Timothée Chalamet had an emotional and memorable moment at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, where he won Best Actor for his performance in Marty Supreme. The actor appeared visibly shaken as he accepted the award at the ceremony held at Santa Monica's Barker Hangar, taking his time as he gathered his thoughts onstage.
"Damn, I'm more nervous than I thought I'd be," Chalamet admitted early in his speech, drawing warm laughter and applause from the audience. He went on to thank his fellow nominees, acknowledging the strength of the category and singling out Michael B. Jordan, whose recent performance he praised after rewatching Sinners.
Chalamet also credited Marty Supreme director Josh Safdie for crafting a story that resonated deeply with him. He described the film as one centered on ambition and human flaws rather than moral instruction. "You made a story about a relatable dream and didn't preach to the audience about what's right and wrong," he said, urging filmmakers to continue telling stories rooted in authenticity.
