Presented by Jennifer Lopez, the award marked a personal milestone for Timothée Chalamet. He opened by recognizing the strength of the category and the artists who shared it with him. “This category is stacked. I look up to all of you, thank you,” he said, setting a respectful tone. He then turned to director Josh Safdie with genuine emotion. “To Josh Safdie, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for this role. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for this portrait, for your mind, for your worldview.”
Chalamet made space for everyone who shaped Marty Supreme. He thanked co-writer Ronald Bronstein and cast members Odessa A’zion, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler, the Creator, Fran Drescher, and Kevin O’Leary. His humor surfaced when he joked about O’Leary’s presence. “If you would have told me when I was 19 years old, I’d be thanking Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank…All right, you’re laughing, so I got away with that. Thank you, Kevin,” he said, drawing warm laughter from the crowd.

The speech deepened as he reflected on gratitude, a value he credited to his upbringing. “I would have been stunned, but I’ve been very grateful. My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up — always be grateful for what you have,” he continued. “It’s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here.”

The night’s most talked-about moment came at the end. Chalamet closed with a rare personal note that resonated beyond the ballroom. “I’d be lying if I didn’t say those moments didn’t make this moment that much sweeter for my parents, for my partner, I love you.” Cameras immediately caught Kylie Jenner mouthing, “I’m so happy,” a quiet exchange that spoke louder than any headline.
This win was Chalamet’s fifth Golden Globe nomination and his first victory, following nods for Call Me by Your Name, Beautiful Boy, Wonka, and A Complete Unknown. He triumphed over George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Lee Byung-Hun, and Jesse Plemons, a list that underscores the weight of the achievement.
For Timothée Chalamet, this Golden Globe was not just another trophy. It was a signal of growth, gratitude, and a career entering a confident new chapter.
