A former Riverdale star just won the award that made Ke Huy Quan a shoo-in for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar

Awards season is officially upon us, and former Riverdale actor Charles Melton seems like a shoo-in to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. 

Melton won Outstanding Supporting Performance at the Gotham Awards for his role in May December, the latest movie from Carol helmer Todd Haynes, which stars Natalie Portman as an actor who goes to meet and study the life of a woman she'll be playing in an upcoming film. That woman is Gracie (Julianne Moore), whose relationship with her husband Joe (Melton) was a tabloid scandal when it first began twenty years prior when he was still a minor.

The previous two winners of this particular award were Ke Huy Quan for Everything Everywhere All at Once in 2022 and Troy Kotsur for CODA in 2021, and both performers then went on to win Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars. This year, Melton beat out big names like Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, and Jamie Foxx for the gong. 

Other winners at the Gotham Awards' 33rd annual ceremony included Past Lives and Anatomy of a Fall, as well as acting nods for Ali Wong and Lily Gladstone – although the latter's award wasn't for Killers of the Flower Moon. You can see a full list of the winners below.
