Bob Dylan, A Complete Unknown and Oscar
Memphis artist Kerri Mahoney has become a go-to designer for television and movie productions, including the Bob Dylan biopic "A Complete Unknown."
Multiple record could be set at this year's Oscars on March 2, 2025.
Timothée Chalamet made another stop on his awards season promotional tour this weekend by pulling a double shift on “Saturday Night Live,” hosting as himself and singing like Bob Dylan, the rock legend he plays in the Oscar-nominated film “A Complete Unknown.”
The singer's increase in streams following "A Complete Unknown" highlights how music biopics can elevate an artist's popularity to new heights
MANKATO, Minn. (FOX 9) - On the heels of the biopic "A Complete Unknown" which chronicled his early years in Minnesota, Bob Dylan has scheduled his first tour stop in Minnesota in more than six years. Dylan recently added three stops in the Midwest to his ongoing "Rough and Rowdy Ways" tour.
The Bob Dylan biopic ‘A Complete Unknown’ has scored eight Oscar nominations, while Elton John and Brandi Carlile received a nod for Best Original Song.
Chalamet’s appearance on the show comes comes less than a week after he received an Academy Award nomination for best actor for his portrayal of music icon Bob Dylan in the biopic “A Complete Unknown.” It marks the second Oscar nod of Chalamet’s career, as he was previously nominated in the same category for the film “Call Me by Your Name.”
Audiences and critics alike have had much to say about the 10 Best Picture nominees vying for an Academy Award this year.
But at first sight, Chalamet’s stint as the frontman of a Dylan cover band coinciding with his Best Actor campaign was less loosey-goose anything-goes ’70s style than akin to the more nakedly promotional Garth-Brooks-as-Chris-Gaines type of deal.
"The Academy has always been a unifying force within the film industry, and we are committed to standing together in the face of hardship."
Since December 18th, streams for Bob Dylan 's “ I Was Young When I Left Home " have increased by 505%. “ Highway 61 Revisited ” and “ It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry are up 440% and 405%, respectively. “ Song to Woody ” has increased 270% with “ Maggie’s Farm ” seeing increases of 215% versus average.
