US actor Timothée Chalamet expressed his affection for his longtime partner, reality TV star Kylie Jenner, during his acceptance speech at the Critics Choice Awards where he won Best Actor for his role in the film “Marty Supreme.” Chalamet, 30, acknowledged Jenner in the audience, thanking her for her support over the past three years.
“Marty Supreme,” a film where Chalamet portrays a determined shoe salesman striving to become a professional table tennis player in 1950s New York, has garnered positive reviews since its release. Chalamet praised the film’s director, Josh Safdie, for crafting a narrative that resonates with audiences without being didactic.
While Chalamet’s heartfelt declaration of love for Jenner was met with appreciation, fellow nominee Michael B. Jordan appeared less enthusiastic during the speech, leading to humorous reactions from viewers. Chalamet and Jenner, who publicly confirmed their relationship in 2023, have recently made appearances together at various events, including the Palm Springs International Film Festival.
In other awards news, “One Battle After Another” secured multiple wins at the ceremony, with accolades for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Additionally, Jessie Buckley was recognized as Best Actress for her portrayal of Agnes Shakespeare in the historical drama “Hamnet.” Jacob Elordi from “Euphoria” and Amy Madigan from “Weapons” clinched awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actress, respectively.
The fashion scene at the awards was also noteworthy, with Chalamet and Jenner’s matching tangerine leather outfits generating buzz and even inspiring other celebrities to mimic their style. The duo’s unique fashion choice was highlighted by fellow stars Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs, who explained that they borrowed their outfits due to time constraints while filming.
The Critics Choice Awards ceremony showcased outstanding talent across various categories, celebrating exceptional performances and creative achievements in the entertainment industry.
