Joe Rogan took aim at the Golden Globes after revealing he declined to pay a fee to be nominated for the awards show’s inaugural podcast category.

Speaking on his podcast, Rogan said organizers had asked him to formally submit his show for consideration, but that he had refused to pay the $500 application fee required to be nominated.

"A lot of people say, ‘Why wasn’t Joe Rogan nominated for the Golden Globes? Why did Amy Poehler win?’ I didn’t submit," Rogan said.

"They asked me to submit to be nominated for the Golden Globes and you had to pay $500. And the $500 is like for paperwork or whatever. I said, ‘No,’" he added.

"The Joe Rogan Experience" has remained one of the most listened-to podcasts in the world and was eligible for the category. The show has ranked No. 1 on Spotify for several years and has also topped Apple Podcasts and YouTube rankings.

Rogan argued that audience reach matters more than industry awards, saying, "You can’t tell me I didn’t win. I’ve been No. 1 for six years in a row."
