- Hailee Steinfeld is scheduled to present at the 2025 Golden Globes on the same day the Buffalo Bills play the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild-card round.
- Fans questioned whether Steinfeld would travel to Jacksonville to support husband Josh Allen, who is 0-4 in away playoff games.
- Steinfeld is pregnant with her and Allen’s first child and recently starred in the award-contending film Sinners.
Steinfeld confirmed as Golden Globes presenter on Wild Card Sunday
Hailee Steinfeld was named among the presenters for the 2025 Golden Globes in an announcement posted Jan. 8. The event falls on the same day the Buffalo Bills — seeded No. 6 — travel to face the No. 3 Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL wild-card round.
Steinfeld, who has balanced a rising film career with public support for her husband, is expected to be in Los Angeles for Golden Globes rehearsals and presentation duties days before the ceremony.
Fans react to the timing
Social media lit up after the presenters list dropped, with some Bills fans questioning whether Steinfeld’s Golden Globes commitment meant she wouldn’t be able to attend the game in Jacksonville. One fan posted on X (formerly Twitter) asking, “This Sunday? So she won’t…?” while others reminded followers that presenters typically travel to Los Angeles for rehearsals ahead of the show.

Pregnancy and recent awards attention
Steinfeld, who is pregnant with her and Josh Allen’s first child, returned to the big screen last year in the horror film Sinners. The film earned multiple awards-season nominations and became an awards favorite, even though Steinfeld herself did not receive a Golden Globe nomination for the role.
Her husband, Bills quarterback Josh Allen, publicly praised the film — telling HBO’s Hard Knocks he gave Sinners an “A+” and admitted he cried the first time he watched it because he was so proud.
Why the timing matters
The timing has stirred conversation because of Allen’s road playoff history: he is 0-4 in away postseason games, and the Bills have not won a road playoff contest in 32 years. A Jacksonville victory would mark a major milestone for both Allen and the franchise, while some fans see Steinfeld’s Los Angeles commitment as a curious coincidence.
Steinfeld has supported Allen at premieres and NFL events in the past, and outlets note presenters typically need to be on-site in Los Angeles prior to awards shows for rehearsals. With the Bills playing in Florida and the Golden Globes in California, travel logistics make simultaneous in-person attendance unlikely.
For now, attention will be split between the field in Jacksonville and the stage in Los Angeles — with both events drawing headlines because of the couple’s high profiles.
