- Steinfeld’s film “Sinners” claimed two wins from seven nominations
- Why it matters: The couple dominated both Hollywood and NFL headlines in one night
Hailee Steinfeld proved you can own two stages at once. While the pregnant actress presented at the Beverly Hilton ceremony, her partner Josh Allen engineered a dramatic Bills playoff win 2,500 miles away.
The Ceremony Shout-Out
As Steinfeld stepped onstage to present, the Globes announcer delivered a direct nod to Allen’s team.
“Please welcome one of the stars of ‘Sinners,’ Hailee Steinfeld – congrats on that Bills’ win,” the voiceover said, also naming co-presenter “Golden Globe winner Ayo Edebiri.”
The quarterback missed the star-studded event to face the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium in Florida. With 67 seconds left, Allen scored the touchdown that sealed a 27-24 victory. The result ended a three-decade drought, giving Buffalo its first road playoff win in over thirty years.
Red-Carpet Radiance
Steinfeld arrived in a peach-colored, floor-length Prada gown that showcased her baby bump. Allen, watching from Florida, shared a photo of the look on social media paired with a single drooling emoji.
The actress is expecting the couple’s first child. She has not revealed the due date.
“Sinners” Double Win
The horror film dominated its categories. Out of seven nominations, “Sinners” captured:
- Cinematic and Box Office Achievement
- Best Original Score
Ryan Coogler directed the Jim Crow-era thriller. Steinfeld plays Mary, a white-passing Black woman navigating racial terror in the South.
“When I read the script, it was one of those things where it’s just a feeling,” Steinfeld told “Who What Wear” in February. “It’s a feeling I’ve only got a handful of times, and that’s a privilege and a blessing.”
She called the part “a role I had been waiting for” and added, “I hope and pray that I get to do a million more of these because I do think that’s part of this next phase of life.”
