanting me rn,’ while another shared, ‘Timothée Chalamet cover of Bob Dylan on SNL… I will literally never recover.’

‘Timothée Chalamet rockstar era!! I’m so proud of him!, added one more, as another wrote, Timothee Chalamet is really killing the game! I would pay to see him perform live singing and playing guitar! Dudes a f***** rockstar and phenomenal actor, there’s nothing he can’t do!’

The unforgettable performance left fans eagerly asking when Chalamet would be launching his own tour.

Timothée may have to hit pause on any possible tour plans as he gears up for the Oscars.

He officially joined a rare Oscars club with his Best Actor nomination for A Complete Unknown on Thursday.

This follows his previous nomination for the same honor at the 90th Academy Awards in 2018 for Call Me By Your Name.

With this latest nomination, Chalamet becomes the first man to secure two Best Actor nominations before turning 30—an achievement last reached by the late, legendary James Dean.

The iconic star, who tragically passed away at 24 in 1955, was nominated posthumously for East of Eden (1955) and Giant (1956) in the two ceremonies following his death.

Should Chalamet win, he’ll make history as the youngest-ever Best Actor winner, besting Adrien Brody‘s 2003 record of winning at 29 for The Pianist.

Meanwhile, fans were still buzzing to see if Chalamet would join the SNL afterparties with girlfriend Kylie Jenner.

The couple has largely kept their two-year romance out of the spotlight.

However, they made a rare public appearance together at the Golden Globes, sparking speculation that Kylie might make an appearance at the Oscars as well.

‘Kylie and Timothée are still trying to figure out who they are as a couple,’ an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com. ‘There is no trouble in paradise, but there are things they still need to navigate.’

The insider continued, ‘They are both very attracted to each other, but Timothée is still trying to figure out his career, which is a lot to deal with. To add a relationship into the mix with someone like Kylie is a lot to juggle.’

The source added that their decision to keep things private has helped their relationship stay strong.
