Jeff Daniels, Bill Murray, Chloe Zhao, Jodie Foster (in fabulous silk pyjamas) and Sudeikis all opted for comfort, and we respect them for it.

The actor's recent breakup, and his ex Olivia Wilde's new relationship with Harry Styles, featured heavily in the speculation about where the actor's head might currently be at

(It's worth noting that Sudeikis is reportedly in a bubble in London with his family, including Wilde, and it was 2:30 a.m. there when he was called on for his acceptance speech.)

Ted Lasso, the show, and Ted Lasso, the character created and played by Sudeikis, have been a wholesome, life-affirming bright spot in this pandemic year. Here's hoping this iconic moment portends a chill and positive year for Coach.
