Seth Rogen and Catherine O’Hara couldn’t resist talking up their Canadian acting roots when appearing on stage at the Golden Globes on Sunday night.
But the work they pretended to reminisce about wasn’t family-friendly.
The duo riffed about having earned trophies like the “Golden Antler” and “Beaver” as they presented the best female actor in a limited series or TV movie prize. “You see, in Canada, we don’t have America’s puritanical roots. So pornographic films are as lauded as much as non-pornographic films,” Rogen observed from the Golden Globes stage.
The actor went on to highlight his fake award-winning adult film work north of the border, with credits like Log Riders, Sticky Syrup and The Moose Knuckles trilogy. “Wait, you won the Beaver?” O’Hara interrupted.
“We won the Beaver! Actually, we swept the Beavers that year. It was a multi-Beaver winning film,” Rogen said straight-faced about Moose Knuckles 2. He then applauded a grinning O’Hara for winning two Golden Antlers for her star turn as the mother of Alanis Morissette in a biopic that like, much of their early Canadian work had yet to get a stateside release.
“Thank you, yes, yes, very intense … I’m still just letting go,” O’Hara said of her performance in The Alanis Morissette Story. She then threw it back to Rogen for winning his own Golden Antler after apparently playing Ryan Gosling, another Canadian-born star in Hollywood, in an unauthorized biopic.
“But none of these compare to your Gilded Gretzky-winning role in an Otters Tale, the story of a woman who rescues an otter cub and nursed it back to health with her own breast milk,” Rogen then said of another fake O’Hara trophy-winning performance. “And ever since I was a child, I wondered how you shot those scenes with that otter.” he added.
“Painfully, yes. I think the otter was method, and I lost half a nipple, but that led to a lot of fun, very hard R-rated comedies,” O’Hara insisted.
The Canadian duo attended the Golden Globes on the same day Apple TV+ dropped a first clip from The Studio, Rogen and O’Hara’s satirical comedy about the inner workings of Hollywood.
Golden Globes producer Dick Clark Productions is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Penske Media Corporation and Eldridge that also owns The Hollywood Reporter.
