The highlight of the night wasn't just the win, but Chalamet's surprising gratitude toward Kevin O'Leary, famously known as 'Mr. Wonderful' from Shark Tank. O'Leary plays Chalamet's wealthy antagonist in the film. "If you would have told me when I was 19 years old, I'd be thanking Mr. Wonderful?" Chalamet joked, sparking laughter throughout the venue.

Chalamet beat out an elite group of nominees, including George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Lee Byung-Hun. Beyond the jokes, the actor shared a heartfelt moment for his partner, Kylie Jenner. While he didn't say her name explicitly, he looked directly at her and said, "I love you," as the camera captured Jenner's emotional reaction in the crowd.
