I couldn’t have made it here without you.
The Critics Choice Awards took place last weekend in Santa Monica, California, an event that honors the best in film and television, as voted on by professional critics.
Shoot ton scoop
As-tu vu quelque chose? Discrétion assurée.
The awards are handed out by the Critics Choice Association (CCA), a North American network of journalists and critics (mostly). This barometer ceremony is often viewed as a forecasting indicator for the Oscars and the Emmy Awards.
Actor Timothée Chalamet, a rising film star, was among the honorees at the event (Best Actor), notably for his monumental turn in Marty Supreme, a recent hit from Joshua Safdie.
In fact, he became the youngest actor ever to win this award at the Critics Choice Awards.
A Tribute to Kylie Jenner
For three years now, Timothée Chalamet has been dating Kylie Jenner, the iconic figure of the famous Jenner-Kardashian clan. A relationship that from the start sparked immense media curiosity.
When he accepted his prize, the 30-year-old actor delivered a particularly heartfelt thank-you message, taking the time to emphasize the importance of the people around him. In a speech filled with gratitude and sincerity, he thanked his collaborators, his family, and those who support him daily, including his partner.
A defining moment that reminded us that behind the glare of success and the spotlight, the actor places a premium on love, stability, and gratitude.
“Thank you to my partner of three years. I love you. I couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Timothée Chalamet said.
When the camera swung to Kylie Jenner, she replied: “I love you!”
Many also believe that the word he chose to describe the person who shares his life wasn’t accidental and may have been carefully chosen to avoid implying that they are now engaged.
A Nod to DiCaprio and Company
Timothée Chalamet not only took home Best Actor, but he also outpaced other heavyweight names in the industry, including Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon and Black Phone 2), Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent), and Michael B. Jordan (Sinners).
Chalamet did not miss the chance to acknowledge their work, particularly Michael B. Jordan, for his dual role in the horror film Sinners.
“Michael, incredible [performance]. I just rewatched Sinners; I hadn’t caught that scene in the credits. I’m glad I stayed until the end the second time,” Chalamet revealed.
Clearly nervous about addressing the audience, Chalamet also took time to thank Josh Safdie, director of Marty Supreme, for the opportunity to work alongside him.
“I’m more nervous than I thought. You (Safdie) crafted the story of an imperfect man with a dream we can identify with, without preaching to the audience about what is right or wrong. I think we should all tell stories like this,” he said.
“Thank you for this dream!”
This award thus seals far more than a standout performance: it confirms Timothée Chalamet’s meteoric rise to the peak of the film industry. At just 30, the actor stands as one of the most influential and respected figures of his generation, deftly navigating between auteur cinema and major international productions.
His bold choices, artistic commitment, and ability to reinvent himself from project to project have helped build a solid, credible career, praised by critics and audiences alike.
This prize marks a pivotal moment, signaling a path that promises even greater ambitions for an actor whose talent and sensitivity will continue to shape cinema in the years ahead.
Do you think this will be the first of many more awards to come for Timothée Chalamet?
