Timothee Chalamet Won His First Golden Globe for 'Marty Supreme'

"A true pro, Chalamet quickly thanked director Josh Safdie ("Thank you for this role, thank you for believing in me"), studio A24, screenwriter Ronny Bronstein, and his "amazing" co-stars Odessa A'zion, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler the Creator, Fran Drescher, and Kevin O'Leary. "If you would have told me when I was 19 years old that I would be thanking Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank," said Chalamet, which drew laughter out of the room, including O'Leary. "You're laughing, so I got away with that. Thank you Kevin.""

""I would have been stunned, but I would have been very grateful. My dad instilled in me the spirit of gratitude growing up. Always be grateful for what you have. It's allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here. But I would be lying if I didn't say this moment didn't make those moments that much sweeter.""

""This category is stacked, I look up to all of you. Thank you," Chalamet said."
