Timothée Chalamet just inched closer to proving he’s one of the greats.
After all, he stepped onto the red carpet at the 2026 Actors Awards at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles on March 1 the reigning winner in the Outstanding Male Actor in a Leading Role category—and with a chance to repeat his victory for a second year in a row with his nomination for Marty Supreme.
For the occasion, Timothée—who was not joined by longtime girlfriend Kylie Jenner on the red carpet but instead mom Nicole Flanders as longtime love—donned a Prada suit, featuring a cream jacket and black trousers. (See all the stars on the red carpet here.)
Of course, the Male Actor in a Leading Role—in which he’s joined by fellow nominees Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, Ethan Hawke and Jesse Plemons—is just one of the nominations Timothée is up for at the Kristen Bell-hosted ceremony. He and Marty Supreme costars Odessa A’Zion, Tyler, the Creator, Fran Drescher and more are also up for Outstanding Cast in a Motion Picture.

Though Timothée is no stranger to the Actor Awards, formerly SAG Awards, red carpet with 10 nominations under his belt over the years, last year marked his first win. And it was at the 2025 ceremony as he picked up his Actor Statue, where the Complete Unknown alum shared insight into his career goals, revealing exactly where he hopes it leads him.

“I know the classiest thing would be to downplay the effort that went into this role and how much this means to me,” he while accepting his award for his performance in the Bob Dylan biopic, “but the truth is this was five and half years of my life.”
In fact, he emphasized that when it comes to his onscreen work, he is “in pursuit of greatness.”
And he wasn’t afraid to admit this to his peers, highlighting those he hopes to emulate.
“I know people don’t usually talk that but I wanna be one of the greats,” he continued. “I’m inspired by the greats. I’m as inspired by Daniel Day Lewis, Marlon Brando and Viola Davis as I am Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps.”
But this year, beyond teasing what’s to come for his work, he’s used his victory speeches to also share a rare glimpse into his private life with sweet shoutouts to Kylie. In fact, after thanking his “partner of three years,” at the Critics Choice Awards in January, he added, “Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you.”
