Seth Rogen took home the award for Best Actor in a TV Series Musical or Comedy at the 2026 Golden Globes on Sunday for his role in The Studio. It marked his first win at the awards show, but his second nomination. He was first nominated in 2023 for Best Supporting Actor in a TV Limited Series/Motion Picture. That nod was for his role in the controversial series Pam & Tommy, on which he also served as a producer.
Pamela Anderson, the real-life subject of the show, attended the 2025 Golden Globes as a nominee herself for The Last Showgirl, but was unsettled by Rogen being there, too. “He was in the pit at the Golden Globes, so we were close,” Anderson told Andy Cohen on SiriusXM this week. “I just left like, I’m not chopped liver over here. I felt a little bit weird about it … It just felt a little yucky.”
While they didn’t share any direct interactions, Anderson says she imagined confronting him over his participation in Pam & Tommy. “I didn’t make a beeline for him, but in my mind I did,” she said. “And really told him how I felt.”
The series, which premiered in 2022, followed the unauthorised sale of Anderson and Tommy Lee’s sex tape by Rand Gauthier, a disgruntled electrician hired to renovate their home. That’s the role Rogen played. “He did that [show] without talking to me,” Anderson said. “How can someone make a TV series out of difficult times in your life? I’m a living, breathing human being over here.”
Still struggling to feel like she belongs at the Golden Globes, despite her recent films, Anderson decided to leave the ceremony after they presented her category. Anderson continued, “I still struggle to feel like I belong somewhere like the Golden Globes.” She is still waiting for Rogen to offer some sort of apology for taking part in Pam & Tommy. “Eventually, hopefully, maybe he’ll reach out to me and apologise,” she said. “Not that that matters. When you are a public person, they say you have no right to privacy. But your darkest, deepest secrets or your tragedies in your life shouldn’t be fair game for a TV series.”
Commenting on the series in 2023, Anderson told Rolling Stone, “It really gives me nightmares. I didn’t sleep last night at all. I have no desire to watch it. Not going to watch it. Never watched the tape; I’m not going to watch this. Who knows how they’re even going to portray it? Nobody knows what we were going through at the time. They should have had to have my permission.”
