Staff Report: PNN

Hollywood’s most talked-about young actor, Timothée Chalamet, has finally etched his name on the Golden Globe stage. He has won this prestigious award for the first time, receiving the Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy award for his role in the film Marty Supreme.

The 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony began early Monday (Bangladesh time) at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California, USA. When the winner’s name was announced, excitement spread among Chalamet’s fans. His main competitor in this category was Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, among other established actors.

In Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie, Chalamet plays a talented table tennis player and has received critical acclaim for his performance. Although he had been nominated four times previously, he never won, making this victory particularly significant in his career.

While accepting the award, Chalamet emotionally mentioned that the value of gratitude, instilled by his father since childhood, played a crucial role in motivating him to keep going despite failures. He said the joy of winning after coming home empty-handed in previous ceremonies is even deeper this time.

In his speech, director Josh Safdie, the screenwriter, and co-stars were acknowledged. Chalamet said he was especially grateful to the director for giving him the opportunity to play this role and trust in his abilities.

In addition to acting, Chalamet actively promoted the film, which has already earned $84 million globally at the box office and continues to grow. Competitors for the Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy award included George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Lee Byung-hun, and Jesse Plemons. Despite strong competition, Chalamet’s victory is seen as a major achievement in his career.

Critics had praised him, and due to his success in Critics’ Choice Awards and other accolades, he was considered a strong contender from the start. This Golden Globe victory fulfilled those expectations.
