Travis Kelce is out and Candace Owens is in, according to the Golden Globes in its inaugural issuing of an award for best podcast.
On the same day Taylor Swift released her latest album, Kelce, her fiancé, was shut out of the Globes.
The awards released a short list of 25 eligible podcasts Friday and Travis and his brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” show wasn’t included.
But while the Kelces got cut, the slate of potential Globes-winning podcasters — selected by audio analytics company Luminate (owned by Penske Media, which also owns the Golden Globes and trades like Variety, the Hollywood Reporter and Deadline) — was heavy on conservative commentators.
Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro, Theo Von and Owens all made the list.
Owens had a falling out with slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, The Post reported, after her views became too extreme. (She has 3 million YouTube followers, but has been accused by detractors of promoting conspiracy theories and antisemitism.)
The podcast category also includes more mainstream Hollywood names like Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler and Dax Shepard, “Call Her Daddy” phenom Alex Cooper and “Let Them” guru Mel Robbins, plus liberal shows like “Pod Save America.”
Come Dec. 8, the 25 shows will be whittled to six nominees.
Will liberal Hollywood vote for names like Carlson and Rogan? And what will they say from the stage if they win?
Last year, Kelly called Globes nominated film “Conclave” a “disgusting anti-Catholic film.”
Carlson said of Meryl Streep’s speech at the 2017 Globes: “To be in a room full with rich Hollywood liberals and say liberal things . . . It would be really interesting . . . to stand up and say something they disagreed with.”
He’s also said, “Hollywood is going out of business because they don’t understand the country . . . They’re completely out of touch because they’re rich and entitled.”
