Alex Cooper's popular podcast 'Call Her Daddy' has been named among the nominees for the newly introduced Golden Globe Award for Best Podcast in 2026. The show, which explores sex and relationships with guests including former Vice President Kamala Harris, actress Jane Fonda, and reality star Kim Kardashian, is competing against five other podcasts.
The list of nominated podcasts includes 'Armchair Expert with Dex Shepard,' 'Good Hang with Amy Poehler,' 'Up First,' 'The Mel Robbins Podcast,' and 'Smartless.' Only 25 podcasts were eligible for the award, which was selected based on listener metrics.
The Golden Globe Awards are not a new category, but rather one that has been added to next year's ceremony. The Philadelphia region is also well-represented in this year's nominations, with actress Amanda Seyfried earning two nods, including one for her role in 'Long Bright River' and another for her upcoming film 'The Testament of Ann Lee.'
Mark Ruffalo, a native Philadelphian who grew up in Delaware County, has been nominated for best actor in a drama television series for his work on the HBO miniseries 'Task.' The show is set in Delaware County and was directed by Brad Inglesby.
Additionally, the ABC sitcom 'Abbott Elementary,' which premiered in 2021 and has received numerous Golden Globe nominations, including three wins in 2023, has also been nominated. Quinta Brunson, a star of the show, won for best actress last year, while Tyler Williams earned an award for best actor.
Hannah Einbinder, who plays a young comedian in the HBO series 'Hacks,' has received a nomination for best supporting actress. The show follows her character's mentorship with an industry icon, and Einbinder has spoken publicly about her love of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Finally, Kevin Hart has been nominated for best performance in a stand-up comedy special for his latest show, 'Acting My Age.'

she's so funny and real 
i'm not surprised though, the podcast is literally the best way to get the tea on celebrity relationships 
anyway, it's cool to see philly reps making waves in hollywood, amanda seyfried is a total boss 
mark ruffalo is amazing too, he's been acting for ages 
and abbott elementary is like my favorite show ever, quinta brunson and tyler williams are so talented 
let's hope alex cooper wins that award! 
. Think about it, they're choosing podcasts that are just going to be a bunch of shallow conversations about sex and relationships. Meanwhile, there's so much more going on beneath the surface. Like, have you noticed how all these nominees seem to have connections to Philly? It's like they're trying to promote some sort of agenda 
. And what's with all these actors from Philly being nominated? Is it just a coincidence that their shows are all set in Delaware County? I don't think so, fam 
. There's more to this than meets the eye.
. I'm also loving the fact that Philly is repping so hard this year 
- Amanda Seyfried, Mark Ruffalo, Quinta Brunson, Hannah Einbinder... we're just so talented and awesome 
. I'm really hoping Call Her Daddy wins, but even if they don't, it's still super cool that Alex Cooper is getting the recognition she deserves 
. Bring on 2026 and let's get ready to celebrate some amazing talent!
! I mean, who would've thought that a podcast about sex and relationships would get recognized by the Golden Globes 
- 3 nominations from our very own Queen Amanda Seyfried 
, Mark Ruffalo 
, Quinta Brunson 
... it's like they're taking over the awards circuit 
! Did you know that 'Abbott Elementary' has already won three Golden Globes in 2023 
? And Kevin Hart is nominated for his stand-up special 
. I'm predicting Alex Cooper will win this category 
, what do u think?! 
. I mean, podcastin's become so popular and it's great to see the big ones like Call Her Daddy gettin' nodded for it. But what I'd love to see is more diversity in the nominees, ya know? Like, more from smaller podcasts or indie shows that are really makin' a difference. Not just the big names that everyone already knows about 
. And also, why not make it a bit more inclusive? Maybe considerin' some of the international podcasts too, 'cause the world's a global village now 
. Just thinkin', and I'm excited to see what's gonna happen at the Golden Globes next year 
like they'd be rocking a tiny mic on MySpace or something lol. but for real though, it's dope to see these podcasters getting snatched up by the Golden Globes 
I remember when podcasts were still a thing people did at home (I guess that was like 5 years ago?) and now we've got a whole new level of production quality and star power. anyway, 'Call Her Daddy' is def going to take some competition from those other nominated shows 
that'd be some next level tea 
.
. Also, Mark Ruffalo's from Philly too?! 
and seeing Hannah Einbinder get nominated for her role in 'Hacks' is just the best! Fingers crossed for all these talented creators to win 
. And don't even get me started on how they're selecting podcasts based on listener metrics - it's basically just a popularity contest, not actual quality or substance 
.
. And have you seen the list of nominees? It's just a bunch of shows and podcasts from Philly and LA - where's the diversity, man?
