Life imitated art for Seth Rogen as he won big at Sunday\u2019s Golden Globes, capping a maple leaf-stamped fever dream of a night that also saw \u201cK-Pop Demon Hunters\u201d and the Canadian creator of \u201cThe Pitt\u201d triumph.<\/p>\n
Rogen won the award for best male actor in a comedy for his Hollywood-skewering series \u201cThe Studio,\u201d and the meta-ness of the moment was not lost on him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is so weird,\u201d said the Vancouver native during his acceptance speech. \u201cWe just pretended to do this and now it\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
In episode eight of the Apple TV comedy, Rogen\u2019s fictional studio exec Matt Remick attends the Golden Globes and goes to great lengths to ensure he gets a shout-out if one of his films wins.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought the only way I\u2019d get to hold one is to create a whole show to give myself a fake one,\u201d Rogen cracked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Studio\u201d also won best television comedy series, adding to the record-breaking 13 Emmys it won in September.<\/p>\n
The Canadian small-screen momentum continued with HBO Max medical procedural \u201cThe Pitt,\u201d created by Ontario\u2019s R. Scott Gemmill, winning best television drama series.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to thank the first responders and health-care workers, who are the real heroes who inspire us,\u201d shared Gemmill, who is also the showrunner, while accepting the accolade.<\/p>\n
The night kept tilting north with Netflix film \u201cK-Pop Demon Hunters\u201d winning the Golden Globe for best animated feature, while its breakout banger \u201cGolden\u201d was named best original song.<\/p>\n
During her acceptance speech, Korean-Canadian creator Maggie Kang thanked everyone who believed \u201ca movie so deeply rooted in Korean culture could resonate with a global audience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Netflix says the film about a K-pop group that moonlights as demon slayers is the streaming giant\u2019s most popular film of all time, racking up more than 236 million views since releasing in June<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough this film, we really wanted to depict female characters the way that we know women, which is really strong and bold, really silly and weird, and really hungry for food \u2014 and sometimes a little thirsty,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The thirst continued in full force as the stars of Crave\u2019s gay hockey drama \u201cHeated Rivalry\u201d presented the award for best supporting actress in a television series.<\/p>\n
Flanked by a pair of UFC fighters for \u201cextra security\u201d \u2014 to protect the stars from ravenous fans \u2014 Connor Storrie followed Hudson Wiliams onto the stage, appearing nervous to be attending his first Globes.<\/p>\n
Williams suggested taking a deep breath and picturing everyone in the audience naked, as Storrie countered that the strategy won\u2019t work since everyone has seen them, \u201cyou know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Williams expressed some doubt that everyone in the audience has seen \u201cHeated Rivarly,\u201d to which Storrie responded: \u201cBut their trainers have, and their moms have, and their daughters have.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Canadian businessman and TV personality Kevin O\u2019Leary received a shout-out from Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet\u2019s as he accepted the award for best actor in a comedy or musical film.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Leary stars in \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d as an obnoxious pen magnate who stands in the way of Chalamet\u2019s ping-pong prodigy realizing his dreams.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you would have told me when I was 19 years old, I\u2019d be thanking Mr. Wonderful from \u2018Shark Tank\u2019?\u201d Chalamet remarked, nodding to O\u2019Leary\u2019s time on the U.S. spinoff of \u201cDragons\u2019 Den.\u201d<\/p>\n
The camera then cut to O\u2019Leary chuckling, and Chalamet added, \u201cAll right, you\u2019re laughing, so I got away with that. Thank you, Kevin \u2014 I would have been stunned, but I\u2019ve been very grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s stoner revolutionary epic \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d led all nominees with nine and took home four marquee awards, including best comedy film, supporting female actor for Teyana Taylor and best director and best screenplay for Anderson.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Chloe Zhao\u2019s Shakespearean \u201cHamnet\u201d pulled an upset over \u201cSinners\u201d to win best drama film.<\/p>\n
