It’s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here. I’d be lying if I didn’t say those moments didn’t make this moment that much sweeter. For my parents, for my partner, I love you. Thank you so much.”

“Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart,” Chalamet stated. “I’m in a category with many greats. This category is stacked. I look up to all of you. Thank you. To [director] Josh Safdie, thank you for this role, for believing in me, and for your vision. To A24, Ronnie Bronstein, who co-wrote the script with Josh, and the amazing cast of this film.”

“If you told me when I was 19 that I’d be thanking Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank, I would have been stunned,” Chalamet quipped, referencing his acknowledgment of Kevin O’Leary.
