Chalamet Leads TIME Entertainer of the Year Market
UK betting sites have opened the 2026 TIME Entertainer of the Year market, with Timothée Chalamet installed as the 2/1 favourite in what could be a career-defining year for the actor.
Chalamet’s position at the head of the market comes as little surprise.
He is currently odds-on to land the Best Actor Oscar and continues to dominate awards-season conversation, placing him firmly in the cultural spotlight.
Across betting sites, early pricing suggests bookmakers expect his momentum to extend beyond Hollywood awards and into broader cultural recognition.
His relationship with Kylie Jenner continues to dominate gossip columns and firmly putting him towards the top of public conversation.
2026 TIME Entertainer of the Year Odds
| 2026 TIME Entertainer of the Year | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Timothée Chalamet | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Anne Hathaway | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Tom Holland | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| BTS | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Bad Bunny | 15/2 | 11.8% |
| Tom Cruise | 9/1 | 10.0% |
Chalamet’s 2/1 price implies a 33.3% probability of securing the honour, with Anne Hathaway next in the betting at 3/1.
Tom Holland at 4/1 keeps the market actor-heavy at the top, while global music stars BTS (6/1) and Bad Bunny (15/2) remain serious contenders.
Following Leonardo DiCaprio’s 2025 Win
Leonardo DiCaprio was voted TIME’s 2025 Entertainer of the Year “for his acclaimed performance in One Battle After Another and his long-term impact on the film industry.”
That recognition highlights how the award balances immediate impact with broader cultural influence.
Recent recipients underline the diversity of winners:
- 2025: Leonardo DiCaprio
- 2023: Taylor Swift (as Person of the Year)
- 2022: BLACKPINK
- 2021: Olivia Rodrigo
- 2020: BTS
Music acts have featured heavily in recent years, but film stars remain firmly in the mix when cultural dominance aligns with critical acclaim.
Is 2026 Set to Be Chalamet’s Year?
Chalamet’s awards-season dominance is a major factor in his market leadership.
If he secures the Best Actor Oscar as widely expected, that narrative momentum could carry into TIME’s year-end honours.
TIME’s Entertainer of the Year is not simply about popularity but it recognises the individual or group who most shaped entertainment culture over the year.
With blockbuster projects, critical acclaim and sustained media presence, Chalamet’s 2/1 pricing reflects strong bookmaker confidence that 2026 could belong to him.
However, Anne Hathaway at 3/1 suggests a potential rival narrative if she delivers a major performance or cultural moment. Similarly, Tom Holland’s global box-office pull keeps him firmly in contention.
