Why Amy Poehler’s 'Good Hang' Missed 2026 Ambies Nominations After Golden Globe Win
Amy Poehler's 'Good Hang' podcast missed the 2026 Ambies nominations despite its Golden Globe win. Discover why Spotify's policy led to this unexpected snub.
Shaking hands but holding a fist. Just days after making history at the 2026 Golden Globes, Amy Poehler’s hit podcast Good Hang faces a stark reality check. Despite winning the first-ever Best Podcast prize on January 11, 2026, the show didn't secure a single nomination for the prestigious Ambies, the Podcast Academy's top honors.
The Reason Behind the Amy Poehler Good Hang Ambies 2026 Snub
According to Entertainment Weekly, the exclusion isn't about quality but corporate policy. Spotify, which distributes the series, reportedly doesn't submit its shows for awards as a general rule. Since the Podcast Academy, founded in February 2020, relies on submissions, the Golden Globe winner was never even in the running for a nomination.
Industry Contrast: Success of Independent Submissions
While Poehler was sidelined, other big names thrived. Will Arnett’sSmartLess grabbed 3 nominations, including Podcast of the Year. Other nominees like 'Call Her Daddy' and 'Crime Junkie' also made the cut, highlighting a growing divide between creators on platforms with strict non-submission policies and those who prioritize industry awards.
