With the announcement of the 2026 Golden Globe nominations today, the 29-year-old actor officially secured his fifth career nomination, cementing his place in the record books as the youngest actor in history to reach this incredible milestone.
This latest achievement surpasses previous records held by Hollywood legends who built their careers over decades, underscoring Chalamet’s unprecedented rise and consistent ability to choose critically acclaimed, awards-caliber projects.
The Record-Breaking Nominee
Chalamet’s fifth nomination comes for his acclaimed performance as the manic ping-pong hustler Marty Mauser in Josh Safdie’s crime epic, Marty Supreme, landing him a spot in the highly competitive Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy category.
This nomination adds to his already impressive streak:
- 2018: Call Me By Your Name (Best Actor – Drama)
- 2019: Beautiful Boy (Best Supporting Actor)
- 2024: Wonka (Best Actor – Musical or Comedy)
- 2025: A Complete Unknown (Best Actor – Drama)
- 2026: Marty Supreme (Best Actor – Musical or Comedy)
His nominations span every major film acting category, demonstrating a versatility that few actors achieve in an entire career, let alone before the age of 30.
The Power of the “Chalamet Effect”
This historic fifth nod is a testament to the “Chalamet Effect”—the ability to consistently ground diverse, complex roles across genres, from intense drama (A Complete Unknown) to whimsical musical fantasy (Wonka) and now, chaotic dark comedy (Marty Supreme).
His placement among fellow nominees like Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney solidifies his status not just as a young star, but as a genuine Hollywood heavyweight who is currently leading the industry’s critical conversation. With this record-breaking achievement, Timothée Chalamet enters the 2026 awards season as the actor to watch.
