Timothée Chalamet Declares Love for Kylie Jenner in Critics Choice Awards Speech
Nicole Flender is weighing in on Timothée Chalamet’s latest career milestone.
The Oscar nominee’s mother had the perfect reaction to the 30-year-old winning Best Actor at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards for his performance in Marty Supreme.
Though Nicole—who shares the Lady Bird star and Pauline Chalamet, 33, with Marc Chalamet—didn’t join her son at the ceremony, she was tuned into the E! and USA Network telecast, sharing a video that she recorded of her TV featuring Kate Hudson announcing Timothée as the winner and the Dune actor’s subsequent acceptance speech. As she captioned her Jan. 4 Instagram post, “My son just won the Critics Choice Award for best actor!!”
Timmy’s girlfriend Kylie Jenner, who was at the awards show to support him in person, “liked” the post.
In fact, the Kylie Cosmetics founder shared a smooch with the Call Me By Your Name actor—who was nominated alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in One Battle After Another, Joel Edgerton in Train Dreams, Ethan Hawke in Blue Moon, Michael B. Jordan in Sinners and Wagner Moura in The Secret Agent—after he was announced. And from the stage, he gave her a heartfelt shoutout.
