Timothée Chalamet Secures First “White Boy of the Year” Award
Timothée Chalamet has won his first honor this award season: “White Boy of the Year.” Wait, this award isn’t in the Vulture Movies Fantasy League. Chalamet is breaking new ground at the First Annual Believe That Awards, from Minnesota Timberwolves NBA star Anthony Edwards and his best friend Nick Maddox. Described as “an awards show where no one is safe,” the show features prestigious honors like “Reporter of the Year,” “Hater of the Year,” and Timmy’s win. Chalamet accepted the award via Zoom while on the set of Dune 3, beating out nominees Adam Sandler, Tom Cruise, Pat McAfee, and MrBeast — hopefully the latter won’t be too upset about the loss. “I gotta shout out all the white boys that laid the path before me: Timberlake, Justin Bieber, Jason Williams, Ed Sheeran,” Chalamet thanks in his speech before being interrupted with some questionable additions like Morgan Wallen from the crew.
“Whenever you start directing a movie and you need somebody to be your main character, call your boy,” Edwards pitches to Chalamet, hoping to be the Alonzo to Timmy’s Jake in a Training Day reboot. As they began riffing on what a reboot would look like as the two quote lines from the movie (“I am the police!”), it’s clear that this won’t be the last time they’ll all be hanging out — whether or not a movie comes to be. To close out the segment, Edwards and Maddox invite Lisan al-Gaib to the cookout, and Chalamet promises to cherish his second White Boy honor of the night. He teases, “I got the electric slide on lock, you’ll see it.” Trust me, we know.
