Timothée Chalamet emerged as one of the standout winners at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, beating Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney to claim best actor in a musical or comedy for his role in the table tennis caper Marty Supreme.
The 30-year-old actor, collecting his first Golden Globe after five nominations, said the victory felt especially “sweet” as awards season momentum builds ahead of the Oscars. He paid tribute to his parents and partner Kylie Jenner while acknowledging the calibre of actors in his category.
Despite DiCaprio missing out on an acting prize, his film One Battle After Another dominated the night overall, winning four awards including best musical or comedy film, best director and best screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson. Teyana Taylor also secured best supporting actress for her role in the film, delivering an emotional speech celebrating representation and resilience.
Irish actress Jessie Buckley won best drama actress for Hamnet, a performance widely tipped to sweep the season. The film also scored a surprise win for best drama film, with director Chloe Zhao dedicating the award to the cast and crew who endured personal loss during production.
Other film winners included Rose Byrne, named best actress in a musical or comedy for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, and Stellan Skarsgård, who won best supporting actor for Sentimental Value while urging audiences to keep watching films in cinemas.
The ceremony also celebrated television, with British actors Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty picking up awards for Netflix drama Adolescence. Cooper, 16, described himself as “still learning” as he continued a remarkable year of accolades.
Elsewhere, KPop Demon Hunters won best animated film and best song, Brazil’s The Secret Agent claimed best international film, and Seth Rogen won best TV comedy actor for The Studio. The night also marked the first Golden Globe for best podcast, awarded to Amy Poehler for Good Hang with Amy Poehler.
