Jason Sudeikis Wins Golden Globe Award for Apple TV+ Comedy Series 'Ted Lasso'

[MacRumors]

Jason Sudeikis today won a Golden Globe Award for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series" in the "Musical or Comedy" category for his starring role in the hit Apple TV+ comedy series "Ted Lasso."

Sudeikis stars as the title character Ted Lasso, a small-time college football coach from Kansas hired to coach a professional soccer team in England, despite having no experience coaching soccer. The show has received positive reviews, with many viewers finding solace in Lasso's unrelenting positivity, especially during these trying times in the world.

Other nominees in the category included:

• Don Cheadle - "Black Monday"
• Nicholas Hoult - "The Great"
• Eugene Levy - "Schitt's Creek"
• Ramy Youssef - "Ramy"

The annual Golden Globe Awards honor the best of both U.S. and international film and U.S. television, as chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. This is the first Golden Globe Award won by an Apple TV+ original or performer. Apple TV+ had three other nominations this year, but did not win those.

The cast of Ted Lasso will be participating in a virtual panel discussion at the PaleyFest television festival, with a video of the discussion to be released on April 1 at 7 a.m. Pacific Time. The panel will feature Sudeikis, series creator Bill Lawrence, and other cast members from the hit show, such as Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Brendan Hunt, Juno Temple, Nick Mohammed, Brett Goldstein, and Phil Dunster.

Ted Lasso has been renewed for second and third seasons, with the second season expected to premiere at some point in summer 2021.

Congrats! I loved the show, and I hope to see more great content on Apple TV+!

I'm embarrassed to say the trailer for the show led to believe I wouldn't like it. Last week I was bored so I watched the first episode, I couldn't stop watching. I ended up binge-watching the enitre first season. Loved it, one of my favourite shows now.

Apple TV + is the only streaming service where I feel like I can click into literally anything and it’ll be 10/10. Can’t say the same for Netflix or (oh god) Prime.

Well deserved, bravo!

Glad for Jason. It is a great show.

 

[cmaier]

He definitely deserved it.

Congratulations to Jason, he hasn’t had a great year personally. I enjoyed the first season and am looking forward to the next.

I was exactly the same as you. I told my friends to give it a chance too and they are loving it. Maybe Apple need to market their shows better as I found all the ones I've watched to be a lot better than i assumed based on the trailer or synopsis.

Well deserved, I binged watched the series in 6 hours over the holidays

I love that Jason Sudekis won. It makes me so happy, especially that it seems he’s had a rough year personally.

 

[dannyyankou]

Was Waddingham nominated too? She deserves some consideration I think.

 

[decypher44]

Well deserved!!!

Am I the only one that thinks this show is rubbish?

 

[sigurros]

Hands-down the best and most entertaining show this year! Well deserved!

 

[SuperMatt]

Am I the only one that thinks this show is rubbish?

Probably not the only one, but that is definitely a minority opinion.

I wouldn’t say it’s all 10/10, but you have a great point. There is no trash (so far) on ATV+ IMO. Much closer to HBO than Netflix or prime.

 

[BWhaler]

Well deserved. His performance his fantastic. Great show.

My standards are low lol, I'm a Prime subscriber after all

 

[Mainsail]

I really like the show. For me, the appeal is that the main character, played by Sudeikis, is eternally optimistic. It is the perfect antidote for 2020.....and maybe 2021.

 

[ErikGrim]

Am I the only one that thinks this show is rubbish?

Quite possibly, yes

 

[LFC2020]

Really enjoyed this show, knocked it out of the park.

 

[Daws001]

Well deserved. One of my favorite shows last year.
