During his acceptance speech at the time, he gushed that the award was ‘super cool’ and added that ‘This is the best day of my life!’
‘I first want to say thank you to all the critics who voted for me. It must be a super hard vote because of all the other great actors in this category.’
He then gave a sweet shout out to the cast and crew involved in Room, adding, ‘I think us working together made this movie come true. And this award doesn’t just go to me for that, it goes to all of you guys as well.’

Earlier this year in February, Tremblay made an appearance on the Today show with Paul Walter Hauser to promote their film, Orion And The Dark – and also had the chance to celebrate his high school graduation.
At the time, the star was asked if he had already attended a graduation ceremony due to finishing school a semester early.
‘No, not yet. There’s one kind of toward the end of the year ’cause I graduated a semester early. So I’ll try to cut out the time to make it to it,’ Jacob explained.
The Today hosts then suddenly began to play Pomp & Circumstance in order to throw a spontaneous ceremony for the actor.
Al Roker told Tremblay, ‘You know, because Jacob you didn’t get your diploma, your ceremony, we have a little something here for you. We’ve got your cap and gown.’
After putting on the cap and gown, the Wonder actor was given a ‘diploma,’ with Roker explaining, ‘Better than a diploma, we have a certificate signed by all of us and Paul.’
Jacob gushed to the hosts, ‘Oh thank you so much. Oh this is wonderful.’ It was then revealed that they had gotten Star Wars star, Mark Hamill, to share a special video for Tremblay.
