Seth Rogen Calls Out Golden Globes’ Awkward Camera Angle

“I want to start by saying this whole angled camera thing is very weird,” Seth Rogen said when he took the stage with Catherine O’Hara to present at the Golden Globe Awards Sunday night, uttering out loud what everyone watching at home had been thinking about the odd choices being made by the show’s producers.

“It’s inelegant, it’s strange, this whole half of the room can see my bald spot,” he continued, referencing the large portion of the crowd who was staring at his back. “I would have filled that in.”

After spending several minutes talking about the much more “prestigious” awards he and O’Hara have won in their native Canada, Rogen joked that “we know, of course, that there’s no higher honor winning a Golden Globe—absolutely nothing.”

“There is no award better in all of Hollywood than the Golden Globes,” he said to knowing laughs from the crowd of peers. “Period.”

Rogen’s brutal honesty recalled the moment at the 2021 Emmy Awards when he went off on the producers of that show for gathering hundreds of people together indoors in the middle of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.

“What are we doing? They said this was outdoors—it’s not! They lied to us,” Rogen ranted from he stage that year, going off-script. “We’re in a hermetically-sealed tent right now. I would not have come to this. Why is there a roof? It’s more important that we have three chandeliers than that we make sure we don’t kill Eugene Levy tonight. That is what has been decided.”

“This is insane!” he concluded.
