Who the Heated Rivalry stars will sit with at the Golden Globes - we're jealous

"With awards season in full swing, steamy gay hockey drama Heated Rivalry's impact is being felt. Despite not being nominated for a Golden Globe, breakout stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams are at one of the top tables. Storrie and Williams' meteoric rise has been matched by a press tour for the ages. Both actors are making their late-night debuts and mingling with A-listers."

"Sitting in close proximity to the stage, Storrie will sit to the left of Brat icon Charli XCX. Williams will be sitting beside Storrie and next to Hamnet nominees Cabaret's Jessie Buckley and The History of Sound's Paul Mescal. It may just be the coolest table of the 2026 awards season. It's an intimidating table of stars and yet they're giving 'you can sit with us' energy."

"'They could do the funniest thing at the Golden Globes' As fans pointed out, they have the opportunity to recreate the Heated Rivalry scene in which their characters awkwardly present a hockey award together. Ilya and Shane attempt to keep their professional composure while standing together under bright lights, hiding that they're sleeping together. Storrie and Williams shot to fame in the the LGBTQ+ hockey show, which follows two rising ice hockey stars."

Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams from Heated Rivalry will sit at a top Golden Globes table alongside Charli XCX, Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal. Neither actor received a Golden Globe nomination, but both will present an award together and occupy seats close to the stage. Both performers have experienced rapid fame, extensive press touring, and late-night TV debuts while mingling with A-listers. Fans hope they might recreate an awkward award-presentation scene from their show. The series follows closeted Canadian prodigy Shane (Williams) and bisexual Russian star Ilya (Storrie) navigating an almost decade-long illicit romance. A second season was commissioned in December 2025, and the first season will premiere on Sky.
