Timothee Chalamet wins Best Actor at Critics Choice Awards, publicly thanks and says "I love you" to longtime girlfriend Kylie Jenner in heartfelt speech.

"Thank you to my partner for three years. I love you. I couldn't do this without you. - Timothee Chalamet"

Los Angeles, Jan 5

As he was named the Best Actor at the Critics Choice Award, Hollywood star Timothee Chalamet honoured his longtime girlfriend, Kylie Jenner and professed his love for her.

"Thank you to my partner for three years. I love you. I couldn't do this without you," said the actor, who took home the award for his role as aspiring ping-pong champion Marty Mauser in "Marty Supreme," while accepting the best actor trophy, reports variety.com.

Chalamet added: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

When the camera cut to Jenner, she mouthed "I love you" in response, reports variety.com.

During his speech, the actor also gave a shout-out to his fellow nominees.

Chalamet was nominated alongside Leonardo DiCaprio for "One Battle After Another," Joel Edgerton for "Train Dreams," Ethan Hawke for "Blue Moon," Michael B. Jordan for "Sinners" and Wagner Moura for "The Secret Agent."

After hesitating, Chalamet said, "I'm more nervous than I thought I'd be."

He then went on to thank Josh Safdie, who co-wrote and directed the movie.

"You made a story about a flawed man with a relatable dream, and you didn't preach to the audience about what's right and wrong. I think we should all be telling stories like that," he said.

"Thank you for this dream."

Chalamet has won several accolades including a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Critics' Choice Award, in addition to nominations for two Academy Awards, five Golden Globe Awards, four British Academy Film Awards, and a Grammy Award.

He began his career in television, appearing in the drama series Homeland. In 2014, he made his film debut in the comedy-drama Men, Women & Children and appeared in Christopher Nolan's science fiction film Interstellar.

The actor came to international attention with the lead role of a lovestruck teenager in Luca Guadagnino's coming-of-age film Call Me by Your Name, earning him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor, and becoming the third-youngest nominee in the category.

Good for him, but honestly, I find these Hollywood award speeches a bit too much. Our Indian award shows are more about the art and less about personal life declarations. Just my two cents.

He seems like a genuinely talented and humble actor. His journey from 'Call Me by Your Name' to now is impressive. More power to him!

Bachcha kitna acha actor hai! His speech about not preaching to the audience is spot on. That's what makes for good storytelling, whether in Hollywood or Bollywood.

It's nice, but I hope the focus remains on his work. He's a brilliant performer. The personal stuff, while sweet, sometimes overshadows the professional achievement.

Respect for thanking his fellow nominees. Shows good sportsmanship. The competition sounded tough with DiCaprio and others. Well deserved win.
