Timothée Chalamet Makes Oscars History With ‘Marty Supreme’ as Youngest Man With Three Acting Noms

The Oscars are all about Timmy!

The A-list actor Timothée Chalamet has earned his third best actor nomination at the Oscars. His latest nom is for his turn as table tennis protege Marty Mauser in Josh Safdie’s sports dramedy “Marty Supreme.” At 30, Chalamet has become the youngest male actor to earn three acting nominations. His previous bids were for “Call Me by Your Name” (2017) (which made him the third-youngest nominee ever in the category at 22 years old) and “A Complete Unknown” (2024).

In this year’s best actor race, Chalamet is nominated alongside Leonardo DiCaprio (“One Battle After Another”), Ethan Hawke (“Blue Moon”), Michael B. Jordan (“Sinners”) and Wagner Moura (“The Secret Agent”). “Marty Supreme” also picked up nominations for best picture and best original screenplay, among other categories.

In addition to his best actor nomination, Chalamet is also nominated for best picture as a producer alongside Eli Bush, Ronald Bronstein, Josh Safdie and Anthony Katagas. At 30 years and 26 days old, he becomes the youngest person ever to be double-nominated for producing and acting in the same year, surpassing Warren Beatty, who held the record for 58 years. Beatty was 30 years, 10 months and 20 days old when he received his nominations for “Bonnie and Clyde” (1967). Notably, he was also nominated for directing and screenplay.

Chalamet won the Golden Globe for best actor (comedy or musical) on Jan. 11 for his performance in “Marty Supreme,” making history as the youngest winner ever in that category. Last year, he won the best actor prize at The Actor Awards (formerly the SAG Awards) for his turn as Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s “A Complete Unknown.” At 29, he is the youngest ever to be awarded that SAG prize.

If Chalamet were to win the Oscar, he would be the second youngest winner in best actor history behind Adrien Brody, who was 29 when he won for “The Pianist” (2002). He would be the sixth youngest male acting winner in any category behind Brody, Timothy Hutton (“Ordinary People”), Cuba Gooding, Jr. (“Jerry Maguire”), George Chakiris (“West Side Story”) and Heath Ledger (“The Dark Knight”).

Final Oscar voting will take place from Feb. 26 to Mar. 5. The 98th Oscars will be held Mar. 15 and will air on ABC, hosted by Conan O’Brien.
