Jennifer Coolidge is calling out sexism in Hollywood in the most Jennifer Coolidge way possible
While presenting the Golden Globe for Best Male actor in a Musical/Comedy Television Series, the 63-year-old actress jokingly noted how hard it is for these men to carry an “entire television series.”
“Tonight, I have the incredible honor of recognizing the men who had the daunting task of carrying the weight of an entire series on their shoulders,” Coolidge began.

“And believe me, it’s not easy. I mean, I do know how hard it is for you guys to have to pretend to be nice to everybody,” the White Lotus alum quipped.
She then recalled moments throughout her career where men were treated differently from her on set.
“I was on a job once, and the lead male actor was the only one that got green juice,” she shared.
“Billy Bob Thornton was allowed to bring his pet coyote and I wasn’t even allowed to bring my overweight triplets,” she joked as the audience broke into laughter.

2025 Golden Globe Awards: Full List of Winners
View Story
Coolidge presented the award to Jeremy Allen White for his role as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto on The Bear.
However, White was unable to attend the ceremony, so Coolidge accepted the award on his behalf. This is the third Golden Globe White has won for his performance on The Bear, plus two Primetime Emmy Awards.
The pair have a bit of history, as they were paired together for Variety’s Actors on Actors series in 2023 — where they revealed they first met at the Golden Globes while waiting to have their statuettes engraved.
