Timothée Chalamet made the ultimate “one of us” gesture for Bob Dylan fans while delivering a powerful message to Oscar voters with two incredible musical performances on Saturday Night Live.

Marking his first ever public appearance, the 29-year-old actor stars in the Dylan biopic A complete unknownbegan with a medley of “Outlaw Blues” and “Three Angels.” The latter track is a particularly deep cut, a gospel-tinged song that appears on Dylan’s 1970 album New morning. Later, Chalamet returned to sing “Tomorrow Is a Long Time,” a beloved Dylan bootleg dating back to the early 1960s that didn’t really receive a studio release until being included in the 2010s The Bootleg Series Vol. 9. For both performances, Chalamet was joined by a full band that included James Blake on the keyboard.

Chalamet hinted at his left-field song choices during his opening monologue, saying, “You may not know the Bob Dylan songs I perform, but they’re my personal favorites.” None of the songs appear on soundtrack for A complete unknown.

Chalamet is nominated for Best Actor Academy Awards 2025. If he wins, he will be the youngest actor ever to receive the award.
