Timothée Chalamet will receive the Spotlight Actor of the Year Award for his performance in Marty Supreme at the Palm Springs International Film Awards.
Chalamet stars in Marty Supreme, a bold, kinetic portrait of a fast-talking New York City dreamer, hellbent on turning an overlooked sport into his personal springboard to glory.
The ensemble cast includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler Okonma (Tyler, the Creator in his feature-film debut), Kevin O’Leary, Abel Ferrara, Fran Drescher, Emory Cohen and Odessa A’zion. The A24 film is directed by Josh Safdie, who co-wrote it with his longtime collaborator Ronald Bronstein.
The film was included on AFI’s and the National Board of Review’s Top 10 Movies of 2025. He has received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and a Critics Choice Award nomination for Best Actor.
“In Marty Supreme, Timothée Chalamet delivers a performance which marks a true milestone in his career,” said Festival Chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi. “Within a dynamic struggle for glory, Chalamet’s portrayal of Marty Mauser transforms this narrative into a deeply human story of ambition and longing. This is one of his finest roles to date—and one of the best standout performances of the year, sure to be celebrated throughout the awards season. We are honored to present Timothée Chalamet with the Spotlight Actor of the Year Award, recognizing a remarkable artist at the height of his craft.”
