"Twice Oscar-nominated and not yet 30, Chalamet lost out to Adrien Brody for best actor at this year's awards, but is already the favourite to win in 2026 for Marty Supreme. Early reviews say the film presents Chalamet at his most infectiously charismatic, playing a table tennis player with a little paddle and big dreams, while the internet has already been thrilled with his character's tiny goatee and tank top."
"Director Josh Safdie recently told Vogue that the actor shared similarities with his character a man possessed and blinded by his ambition. The star has certainly been energetically promoting the picture, as the best thing I've been in. The press rollout has been a performance in and of itself, Chalamet making appearances with an entourage wearing orange ping-pong balls over their heads."
Timothée Chalamet, a Gen-Z French-American actor, is receiving the best reviews of his career for Marty Supreme. He plays an obsessively ambitious table tennis player noted for a tiny goatee and tank top. Director Josh Safdie identified parallels between Chalamet and the character, calling him a man possessed and blinded by ambition. Early response has positioned Chalamet as a favorite for a 2026 Oscar. The promotional rollout has been theatrical, including appearances with an entourage wearing orange ping-pong balls and an 18-minute skit that lampoons his intensely ambitious public image. Merchandise and fashion collaborations have amplified cultural attention.
