Jason Sudeikis left viewers wondering why he was dressed so causally last night at the 2021 Golden Globes, despite all nominees appearing only in digital from from all around the globe.
Sudeikis won Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his lead role on AppleTV+’s Ted Lasso. He humbly accepted the award by admitting that the only reason he had been able to succeed in the role was because of his co-stars.

“In my humble opinion the best actor is the person you are acting with. So I want to give a shoutout to everyone that I get a chance to act on the show because they are incredible,” he said in his acceptance speech. “Do they make me the best? I know for a fact that they make me better. Better than I am. Better than I thought I could be. Better than, you know, anything I could do.”
The actor, who is currently in London filming season two of the series, accepted the speech by wearing a tie-dyed sweatshirt that read, “forward.”
When asked if Sudeikis was wearing merchandise for a charity, the actor revealed to reporters that the hoodie was from his sister, Kristen Sudeikis’ company.
“I don’t know if you have siblings but when they do something you believe in, you encourage them to do it and you don’t refer to it as product placement.”
Another reporter asked if the actor was trying to send a message as he was the first to accept a Golden Globe in causal clothes, Sudeikis said he was not.
“I believe, when people that you care about do cool, interesting things that you should support them,” he explained. “So, this is no different than that. I have a multitude of hoodies, I could have worn for a multitude of things I believe in and support. You know, this one seemed the most appropriate.”
