Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet added another major milestone to his career on awards night by winning Best Actor at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards. The 30-year-old actor was honored for his performance in Marty Supreme<\/em>, a film that centers on ambition, discipline, and the emotional cost of chasing a lifelong dream. The ceremony took place at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica and was broadcast live on E! and USA Network, with streaming availability on Peacock the following day, according to official broadcast details shared by PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

The win stood out not only for the competitive category, which included Leonardo DiCaprio, Joel Edgerton, Ethan Hawke, Michael B. Jordan, and Wagner Moura, but also for a rare personal acknowledgment during Chalamet\u2019s acceptance speech. Known for keeping his private life out of award-show moments, the actor offered a brief but meaningful tribute that immediately became one of the evening\u2019s most talked-about highlights, as reported by PEOPLE\u2019s live coverage of the event.<\/p>\n

During his acceptance speech, Chalamet first expressed appreciation for his fellow nominees, his professional team, and Marty Supreme<\/em> director Josh Safdie. He then concluded by acknowledging his partner of three years, Kylie Jenner. From the stage, Chalamet credited their relationship as a source of stability and support, emphasizing gratitude for their shared foundation and underscoring how central that support has been to his journey. Cameras captured Jenner, 28, responding warmly from the audience, and the pair shared a brief kiss when his name was announced as the winner, according to PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

Marty Supreme<\/em> features Chalamet as a professional table tennis player striving to win the 1952 world championship, a role that required both physical commitment and emotional nuance. The film\u2019s focus on perseverance aligns closely with the actor\u2019s own approach to the project. In an interview with IndieWire, Chalamet explained that the movie centers on the pursuit of a dream, and he described putting maximum effort into promoting the film through merchandise, virtual appearances, and media outreach to honor the spirit of his character.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
