January 24, 2025: Timothée Chalamet is clearly on a roll, and his latest SNL promo perfectly captures the excitement and humor surrounding his Oscar nomination. The fact that he’s not only nominated for Best Actor again but also hosting SNL (with a musical guest spot!) speaks volumes about how much his career has skyrocketed.
The promo with Sarah Sherman is classic Chalamet—playful and self-aware. His reaction to Sherman’s line about having an Oscar shows that he doesn’t take himself too seriously, which makes him even more likable. The chemistry between the two is fun and refreshing, and it’s clear that Chalamet is having a great time with all the attention, even as he juggles multiple exciting projects.
Plus, the “Chalamet look-alike” skit in the first promo is such a clever nod to how the internet has embraced his iconic look. It’s cool to see him lean into it with humor instead of shying away from it. Given that he’s also showcasing his musical talents on the SNL stage, it feels like a perfect blend of everything fans love about him.
