Timothée Chalamet makes history with 2026 Oscar nomination

The Academy Awards are keeping up with Timothée Chalamet’s work.

The “Wonka” star, 30, has earned his third Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his role in “Marty Supreme.”

Chalamet is now the youngest male actor in history to garner three nods in that category.

He was first nominated in 2018 for “Call Me By Your Name,” and again in 2025 for his performance as Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown.”

Now, after taking on the role a professional ping-pong player opposite Gwyneth Paltrow, he’s scored his third nomination.

During last year’s Oscars, Chalamet lost to Adrien Brody for Best Actor in “The Brutalist.”

“If there’s five people at an awards show, and four people go home losing, you don’t think those four people are at the restaurant like, ‘Damn, we didn’t win?’” he reflected to Vogue in November about being disappointed. “I’ve been around some deeply generous, no-ego actors, and maybe some of them are going, ‘That was fun.’ But I know for a fact a lot of them are going, ‘F–k!’”

“People can call me a try-hard, and they can say whatever the f–k,” Chalamet continued. “But I’m the one actually doing it here.”

Chalamet also spoke about losing at the ceremony while chatting with SiriusXM last year. He noted that it’s “uniquely hilarious” to go home without a win and to tear up your prepared speech.

As Chalamet put it: “You think to yourself, ‘You narcissistic arrogant prick. On what planet did you think you were gonna use this?’”

Meanwhile, the “A Rainy Day in New York” star is already on a role this award season, taking home the Critics Choice Award for Best Actor earlier this month.

He was previously nominated at the Critics for “Call Me By Your Name” and “A Complete Unknown.” In 2019, he was also up for Best Supporting Actor in “Beautiful Boy.”

“Marty Supreme,” landed Chalamet the Best Actor award at this year’s Golden Globes.

He had four previous nominations dating back to 2018.

“It’s a movie about the pursuit of a dream,” Chalamet told IndieWire last year about his latest project. “I’m leaving it on the field. Whether it’s the merch or the Zoom or the media appearances, I’m trying to get this out in the biggest way possible. In the spirit of Marty Mauser.”
