Apple TV on Sunday was honored with three wins at the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards, including Best Television Series — Musical or Comedy for “The Studio,” Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series — Musical or Comedy for “The Studio” lead Seth Rogen, and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series — Drama for “Pluribus” star Rhea Seehorn, marking the first Golden Globe Award wins for Rogen and Seehorn. “The Studio” recently became the most Emmy-winning freshman comedy in history with 13 wins, including Outstanding Comedy and Outstanding Lead Actor for Seth Rogen. The series has also been recognized with Critics Choice Award wins for Best Comedy, Best Actor in a Comedy for Seth Rogen and Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for Ike Barinholtz, and is one of the few series to land the Golden Globe, Emmy and Critics Choice Awards for Best Comedy. Honors for “The Studio” also include an American Film Institute Award for TV Program of the Year; Actor Award nominations including Outstanding Ensemble, Outstanding Male Actors Seth Rogen and Ike Barinholtz, and Outstanding Female Actors Catherine O’Hara and Kathryn Hahn; as well as nominations from the Directors Guild, Producers Guild, Casting Society Artios Awards, Art Directors Guild, Costume Designers Guild, American Society of Cinematographers, The Make-Up & Hair Stylists Guild, and Film Independent Spirit Awards, among many others. This is the latest honor for smash hit “Pluribus” after Seehorn’s win for Best Actress in a Drama Series at the Critics Choice Awards last weekend, alongside accolades to date that include an American Film Institute Award for TV Program of the Year, an Actor Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama for Seehorn, nominations from the Producers Guild and the Art Directors Guild, and a GLAAD Media Award nomination for Outstanding New TV Series. These wins are Apple’s most recent recognition from the Golden Globe Awards, following Lily Gladstone’s groundbreaking win in 2024 for “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Paul Walter Hauser’s Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series win for “Black Bird” in 2023. To date, Apple Original films, documentaries and series have been honored with 682 wins and 3,115 award nominations and counting, including multi-Emmy Award-winning, history-making comedies “The Studio” and “Ted Lasso,” and Oscar Best Picture winner “CODA.” Apple’s three wins for the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards include: “The Studio” “Pluribus” “The Studio” and “Pluribus” are currently streaming on Apple TV. “The Studio” In “The Studio,” Seth Rogen stars as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of embattled Continental Studios. As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films. With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps and breathes movies, it’s the job Matt’s been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him. “Pluribus” Starring Rhea Seehorn and created by Vince Gilligan, “Pluribus” is a genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness. Apple TV offers premium, compelling drama and comedy series, feature films, groundbreaking documentaries, and kids and family entertainment, and is available to watch across all of a user’s favorite screens. After its launch on November 1, 2019, Apple TV became the first all-original streaming service to launch around the world, and has premiered more original hits and received more award recognitions faster than any other streaming service in its debut. Apple TV is available on the Apple TV app in over 100 countries and regions, on over 1 billion screens, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV 4K, Apple Vision Pro, Mac, popular smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, VIZIO, TCL and others, Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices, Chromecast with Google TV, PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles, and at for $12.99 per month with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers. For a ltv.apple.com,imited time, customers who purchase and activate a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Mac can enjoy three months of Apple TV for free. As for the blatant snubbing of “Severance” and “Pluribus” which any critic worth anything will tell you are clearly better than “The Pitt,” they canceled each other out: Many awards (like the Oscars, Grammys, and the Golden Globes Best Television Series – Drama category) use simple plurality voting (everyone picks one favorite; highest vote count wins). In these systems: • When multiple strong nominees such as “Severance” and “Pluribus” appeal to the same voter bloc (e.g., similar genres, styles, actors from the same film, or overlapping fanbases), their support gets fragmented. • A different nominee with a more consolidated (but smaller) base, such as yet another hospital series that we’ve all seen a thousand times before like “The Pitt,” can slip through and win. This is why Ranked Choice Voting is used in the Academy Awards for Best Picture. For its Best Television Series – Drama category, at least, the Golden Globes should adopt Ranked Choice Voting, Approval Voting, the Condorcet method or some other more meaningful method of voting. As for “The Studio:” Kudos to Apple TV, Seth Rogen et al. for gaming the system so proficiently. If “make us an awards magnet” was the assignment, Seth Rogen understood it and aced the test. “The Studio” is custom-made to win awards. There’s nothing more that Hollywood loves than itself. “The Studio” should rack up awards for as many seasons as it lasts. – MacDailyNews, September 15, 2025 There are myriad examples of movies and TV shows about the business of making movies/TV shows that reaped industry praise and awards — i.e., Hollywood celebrating and congratulating itself (and, yes, some of the following deserved to be recognized): Movies: TV: Support MacDailyNews at no extra cost to you by using this link to shop at Amazon.
