Mick Jagger presented the Best Original Song award at the 2025 Oscars and humorously revealed that Bob Dylan was the preferred choice for the role but declined. While Dylan was invited to present and perform, he opted out. The biopic about Dylan, 'A Complete Unknown,' featuring Timothée Chalamet, was nominated for eight Oscars but did not win any. Conan O'Brien, the host, joked about both Dylan and Chalamet's preparation for the role during the ceremony, acknowledging that while Dylan had interest, he ultimately chose not to attend.
"I wasn't the first choice to give this award out. The producers wanted Bob Dylan to do it, but Bob didn't want to."
"To play Bob Dylan, Timothée Chalamet learned how to sing. In fact, the singing was so good he almost lost the part."
