Timothée Chalamet‘s Golden Globes win marked a career milestone for him. Along with this, it created one of the night’s most quietly memorable moments. As the actor accepted his first-ever Golden Globe at the 2026 ceremony, a brief mention of Kylie Jenner in his gratitude speech quickly became the part people talked about most.
Timothee Chalamet thanks Kylie Jenner after Golden Globes win
After years of acclaimed performances and near misses, Timothee Chalamet finally took home his first Golden Globe. He won Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his role in “Marty Supreme.” The actor kept his remarks short and grounded. He began by thanking Ronald Bronstein, the film’s co-writer, and then the rest of the creative team. He then shifted his focus towards his personal support system. “To my parents and my partner, I love you,” he said, pointing directly towards Kylie Jenner, who was seated in the audience. The moment was simple, but the reaction in the room and online was immediate.
The shout-out stood out partly because of how understated it was. Chalamet has never leaned heavily into public displays or extra information about his personal life, especially on awards stages. This made the acknowledgment even more special, and fans were quick to share clips of the exchange across social media.
The win itself concluded a strong awards season for the actor with five nominations throughout the year. The Golden Globe followed a season of strong critical response to “Marty Supreme.” Chalamet also shared that his approach to the awards has been shaped by a strong sense of “gratitude” from his father. He explained that even in years when he didn’t win, this mindset helped him attend ceremonies with him being “grateful just to be here.”
In a night full of big speeches and spectacle, it was Chalamet’s quiet acknowledgment to both his colleagues and the people behind him that ended up staying far beyond the award ceremony.
