A major tragedy was averted at the Golden Globes, held at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, after smoke was seen backstage at the hotel. Thanks to swift action, the situation was brought under control in time, preventing any escalation or injuries.
A video that has gone viral on social media shows a behind-the-scenes moment in which smoke can be seen rising from a catering table. Several staff members, dressed in black, are seen attempting to control the situation.
“Crisis averted inside #GoldenGlobes backstage press room as catering knocked over a coffee holder and the sterno underneath was lit,” wrote Chris Gardner, an X user.
Comedian Nikki Glaser returned as host for a second year, earning praise for her sharp opening monologue. On the awards front, Netflix’s Adolescence dominated the television categories, winning four honours, including best TV limited series, anthology series or motion picture made for television. In film, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another emerged as another major winner, taking four awards from nine nominations, including best motion picture (musical or comedy).
Timothée Chalamet secured his first Golden Globe for Marty Supreme, in which he plays a fictionalised version of table tennis champion Marty Reisman, and thanked his partner and date for the evening, Kylie Jenner, during his acceptance speech. On the television side, Pluribus star Rhea Seehorn appeared visibly emotional as she accepted her first Globe, crediting showrunner Vince Gilligan for creating the role.
The Golden Globes bill themselves as Hollywood's booziest bash.
