Timothée Chalamet is this year’s Golden Globe Award winner for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy!

The Marty Supreme star, 30, turned to kiss his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, when his name was called and beamed while accepting the honor onstage at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Sunday, Jan. 11. In his speech, Chalamet shouted out those who have supported him in his career, including his costars, parents and Jenner.

"My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up," Chalamet said. "Always be grateful for what you have. It’s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here. I’d be lying if I didn’t say those moments didn’t make this moment that much sweeter. For my parents, for my partner, I love you. Thank you so much."

Jenner, who attended the ceremony as Chalamet's date, was seen beaming in the crowd in response to the special callout.

Earlier in his speech, the actor also took the time to thank those who worked on the film with him as well as his fellow nominees.

"Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart," he said. "I’m in a category with many greats. This category is stacked. I look up to all you. Thank you. To [director] Josh Safdie, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for this role, thank you for believing in me, thank you for this portrait, for your mind, for your worldview. To A24, Ronnie Bronstein, who co-wrote the script with Josh, the amazing cast of this film, Odessa A’Zion, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler, The Creator, Fran Drescher, Kevin O’Leary."

"If you would have told me when I was 19 years old I’d be thanking Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank," Chalamet quipped, referencing O'Leary. "Alright, you’re laughing, so I got away with that. Thank you, Kevin."

He concluded: "I would have been stunned, but I’ve been very grateful."

Other nominees in the category were George Clooney for Jay Kelly, Leonardo DiCaprio for One Battle After Another, Ethan Hawke for Blue Moon, Lee Byung-hun for No Other Choice and Jesse Plemons for Bugonia.

Chalamet, 30, has counted a Critics Choice Award, Palm Springs International Film Festival award and a nomination at the upcoming Actor Awards among his accolades for Marty Supreme (all one year after earning the same nods for playing Bob Dylan in 2024’s A Complete Unknown). The Josh Safdie-directed hit centers on a pioneering ping pong player, Chalamet’s Mary Mauser, pursuing greatness at any cost.

The two-time Oscar nominee secretly trained in table tennis for years to prepare for leading the movie. “In spirit, this is the most who I was that I’ve had to play a role,” Chalamet told The Hollywood Reporter in October. “This is who I was before I had a career.”

No stranger to the Golden Globe Awards, Clooney has now totaled 13 nominations for his work as a writer and filmmaker, not counting the Cecil B. DeMille Award he received in 2015. The Oscar winner is about as decorated as his titular character in Jay Kelly, director and co-writer Noah Baumbach’s comedic take on a Hollywood star going through an existential crisis.

During one scene filmed with costar Adam Sandler, Clooney recalled to PEOPLE in November, he had the “hard” task of unexpectedly reacting to a montage of his own old movies and TV shows. “You have to really fortify yourself for seeing 40 years of aging on screen. It's not so easy with a bad mullet.”

Bringing his Golden Globe nomination count to a whopping 15, DiCaprio, 51, leads Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another as Bob Ferguson a.k.a. "Ghetto Pat,” a wayward revolutionary. He and costars Chase Infiniti, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro have all earned multiple awards and nominations for their work onscreen.

“It really tapped into the state of the world right now, the extremism that we all feel, from both sides,” the Oscar winner told Deadline in December of Anderson’s screenplay. “He did it in such an elegant, beautiful way with these very human protagonists that were all flawed. When I first read the script, I knew it was something incredibly special right out of the gate.”

Hawke, 55, earned his third Globe nod for leading Blue Moon as the late Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart. The Richard Linklater-directed, Robert Kaplow-written biopic follows Hart on the night that Oklahoma!, the musical written by his former colleague Richard Rogers (played by Andrew Scott), opens on Broadway.

"Every now and then you bump up against a part that presses you to the wall of your ability and you know you can never be as good as the part is demanding of you — and that's a kind of thrilling spot to be in,” the star of FX’s The Lowdown told NPR in November. Blue Moon marks Hawke’s ninth collaboration with Linklater.

South Korean star Lee, 55, has had quite a string of hits between starring in Squid Game, KPop Demon Hunters and now Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice, South Korea’s submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. The Toronto International Film Festival award winner is the first Korean title ever to be nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture.

In the critically acclaimed comedy, Lee plays family man Yoo Man-su, who is fired from his job as a paper industry expert and resorts to desperate measures in his quest for employment. “Korean storytellers are really able to create stories that people can empathize with globally, regardless of culture or language,” Lee said in an interview with Sharp magazine.

For playing an outraged conspiracy theorist in Yorgos Lanthimos’ extraterrestrial-inspired comedy Bugonia, Plemons, 37, has earned raves from critics. This marks the actor’s second time in a row in the Globes’ Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy category after last year’s Kinds of Kindness — also directed by Lanthimos.

"It felt like such a sprint marathon, the movie, that it doesn't let up," Plemons told PEOPLE upon Bugonia’s October release, acknowledging the "mental and physical" toll the production took on him and costar Emma Stone.
