Ansel Elgort, Timothée Chalamet on Who Was More Popular in High School (Video)

Yes, millennial Golden Globe nominees Ansel Elgort and Timothée Chalamet actually went to high school together — but they apparently have very different recollections of the experience.

MTV News’ Josh Horowitz caught up with the two rising stars on the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday and asked each who was more popular in the halls of New York City’s LaGuardia High School of the Performing Arts (the school made famous in the movie and TV series “Fame”).

Surprisingly, each pointed the finger at the other.

“Ansel had a calendar with him in it — are you kidding me?” said Chalamet, LaGuardia class of 2013 and the breakout star of the indie “Call Me by Your Name.” (On Sunday, he lost the Best Actor – Drama prize to “Darkest Hour” veteran Gary Oldman.)

“I auditioned for ‘Guys and Dolls,’ I auditioned for ‘Hairspray’ — these were musicals we were doing,” Chalamet continued. “He was the lead, I didn’t get into them.”

Chalamet said that as a result he was forced to perform in the school talent shows instead of the official musicals — which is why there are YouTube videos of him rapping about such go-to hip-hop subjects as statistics class.

“Timothée was so popular,” countered Elgort, LaGuardia class of 2012 and a nominee for “Baby Driver.” (He lost the Best Actor – Musical or Comedy prize to James Franco for “The Disaster Artist.”)

“Nobody disliked Timmy,” Elgort said. “Some people disliked me — it’s true.”

It's a near impossible feat to capture the hearts and minds of moviegoers when you're not a big-name star. But this fresh crop of film talent has managed to do just that. TheWrap has deemed the following performers worthy of the distinction -- breakout movie stars of 2017.

Tiffany Haddish

Tiffany Haddish had been lauded for her comedic prowess in Universal's "Girls Trip," and even won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the New York Film Critics Circle for the role. Now she has four other projects lined up: "All Between Us," "The Oath," "Limited Partners" and "Night School."

Bill Skarsgard

Who could forget Bill Skarsgard's creepy Pennywise in the horror hit "It?" The actor haunted kids all over the world in September but also starred in "Atomic Blonde" this year. He will next star in "Castle Rock," "Assassination Nation" and the "It" sequel.

Sofia Boutella

Yes, the actress also was front and center in 2015's "Kingsman: The Secret Service," but this year, she was all over the place. Her steamy sex scene with Charlize Theron in "Atomic Blonde" made headlines, and the 35-year-old also had the villainous lead in "The Mummy."

Daniel Kaluuya

"Get Out" has received praise from critics and fans alike, and Daniel Kaluuya received a solid round of acclaim for his lead role in the sleeper hit. It makes perfect sense that he has been nominated for a Golden Globe this year.

Brooklynn Prince

This darling 7-year-old charmed audiences in Sean Baker's "The Florida Project" this year, which is garnering awards season buzz. The role has gotten her several nominations, including a Gotham Award for Breakthrough Actor.

Timothee Chalamet

Timothee Chalamet is in the awards race with not one, but two films: "Call Me by Your Name" and "Lady Bird." The former is giving him strong Best Actor nods. Audiences will surely be seeing Chalamet in more movies soon.

Dafne Keen

Dafne Keen's performance as X23 in "Logan" was extremely memorable -- and her audition tape itself was lauded as one of the most extraordinary audition tapes Patrick Stewart has ever seen.

Barry Keoghan

Did Barry Keoghan's performance in "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" make anyone else uncomfortable -- just because he was so incredible?

Isabela Moner

She stole the show in "Transformers: The Last Knight." And next, she'll star in "Sicario 2: Soldado."

Dacre Montgomery

It seems like everyone is swooning over Dacre Montgomery these days after he appeared in "Power Rangers" and, on the small screen, "Stranger Things" Season 2. The Australian hunk will next be the lead in the third season of the aforementioned Netflix series, as well as the film, "The True History of the Kelly Gang."

Porgs

OK, so we're not exactly sure who played the Porgs, but they were the best part of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." If fans have it their way, these little bird-like cuties will have their own standalone film before you know it.
