Originally appeared on E! Online<\/a><\/p>\n

Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a> is reigning supreme in the game of love.<\/p>\n

Indeed, as the Marty Supreme actor won the trophy for Best Actor during the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards<\/a>\u2014hosted for the fourth year in a row by Chelsea Handler<\/a> in Santa Monica, Calif., Jan. 4\u2014he publicly declared his love for girlfriend Kylie Jenner<\/a> for the first time.<\/p>\n

“I’ll just say thank you to my partner of three years,” Timoth\u00e9e said from stage. “Thank you for our foundation. I love you.”<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old added, “I couldn’t do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much.”<\/p>\n

In response to his declaration, the Kylie Cosmetics founder mouthed back to him from the crowd, “I love you.”<\/p>\n

In addition to Kylie, Timoth\u00e9e\u2014who was nominated alongside Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a> in One Battle After Another, Joel Edgerton in Train Dreams, Ethan Hawke in Blue Moon, Michael B. Jordan<\/a> in Sinners and Wagner Moura in The Secret Agent\u2014praised his director Josh Safdie during his acceptance speech.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou made a story about a flawed man with a relatable dream, and you didn’t preach to the audience about what’s right and wrong,” he continued. “We should all be telling stories like that. So, thank you for this dream.”<\/p>\n

More from E! Online<\/p>\n

Ahead of the first awards ceremony of the season, Timoth\u00e9e had detailed his personal thoughts on his performance in Marty Supreme, as well as his acting career as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is probably my best performance,\u201d he said last month during an interview<\/a> with Margaret Gardiner, \u201cand it\u2019s been like seven, eight years that I feel like I\u2019ve been handing in really, really committed top-of-the-line performances.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of his confidence, the Call Me By Your Name actor added, \u201cAnd it\u2019s important to say it out loud because the discipline and the work ethic I\u2019m bringing to these things\u2014I don\u2019t want people to take it for granted. I don\u2019t want to take it for granted. This is really some top-level s–t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Timoth\u00e9e also spoke about his dedication to his craft in his acceptance speech at last year\u2019s SAG Awards\u2014now called the Actor Awards\u2014in February. <\/p>\n

\u201cI know we\u2019re in a subjective business, but the truth is,\u201d he said from stage, \u201cI want to be one of the greats. I\u2019m inspired by the greats. I\u2019m inspired by the greats here tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, he named a few of his inspirations, too, adding, \u201cI\u2019m as inspired by Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando, and Viola Davis as I am by Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, and I want to be up there.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Timoth\u00e9e was honored to take home the prize for Best Actor, he\u2019s not the only star who won gold at the Critics Choice Awards. Read on to see who else took home trophies at the event. <\/p>\n
