Chalamet proves supremely gifted at playing gen Z Oscars game
The Observer
|December 21, 2025
The actor is delighting fans with his left-field viral marketing for new movie Marty Supreme
A month ago the production company A24 released a recorded Zoom video of Timothée Chalamet appearing to join a marketing meeting for his new film, Marty Supreme.
Dressed in a bright yellow tank top, the actor tells a screen of apparently bewildered executives: “This [film] has got to be one of the most important things that happens on planet Earth this year.”
In fact it’s a promo for a biopic based on the eccentric life of professional ping-pong hustler Marty Reisman. Chalamet is gloriously nonchalant and egotistical, forcing the room into a silent meditation about “how great this movie is”. At first glance, it feels like an actor making fun of Oscar-season awards campaign. But make no mistake: this is an Oscar-season awards campaign.
Although set for release over Christmas, Marty Supreme was first screened at the New York Film Festival in October, making it — just eligible for the 2026 Oscars. If you believe the rumours, twice-nominated Chalamet is a frontrunner for best actor.
