Timothée Chalamet wins Golden Globe for Marty Supreme

Timothée Chalamet has won his first Golden Globe award for his performance in the über-Jewish table tennis film Marty Supreme, beating out seasoned pros George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio for the title of best actor in a comedy.

Chalamet, who has previously been nominated for four Golden Globes, is now poised as the favourite to clinch the best actor Oscar in March, which would mark the culmination of his campaign to win the coveted prize since his snub for A Complete Unknown in 2025.

But at Sunday night’s Golden Globe ceremony, Chalamet was not the only Jewish star recognised for an outstanding performance in film or television.

Seth Rogen took home best male actor in a television comedy for his portrayal of an overworked film studio head in Hollywood satire The Studio, which also claimed the gong for best television comedy over Jewish rom-com series Nobody Wants This. The Studio broke records last year, winning 13 Primetime Emmy awards, the most wins for a comedy series in a single season.
