The actor thanked Hammer for his "big brotherhood, guidance and friendship".
"To have someone in your position, and as talented as you are, be a mentor to me for the last two years is invaluable to me. I really mean it, man."
He then turned toward Hammer's wife, Elizabeth Chambers, to thank her.
"And special thanks to Armie's wife, Elizabeth Chambers, who is here tonight, as well, who is as crucial to this process as anyone. And for letting me crawl all over your husband for two months. Thank you for that," he joked.
The event was attended by A-listers such as Chalamet's "Call Me By Your Name" costar Armie Hammer, Gadot, Kumail Nanjiani, Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek, Octavia Spencer and Jessica Chastain among others.
