Timothée Chalamet made a bold statement at the Berlin Film Festival, appearing in a pink tank top and hoodie despite the city's freezing temperatures. He was joined by Kylie Jenner as he promoted A Complete Unknown, where he portrays Bob Dylan—a film seen as a strong Oscar contender.

Chalamet enthusiastically engaged with fans, signing autographs and embracing his playful, rebellious yet approachable image. Variety praised his unique awards campaign, which contrasts with traditional Oscar season strategies, reminiscent of the joyful energy he brought to Wonka.

While Hollywood grapples with controversies like AI in filmmaking and festival politics, Chalamet is winning audiences over with fan interactions and public appearances, from SNL to college events and sports tournaments—setting himself apart in the awards race.
