Timothée Chalamet's Night at the 2026 Screen Actors Guild Awards: Brilliance Without a Win

Full details

In an evening filled with excitement and celebration of the art of performance, Timothée Chalamet was one of the standout stars at the 32nd Screen Actors Guild Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles. The 30-year-old actor received a new nomination for his role in the film Marty Supreme, which tells the story of the skilled and cunning table tennis player "Marty Mouser."

Chalamet's Performance and Intensive Training in Marty Supreme

Chalamet's role in Marty Supreme demanded significant physical and professional effort. He received high praise from Diego Schaff, the film's table tennis consultant, who confirmed that the actor did not settle for basic training but was keen to master every detail of the game. "Even after nailing the shots, he insisted on retakes to achieve the best performance," Schaff said, highlighting Chalamet's dedication to memorizing every move and precise timing, which enabled him to portray the role exceptionally.

Highlights of the Ceremony and Kylie Jenner's Absence

Chalamet arrived on the red carpet wearing an elegant black-and-white suit designed by Prada, which sparked buzz on social media. Notably, his girlfriend and famous model Kylie Jenner did not attend the ceremony, a rare absence this season after accompanying him to numerous festivals and events. Chalamet had mentioned her several times in his thank-you speeches throughout the awards season.

Moments of Humor and Tributes at the Event

Actress Lisa Ann Walter opened the ceremony with a joke about Chalamet's age in the film, saying, "Is he 16? Or 38? This is proof of his acting talent." Later, actress Kristen Bell created a playful atmosphere by greeting the film Marty Supreme as her co-star from the series Nobody Wants This, Jackie Tohn, began playing table tennis on stage.

Unexpected Loss to Michael B. Jordan

Despite high expectations and Chalamet’s nomination in the Best Actor category, the award went to Michael B. Jordan for the film Sinners, which was widely praised by fans as a well-deserved and long-awaited achievement. In his acceptance speech, Jordan expressed respect for his competitors, praising Chalamet and all the actors. He said, "I am very grateful to be nominated alongside these talented individuals whose work I love and whose contributions to the craft I deeply appreciate."

The Future and Other Nominations

Chalamet is now heading toward the Oscars scheduled for March 15, where he is once again nominated for Best Actor. This marks his third nomination following Call Me by Your Name in 2018 and A Complete Unknown in 2025. He continues his artistic journey, solidifying his status as one of the most prominent faces in contemporary global cinema.
