Many consider the Palm Springs Film Festival [1] to be the unofficial kickoff to award season, what with its star-studded red carpet and highly anticipated award ceremony. The winners of those awards usually go on to sweep even more trophies throughout the season, making it a fun preview into how the rest of the shows might shake out.
The big gala went down on Tuesday night in Palm Springs, garnering wins for Jessica Chastain, Mary J. Blige, Gal Gadot, and Call Me By Your Name star Timothée Chalamet [2], who hilariously thanked costar Armie Hammer's wife in his acceptance speech [3].
