Timothée Chalamet’s Emotional Win and Kylie Jenner Shoutout Steal the Spotlight
So, one of the biggest talking points from the Critics’ Choice Awards this year wasn’t just who won, but how the night unfolded, especially when Timothée Chalamet took the stage. The awards ceremony, held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, is often seen as an important stop on the road to the Oscars, and this time, it delivered plenty of memorable moments.
Timothée Chalamet walked away with the Best Actor award for his role in Marty Supreme , where he played an ambitious table-tennis player trying to make his name in the 1950s. The win itself was notable, but what really grabbed attention was how visibly overwhelmed he seemed while accepting the award. It was even admitted by him that the nerves hit harder than expected, and that sense of disbelief came across as genuine rather than rehearsed.
While thanking fellow nominees and giving special praise to director Josh Safdie for creating such a layered and relatable story, Chalamet spoke about the importance of telling human dreams without preaching to the audience. It was framed as gratitude for being trusted with a role that allowed ambition and vulnerability to coexist. But the most talked-about moment arrived near the end of his speech.

In a heartfelt pause, Chalamet thanked his partner, Kylie Jenner, referring to her as the foundation that supported him. He openly said “I love you,” a moment that instantly became one of the highlights of the night. The cameras then cut to Jenner in the audience, where she was seen quietly mouthing “I love you” back. It felt unscripted, intimate, and surprisingly tender for such a high-profile event, which is why it resonated so strongly with viewers.
Beyond Chalamet’s win, the night celebrated a wide range of talent. Jessie Buckley won Best Actress for Hamnet , delivering an emotional speech filled with admiration for her co-stars and director. Netflix’s Adolescence dominated the limited series categories, showing just how powerful television storytelling has become. Meanwhile, Leonardo DiCaprio’s film One Battle After Another claimed Best Picture, adding momentum to its growing Oscar buzz.
Still, when people talk about this year’s Critics’ Choice Awards, it’s likely that Timothée Chalamet’s moment will be remembered most. The award validated his performance, but the speech revealed something more personal. It showed a young star, clearly at the top of his game, being visibly shaken, deeply grateful, and unafraid to share love on a public stage. In an awards season often filled with polished speeches, that raw honesty stood out, and it’s exactly why this moment has continued to dominate headlines.
