Cooper Koch Shines at 2025 Golden Globes Despite 'Monsters' Going Home Empty-Handed

The actor celebrated his first Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of Erik Menendez, as Netflix's 'Monsters' renewed public interest in the infamous case.

Cooper Koch, nominated for Best Actor in a Limited Series, attended the Golden Globes in a classic Armani tuxedo, marking his first major acting nomination.
Although 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' received multiple nominations, including for Javier Bardem and the series itself, it did not win any awards.
The Netflix series has reignited public and legal interest in the Menendez brothers' case, with a resentencing hearing scheduled for later this month.
Koch has expressed support for the Menendez brothers, citing his belief in their claims of abuse and his hope for justice through the legal process.
The actor reflected on the transformative impact of the role, crediting it with changing his career and personal outlook, while considering future projects with meaningful stories.
