Timothée Chalamet won Best Actor at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards for playing Marty Mauser in Marty Supreme.
The award recognized Chalamet’s lead performance in Josh Safdie’s sports comedy-drama about fictional table-tennis player Marty Mauser. The film was among the major 2025 releases represented in the ceremony’s film categories.
Chalamet competed against performers including Leonardo DiCaprio, Joel Edgerton, Ethan Hawke, Michael B. Jordan, and Wagner Moura. His Critics Choice win was separate from the ceremony’s Best Picture and Best Director awards, which went to One Battle After Another.
The result is sometimes confused with Chalamet’s earlier awards recognition for playing musicians or real-life figures. Marty Mauser is a fictional character, and Marty Supreme is not a documentary about an actual champion.
