Timothée Chalamet stole the show at the 2026 Golden Globes with his comedic timing and sweet nod to girlfriend Kylie Jenner. Chalamet, 30, earned the Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy trophy for Marty Supreme during the Sunday, January 11, ceremony at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, kissing Jenner, 28, before making his way to the stage to accept the honor. "Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I'm in a category with many greats. ... To [director] Josh Safdie, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for this role. Thank you for believing in me." He also thanked A24 and the "amazing cast" of the film, including Fran Drescher, Odessa A'zion, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler the Creator and Kevin O'Leary a.k.a. Mr. Wonderful. "If you would have told me when I was 19 years old I would thanking Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank," Chalamet quipped as the camera panned to O'Leary, 71, laughing in the audience. "Alright you're laughing so I got away with that. Thank you, Kevin." "I would have been stunned but very grateful," he continued. "My dad instilled a spirit of gratitude in me growing up, 'Always be grateful for what you have.' It's allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here, but 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. Thank you so much."
