Glen Powell had the ultimate dream dates at 2026 Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton on Jan. 11: his parents. The two are there to cheer on Glen, who is nominated for his work on Chad Powers.

The 2026 Golden Globes were a touchdown for Glen Powell.
The Chad Powers star attended the Jan. 11 ceremony with a nomination for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series—Musical or Comedy for his role on the Hulu series, and he was joined by the ultimate dream dates: his dad Glen Powell Sr. and mom Cyndy Powell.
“Hard to get a plus two at the Golden Globes,” Glen joked with Zuri Hall exclusively on Live From E!: Golden Globes 2026 at the Beverly Hilton. “But now they’re staples of the Globes.”
“Technically my mom’s in Chad Powers as well. She didn’t get nominated,” the 37-year-old added. “The biggest snub of the Golden Globes. But she made a good cameo.”
Another person who might one day make a cameo alongside Glen? His pup Brisket. But as Glen quipped, his terrier-poodle is not easily trained.
“Brisket’ll make a cameo probably in something soon,” Glen revealed, laughing that nobody in his family—including his Aunt Honey’s kangaroo Trixie “behaves.”
But when it comes to his big night at the Golden Globes, the Set It Up actor was honored to be nominated in the comedy category, especially alongside Only Murders in the Building stars Steven Martin and Martin Short, sharing they are “two of the guys that got me into this thing in the first place. So I’m just really excited.”
Glen—who is also up against Adam Brody (Nobody Wants This), Seth Rogen (The Studio) and Jeremy Allen White (The Bear)—previously said how thrilled he was to have his work on Chad Powers recognized.
“Feeling so grateful to be recognized for a show that means the world to me,” he wrote on X after the nominations were announced in December. “And it's absolutely surreal to be sharing a category with some of my comedy heroes.”

“Not to bring it back to sports, but with Chad Powers I am truly surrounded by a championship team,” he continued. “Our incredible writers, our tireless crew, and as an actor you're only as good as your teammates... and I get to play with the most brilliant cast every day. There is no greater feeling than watching your costars show up with big ideas and commit to them fearlessly. This group sent me home everyday smiling from ear-to-ear, abs sore, and pinching myself that this is my job.”
But the series wasn’t without its hurdles, especially as he experienced a small medical emergency during filming, in part because of the heavy prosthetics and costumes he was wearing.
“I’m wearing a helmet and a wig and the mask,” he told E! News in September. “And I'm running this football play over and over and over.”
“I got to the end of it, I throw this touchdown,” he recalled. “I scream and I black out.”
Glen shared that while he was “no longer there mentally," he remained standing while blacked out, and when he came to, everyone was staring at him.
“It was bad,” he added. “It was crazy.”
Luckily for Glen, there were no prosthetics he needed to worry about on the red carpet.
