Adrien's record as the youngest Best Actor winner poses a challenge for Timothée Chalamet, who at 29, faces skepticism regarding his Oscar potential. Despite his nomination for A Complete Unknown, he joins a lineage of young nominees, with discussion around a trend termed the 'DiCaprio' effect, where talented actors endure multiple nominations before their eventual win. This pattern raises questions about the Academy's voting bias, particularly against younger male actors, even as younger women dominate in the Best Actress category.
