Los Angeles, Jan 12 (.) ‘Marty Supreme’ added another accolade to its growing list of achievements on Sunday night as Timothée Chalamet won his first-ever Golden Globe Award.
Chalamet earned the honour for his performance as a fast-talking driven table tennis player in the comedy film Marty Supreme. The win marks his first Golden Globe victory following several previous nominations, according to Variety.
The actor had earlier been nominated for ‘Call Me By Your Name’, ‘Beautiful Boy’, ‘Wonka’, and ‘A Complete Unknown’, but had left the ceremony empty-handed each time, making this win particularly meaningful.
In his acceptance speech, Chalamet reflected on lessons from his childhood and how they helped him remain positive despite past losses.
“My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up, ‘always be grateful for what you have,’” Chalamet said, as quoted by Variety.
“It’s allowed me to leave the ceremony in the past empty-handed with my head held high.”
“I’d be lying if I said those moments didn’t make this one that much sweeter,” he added.
Directed by Josh Safdie, Marty Supreme follows the journey of a fictional character, Marty Mauser, as he relentlessly pursues his dream of becoming a table tennis champion.
Chalamet competed in a strong category alongside George Clooney, Ethan Hawke, Jesse Plemons, Lee Byung-hun, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
