Timothée Chalamet has been making headlines with his string of award speeches throughout 2025, bringing the spotlight not just to his acting but also to his personal acknowledgments. At the SAG Awards earlier this year, where he won for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, Chalamet expressed a strong desire to achieve greatness during his acceptance speech. This statement, delivered in front of many established actors, was perceived by some as overconfidence.
Recent Speeches Mark a Change in Tone and Personal Mentions
Chalamet’s most notable shift came when he accepted the Critics Choice Award for his role in “Marty Supreme” last month. His lengthy and heartfelt speech particularly stood out for the public mention of his partner Kylie Jenner, whom he had not acknowledged before despite reportedly living together for a year. He said,
“Thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I couldn’t do this without you.”
This expression of gratitude quickly became the talk of the night, overshadowing many other moments.
At the Golden Globes shortly after, Chalamet delivered a more polished and concise speech. Still, he quietly included appreciation again, saying,
“And to my parents, my partner, I love you.”
This acknowledgment of Kylie Jenner received significant camera focus, coinciding with Jenner’s striking Ashi couture strapless outfit, drawing much media attention.
Behind the Public Thanks: Kylie Jenner’s Role and Challenges
Sources close to the couple reveal there is a reason for Chalamet’s newfound public appreciation of Jenner. She has reportedly experienced cold shoulders from fellow A-list celebrities at awards events, finding it difficult to get poses or conversations with them. Chalamet’s acknowledgments may be part of supporting her through this exclusionary environment.
Future Prospects and Chalamet’s Public Image
With the Oscars approaching, it remains to be seen whether this openness towards Jenner will continue and alter how the Hollywood elite engage with her. Alongside his speech style, which appears to be evolving in a more serious and Oscar-focused direction, Chalamet maintains his unique fashion identity. Recently, in snowy New York, he opted for a rare choice of Ugg boots adorned with flame designs, earning praise from Vogue for his boldness.
As Timothée Chalamet navigates this pivotal moment in his career and personal life, his public gestures toward Kylie Jenner reflect both affection and a calculated effort to reshape his image in the demanding spotlight of Hollywood events.
