People Editorial Guidelines Published on January 4, 2018 12:50PM EST The youngest stars this awards season also happen to be good friends. Lady Bird‘s Saoirse Ronan, 23, and Call Me By Your Name‘s Timothée Chalamet, 22, reunited at the New York Film Critics Circle (NYFCC) Awards Wednesday night after starring in Lady Bird together earlier this year. The night before, the pair attended the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala where they were both honored. The two are earning widespread acclaim for their leading roles and are front-runners in the Oscars race. “It’s brilliant. We’ve been doing everything together,” Ronan told PEOPLE in New York about seeing Chalamet at various awards. “And the fact that he’s here for such a brilliant film, it’s one of my favorite films of the year and I can’t stop thinking about it and him in it and he just deserves it. I hadn’t even seen Call Me By Your Name when we did Lady Bird, but I knew there was something about him. He’s just so special. So it’s great that he’s getting this notoriety.” Vivien Killilea/Getty Ronan took home the NYFCC award for best actress while Chalamet was honored as best actor. Chalamet was equally excited to be sharing the experience with Ronan, but he pointed out that the actress, with two Oscar nominations already, is a veteran in the awards circle while he’s just beginning. “It’s a dream. She said to me last night, ‘We’re on this ride together,’ and I said to her, ‘You’ve been on this ride.’ This is a first for me,” Chalamet told reporters. “So between Armie [Hammer] and Saoirse, Luca [Guadagnino] and Greta [Gerwig], Scott Cooper as well, Scott Rudin — I have such a wealth of people to lean on and to pull advice from, and it’s valuable.” Both young stars are nominated for the Golden Globe Awards and the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards later this month.
