Marty Supreme goes 0-for-11 at BAFTA 2026: Did the record-tying loss just derail Timothée Chalamet’s Best Actor bid? Details here

Timothée Chalamet’s awards season took an unexpected turn at the 79th British Academy Film Awards, where Marty Supreme matched a record no film wants to hold. Despite entering the night with 11 nominations, the sports drama left London empty-handed, tying the record for most losses at a single BAFTA ceremony. The film had been considered a strong contender across major categories, making its shutout one of the evening’s biggest talking points.




Directed by Josh Safdie and headlined by Chalamet, Marty Supreme was nominated for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, and several technical categories. Expectations were high given its strong performance throughout the awards circuit and critical acclaim for Chalamet’s portrayal of a troubled table tennis prodigy navigating fame and personal setbacks.

However, as the winners were announced at London’s Royal Festival Hall, the film’s name was repeatedly absent. By the end of the ceremony, it had gone 0-for-11 — equalling the record previously set by Women in Love (1969) and Finding Neverland (2004). The outcome stunned industry watchers who had predicted at least a few technical or acting wins for the film.




The evening belonged to One Battle After Another, which emerged as the dominant force, taking home Best Film and Best Director among other honours. In the acting categories, Robert Aramayo clinched Best Actor, edging out Chalamet in a competitive race. Jessie Buckley secured Best Actress for Hamnet, while other films picked up awards across screenplay and craft categories. The sweep reshuffled awards season narratives, with BAFTA voters signalling strong support for a different slate of contenders just weeks before the Oscars.




While the BAFTA setback is significant, Marty Supreme remains firmly in the Oscar conversation. The film has nine nominations at the upcoming 98th Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor. Historically, BAFTA results don’t always mirror the Oscars, and momentum can shift quickly. For Chalamet and the team behind Marty Supreme, the night may have been disappointing — but the awards season story is far from over.
