Timothee Chalamet had his crowning moment as he earned Best Actor at the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards and publicly declared his love for girlfriend Kylie Jenner, but it was One Battle After Another which took home the top prize of the night.
The 30-year-old actor was emotional as he beat living legend Leonardo DiCaprio while being recognized for his work in ping-pong drama Marty Supreme at the gala held in Santa Monica, California on Sunday.
