Timothée Chalamet is making waves in the movie world. He is known for his dedication and hard work. In his latest movie, \"Marty Supreme, \" he plays a competitive table-tennis player. Many people think he will get his third Oscar nomination for this role. But there is a big challenge ahead. Winning the Oscar is not easy. The Academy, which gives out the Oscars, has a history. They usually give the best actor award to older men. Chalamet is only 30 years old. If he wins, he will be one of the youngest actors to ever win this award. Only one other man in his 20s has won best actor. That was Adrien Brody for \"The Pianist. \"
The Academy has different rules for men and women. They often nominate young actresses. In the last 10 years, seven women under 30 were nominated for best actress. Three of them even won. But for men, it is much harder. Only two men under 30 were nominated in the same time period. Besides Chalamet, there was Daniel Kaluuya for \"Get Out\" and Paul Mescal for \"Aftersun. \" Why does this happen? At movie parties and events, older male voters often talk to young actresses. But they show less interest in young actors. They might think young actors are not experienced enough. It can take years for young actors to gain the respect of older voters. Chalamet has already been nominated twice. He was nominated for \"Call Me by Your Name\" and \"A Complete Unknown. \" But winning the Oscar is still a big challenge. He needs to overcome the idea that he is too young. Only time will tell if he can break this trend.
