Chapter 1: What are the highlights of the 2026 Golden Globes?
Taste the forbidden fruit of knowledge. The Last Show with David Cooper.
Hockey. Is there anything more gay? Well, you might think the answer is no to that question, but there's a new series on HBO about gay hockey players and also the Golden Globes. Those are the things we're going to discuss here with Caitlin Green, he said, as he did one of the best introductions of his career. Caitlin Green's a media personality.
You can find her co-hosting the Jan Arden podcast as well. Caitlin, awards season. Welcome in.
This is my season. I'm so thrilled. I love it because there are so many little things to pick over that happen at every award show. And every award show has its own flavor. And the Golden Globes is firmly planted in the fun category. The celebrities all sit together at these tables. They all get drunk. They're served food, unlike the Oscars. So it's less stuffy and kind of just a better time.
And it's the least prestigious, so it's kind of like the celebrities enter it with this I don't G-A-F attitude, you know? Like they don't really care because it's not an Emmy, it's not an Oscar, that kind of thing.
Yeah, it's the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. And it's definitely gone through a roller coaster of sort of importance. And I think it's a bit back as an award show. And people like it. I don't know that it's a good decider for what's going to happen at the Oscars on its own.
There are a lot of other awards that happen that I think statistically are more likely to indicate who will win an Oscar. But this is nice. These are always like, this is a nice to have. No actor or actress is going to say, I don't care about winning the Golden Globes. You do. You still do.
I think it's more honest lumping TV and movies in together. I don't know. I think this big divide between the two right now makes no sense with streaming.

Chapter 2: How does Caitlin Green describe the atmosphere of the Golden Globes?
But this is a conversation maybe for another time. Let's talk about the actual awards.
Well, okay. The good thing too about this awards show that I think you'll appreciate since this show is also a podcast is they now have a best podcast category.
Yes. And who won that one, by the way?
Okay. So Amy Poehler's podcast won for Good Hang. And look, I love that show, but it's so new. Like her and Mel Robbins were both nominated. And I was like, these are new, but Amy is new, new. So I felt like if you were, you know, Alex Cooper or the people at NPR or Dax Shepard, you'd be a bit like...
happy because everyone in hollywood likes amy poehler and she's great but also like she's not been around for that long with this pod that was how i felt i would have liked to see somebody who had a longer run-up fair enough and she's like kind of an actress who you know turned podcaster she hasn't spent her life in journalism like some of these other people i guess No, she's not Marc Maron.
She's not like, you know, she's not sort of the godmother of podcasting. She's very new to this and she's totally leveraging her celebrity. But like the guys from Smartless also were nominated.
Yeah, I was trying to listen to Smartless the other day. That's Jason Bateman.
Jason Bateman, Will Arnett. And the other guy. I'm going to butcher. No, and I love him so much. He's from Will and Grace. This is going to drive me crazy that I can't remember. Anyways, keep going.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, my friend worked with him on a podcast and I saw him on a show on Broadway. It was called Goodnight Oscar. What is his name? Sean... Yes. Sean Hayes? No, Sean Hayes. Okay. Anyway, but back to... Yeah, it's like they're just celebrities.

Chapter 3: What controversies surrounded the Golden Globes this year?
And now she has like, she has Kamala Harris on. So I mean, her interview skills have come a long way. Like I've listened to her for a while. She's actually a really good interviewer. So I did find it a bit fluffy that like, you know, Amy has just this sort of like nice chat with celebrities she's friends with and she won. But the production value is great on that show.
And I'm really just happy to see podcasts celebrated as content now.
Me too. Me, me too. Okay, let's talk about Heated Rivalry, the HBO. I'm going to watch it. I've told my girlfriend I will watch it. It is about two gay hockey players. And I mean, it's the most violent of the professional sports. They sort of allow fighting. What's more gay than that? A bunch of dudes grabbing each other on the ice? Come on.
football football for starters oh yeah yeah you're maybe right now that i think about it that's a it's more of a group activity yeah 100 football is this show is controversial and i honestly don't really get it it's 2026 is it i there are those that are like you know especially in hockey a sport that doesn't famously have too many openly gay players that's every sport True. Yeah. True.
But there's no other series right now featuring two gay players in those sports.
Yeah. I mean, I think that the thing about this is like maybe it just depends on like what side of the Internet you're on.

Chapter 4: Which celebrities won major awards at the Golden Globes?
Mine is like overly obsessed and celebratory of this show. And it was a book before and the book series was wildly successful. Yeah. So I think that my take from heated rivalry has been, it's rare now in 2026 to see two stars who were literally just discovered, not famous, not Nepo babies. This isn't Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter.
This isn't some, you know, and they didn't start on some teen show and then they just came out of nowhere. These people were just, they had 5,000 followers. And then one day they have 1.5 million followers and they are doing every single outlet. They are the biggest story on the red carpet of the Golden Globes. The show's not even nominated. It just became a hit within like the last two months.
And the second they arrive, everyone from like GQ to Vogue to the New York Times, all of their social accounts, it's just like, oh my God, they're here. They're following them at every after party. They want to read their lips. And the Canadian guy of the two, because the actor's names are Connor Story and then the Canadian one is Hudson Williams. He has no media training.
He talks about it all the time. He says he doesn't want any. And so he goes around like a regular citizen, like one of us, when he goes to these things, talking about how sweaty he is on camera, saying he's too tired. He doesn't want to talk to anyone anymore. Like, it's just great to see them.
You like that? You like that? No media training, loosey goosey. I'm having a panic attack right now. I don't know what's going on. And I'm going to say it to whoever's got a microphone in front of me.
He's more confident than that. And he's more, there's something that undercuts sort of the seriousness, the how serious we all take this about him because he's brand new. It's like watching a toddler walk into a room. Like he just has never been here before. He was on the set of Canadian indie movies literally six months ago.
and so now he's here and i think he realizes that it's crazy and kind of ridiculous um but him and his co-star connor story have great chemistry and they have great chemistry wherever they go even at parties and stuff so i like it now look that shtick could get old but for right now i'm enjoying it tell me about media training like what would you have these guys do any differently
Well, any sort of media training would just mean that when you get places, you're going to be like much more aware of your angles. And when you do your interviews, it's a lot of like, I'm so excited to be here. Oh, my goodness. Like, look at this famous person over here. Like a little bit more. Gee, gosh, like I'm the new person.
And instead, he's just like, oh, my God, it's hot on this red carpet. I'm so sweaty. Can you give me one minute before I answer this question? And like, he's just not he's just telling you something that you would hear from a regular human being.

Chapter 5: What fashion trends were prominent on the Golden Globes red carpet?
And look, there were moments of sparkle. I saw a lot of really nice sparkle, silver, some green sparkle too. And some black and white, like Selena Gomez and Charli XCX had a really beautiful black and white on. But for the men, it was really all black everything. You're going to see some dazzling on the lapel, lots of brooches happening for men. But yeah, black gowns aplenty.
It was a moody kind of gothic rock and roll red carpet. And I thought it looked chic as hell.
Do celebs have like an iMessage group chat, and if you have an Android, you're out, where they coordinate this kind of thing? Like, how do they all align on a color to wear on the red carpet? Like, who's, is it the stylist? Is it the fashion? Is it the clothing companies? How do they all know to wear black?
Ding, ding, ding. It's the stylist. It's the stylist. And like, it is something you would hope that you encourage away from because nobody wants to be on the red carpet looking the same as everybody else, obviously.
And that will embarrassingly happen to some, I have seen some big name Hollywood stylists actually have two of their clients show up to an event in the same outfit, which is like the ultimate faux pas. It's fire worthy if you are a This is what the stylists who have relationship with these houses are going to wear.
And if the celebrity you're seeing has a partnership with say Chanel or Louis Vuitton or whatever, they're being paid to wear them during award season, then yeah, they're all going to wear that. They're all going to wear black. They're all going to wear the same diamonds.
Can we talk best actress for a comedy in TV, Jean Smart in the show Hacks? Because she is playing the role of a lifetime in that show for anyone who hasn't seen it. She's kind of this washed up Vegas resident comedian. She meets a millennial or a Gen Z girl who's a writer who's all about like telling your real story.
And she has this stunning career transformation where she starts telling the truth about her career and all the trauma she's had and stuff. And at first she's not successful and then she is. And it's just a wonderful show and it's a wonderful role and it's a wonderful exploration of like what art making truly can be. It's one of my favorite TV programs and she does such a good job in it.
And I don't even know what the question is, Caitlin. I just want to say she's great and I'm glad she won an award.
