What's the story
Seth Rogen has bagged his first Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a TV Comedy. His victory comes months after his showbiz satire The Studio, which had an entire episode set at the awards ceremony! The episode featured actors like Jean Smart and Adam Scott, as well as executives such as Ted Sarandos playing exaggerated versions of themselves.

Accepting his award, Rogen humorously said, "This is so weird! We just pretended to do this. And now it is happening!" He added, "I thought the only way I would get to hold one is to create a show to give myself a fake one." In The Studio episode, Rogen's character Matt Remick desperately tries to get thanked by Zoe Kravitz during her acceptance speech while his colleague Sal Saperstein (Ike Barinholtz) gets name-dropped by multiple winners.
