Taking the top male acting prize for his role in Marty Supreme, Chalamet acknowledged that he was in a category stacked with numerous “greats” (Clooney, DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Jesse Plemons and Lee Byung-Hun).
He also made sure to thank Kevin O’Leary, who co-starred with him in the A24 ping-pong film.
“If you would have told me when I was 19 years old, I’d be thanking Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank,” he said, noting that since Leary, who was in the room was laughing, he “got away with that” quip.
“Thank you, Kevin, I would have been stunned, but I’ve been very grateful.”
