Timothée Chalamet 2026 Critics Choice Awards Speech: Amanda Seyfried Confused by 'Foundation'

A heartfelt tribute or a secret charity? Timothée Chalamet just sparked a wave of curiosity after his emotional win at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards. While his words were meant for his partner, they left fellow actress Amanda Seyfried hilariously scratching her head.

Timothée Chalamet 2026 Critics Choice Awards Speech and the Confusion

Taking the stage to accept Best Actor for his role in Marty Supreme, the 30-year-old actor gave a special shout-out to his girlfriend of 3 years, Kylie Jenner. "Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn't do this without you," Chalamet declared. The cameras quickly panted to Jenner, who was seen mouthing "I love you" back to him.

However, the term "foundation" led Amanda Seyfried to think the couple had started a formal nonprofit organization. Reacting to the speech on Instagram, she admitted she was "curious about that," thinking it referred to a charity. She later realized it was a metaphor for their rock-solid relationship bond.

Despite Kylie Jenner emphasizing the importance of privacy in her 2024 British Vogue interview, Chalamet’s latest speech signals a significant maturing of their public image.
