Seth Rogen wins Best Actor in a Comedy Series at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards for 'The Studio' and delivers a hilarious acceptance speech.

"I can cancel therapy this week, this is like--I'm good. I'm fixed. - Seth Rogen"

Los Angeles, January 5

Actor Seth Rogen won the award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series at the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards, held in Santa Monica, California, according to E! News.

Rogen received the honour for his performance in 'The Studio' during the ceremony, which was hosted by comedian Chelsea Handler for the fourth consecutive year.

"This is so nice as someone who deeply, deeply, deeply cares what critics think of them and their work," Seth joked from the stage while accepting the award." This is what I'm looking for. I can cancel therapy this week, this is like--I'm good. I'm fixed. I'm fine, I think," as quoted by E! News.

The 43-year-old actor edged out fellow nominees Adam Brody (Nobody Wants This), Ted Danson (A Man on the Inside), David Alan Grier (St. Denis Medical), Danny McBride (The Righteous Gemstones) and Alexander Skarsgard (Murderbot).

"Thank you all for this," Seth said to the crowd. "I love all your work so much, it's an honor to be in a room with you all."

Rogen also thanked his co-creator Evan Goldberg, adding that he "is literally in the bathroom, but we'll tell him that I won when we get back," as quoted by the outlet.

In addition to Seth winning for Best Actor, The Studio picked up the award for Best Comedy Series, beating Nobody Wants This, Abbott Elementary, Elsbeth, Ghosts, Hacks, Only Murders in the Building and The Righteous Gemstones, according to E! News.

The Critics Choice Awards marked the first major awards ceremony of the season. On the film front, Michael B. Jordan's Sinners led the nominations with 17 nods, followed by Leonardo DiCaprio's One Battle After Another with 14 nominations.

Chelsea Handler, in her opening monologue, used her trademark humour to welcome the audience, calling the event "the perfect way to kick off awards season."

The 31st Critics Choice Awards are held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

Seth Rogen is genuinely funny. His acceptance speeches are always the best part of these shows. "My co-creator is in the bathroom" – classic! Wish our Indian award shows had this kind of spontaneous, less scripted humour sometimes.

Happy for him, but honestly, I haven't even heard of 'The Studio'. Is it streaming anywhere in India? Feels like we only get news of these niche Western shows winning awards, but no way to actually watch them easily here.

As someone who follows Hollywood awards, this is a well-deserved win. The category was strong with Danson and McBride. Rogen has evolved so much from just the stoner-comedy roles. Respect for acknowledging his peers in the room.

His joke about critics is spot on! In our film industry too, critics' opinions weigh so heavily, even if actors pretend they don't care. It's a universal feeling. Wishing him more success. 🏆

While I appreciate the win, I do wish Indian media gave this much coverage to our own regional film awards and brilliant comic actors. We have so much talent here that deserves the spotlight too. Just a thought.
