The film portrays a young New Yorker's journey to table tennis superstardom. This marks Chalamet's first Golden Globe win after four prior nominations.
During his acceptance speech on Sunday evening, Chalamet thanked director Josh Safdie, the cast, his parents, and his partner, Kylie Jenner, without naming her. He acknowledged his fellow nominees and expressed gratitude, humorously referencing Kevin O’Leary from "Shark Tank."
Other nominees in the category included Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Ethan Hawke, Lee Byung-hun, and Jesse Plemons. Chalamet's previous Golden Globe nominations included roles in "Call Me by Your Name" (2018) and "A Complete Unknown" (2025). For "Marty Supreme," Chalamet also received a Critics Choice Award and an Actor Award nomination.
"Marty Supreme" achieved a $27 million opening at the box office, marking the largest in A24's history. The film's budget was reportedly between $60 million and $70 million. Its promotional tour included events such as an underground table tennis tournament and a stunt at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
Chalamet commented on his involvement in the film's promotion, stating it was "in the spirit of Marty" and an effort to promote an original film. He mentioned trying to maximize visibility through various means, including merchandise and media appearances.
Director Josh Safdie noted Chalamet's commitment during production, highlighting his willingness to perform multiple takes.
