Your support makes all the difference.Seth Rogen voiced a complaint about the new camera angles at the 2025 Golden Globes.
The Superbad actor and comedian, 42, was joined by his The Studio co-star Catherine O’Hara to present the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series at the January 5 award ceremony held at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles.
As the pair walked out on stage, the cameras panned from a wide-angle view to a straight-on camera angle.
“Hello,” Rogen said, addressing the room. “I wanna start by saying this whole angled camera thing is very weird. It’s inelegant, it’s strange.
“This whole half of the room can see my bald spot; I would’ve filled that in,” he quipped, pointing to the audience behind him. “I said no, and I regret that now completely.”
“You’re a beautiful man,” O’Hara laughed, with Rogen responding: “Thank you, I appreciate that.”
Rogen’s note was praised by viewers on X/Twitter, with one lauding him for “finally calling out the awkward camera angles I’ve been complaining about all night.”
“This angled camera thing IS weird and inelegant thank you Seth Rogen,” a second commented.
Elsewhere in his presenting sketch, Rogen quipped: “As we know, of course, there is no higher honor than winning a Golden Globe — absolutely nothing. There is no better award in Hollywood than the Golden Globes, period. None.”
The nominees for this year’s category for Best Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television included Cate Blanchett (Disclaimer), Sofía Vergara (Griselda), Cristin Milioti (The Penguin), Kate Winslet (The Regime), Naomi Watts (Feud: Capote vs the Swans) and Jodie Foster (True Detective: Night Country).
Foster, 62, ended up winning the award for her lead role in the fourth season of HBO’s hit anthology series.
This year’s film categories saw a mixed bag of winners, with Emilia Pérez, Conclave and The Brutalist taking home the top awards, while Shōgun pulled ahead in the TV category, followed closely behind by The Bear and Hacks.
