Welcome. Charles Melton. He may be the new Leonardo DiCaprio.
Melton, star of Todd Haynes’ May December, just won Best supporting Actor from the New York Film Critics Circle for his work in the film with two Oscars stars: Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman.
On Sunday Melton picked up Best Supporting Performance from the Gotham Awards.
The 32 year old from Alaska has sprung into moviedom from the TV series, Riverdale. Now he’s the It Guy of the season. I met him on Sunday and so far he’s nice and unaffected.
Half Korean, Melton could follow last year’s Supporting Actor winner, Ke Huy Quan, the first Asian American to win an Oscar. Imagine the thrill of Quan presenting to Melton.
The race has begun.
