Jeremy Allen White might be the king of TV comedy (or at least the bear-y serious chef in The Bear), but even kings sometimes have more pressing royal duties. Like, say, becoming The Boss. Yes, Jeremy won another Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Series β Musical or Comedy, marking his third consecutive win, but guess what? He didnβt even bother showing up. Classic move.
Jennifer Coolidge: The Real MVP of the Night
When his name was announced at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 5, the one and only Jennifer Coolidge stepped in to accept his shiny golden orb of glory. And let’s be real, Jennifer accepting any award automatically makes it better. She probably said something Coolidge-ian like, βOh wow, Jeremy couldnβt make it, but Iβm here, and this is so heavy, like, do they make these lighter versions for petite people? Anyway, congrats, Jeremy, wherever you are!β
So… Where Was He?
Why didnβt Jeremy show up to hear Jennifer Coolidge drop possibly the best acceptance speech of the year on his behalf? Apparently, our guy was stuck on the East Coast, working. An insider spilled the beans, saying Jeremyβs deep in production on a project that couldnβt wait. Oh, the audacity of responsibilities!
Whatβs the Project?
Oh, just a little thing called Deliver Me From Nowhere, where Jeremy transforms into none other than Bruce Springsteen. Thatβs right, heβs trading in his aprons and beef sandwiches for a guitar and denim jacket. Honestly, if youβre going to skip Hollywoodβs biggest party, doing it to channel The Boss seems like a solid excuse.
So, while Jeremy wasnβt there to bask in his Golden Globe glow, we can all rest assured he was somewhere in a leather jacket, growling βBorn to Runβ into the night. Congratulations, Jeremy, on your award and your upcoming transformation into the only man cool enough to make missing the Globes seem totally rock ‘n’ roll.
