At the Golden Globes<\/a> 2026, creatives behind the year\u2019s best non-English-language film, The Secret Agent<\/a>, said \u201cthis is a very important time\u201d to be making movies. Adolescence\u2019s Stephen Graham<\/strong><\/a> concluded his acceptance speech for best actor in a limited series by quoting Bob Marley\u2019s \u201cOne Love.\u201d These sorts of vaguely political platitudes were typical of the 83rd Golden Globes, although host Nikki Glaser<\/strong><\/a> kicked off the night by joking that these awards are \u201cwithout a doubt the most important thing happening in the world right now.\u201d<\/p>\n On the Golden Globes red carpet<\/a> 2026, nominees and presenters, including Wanda Sykes<\/strong> and Poker Face\u2019s Natasha Lyonne,<\/strong> wore \u201cBe Good\u201d pins\u2014a reference to Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed in her car by an ICE agent on Wednesday in Minneapolis, sparking nationwide protests<\/a>. The pins made an anti-ICE statement, as did those adorned by other attendees reading \u201cICE OUT.\u201d They originated with an ACLU-endorsed protest campaign organized by a group of entertainment industry advocates, as reported by The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course this is for the mother who was murdered by an ICE agent, and it\u2019s really sad,\u201d Sykes told Variety<\/a> on the red carpet ahead of the awards. \u201cI know people are out marching<\/a> and all today, and we need to speak up. We need to be out there and shut this rogue government down, because it\u2019s just awful what they\u2019re doing to people.\u201d<\/p>\n Task\u2019s Mark Ruffalo<\/strong> said he found it difficult to concentrate on that evening\u2019s champagne-soaked festivities amid the turbulent state of the world. \u201cWe\u2019ve got, literally, storm troopers running around terrorizing, and as much as I love all this, I don\u2019t know if I can pretend like this crazy stuff isn\u2019t happening,\u201d Ruffalo told Entertainment Tonight<\/a> from the carpet. \u201cWe have a president who says the laws of the world don\u2019t apply to him and we can rely on his morality, but he has no morality, so where does that leave us? Where does that leave the world?\u201d<\/p>\n The #BeGood campaign, supported by organizations such as Maremoto, Move On, National Domestic Workers Alliance, Working Families Power, and \u201cleaders from every sector of the entertainment industry,\u201d is also meant to honor Keith Porter, who was killed by an off-duty ICE agent<\/a> in Los Angeles on New Year\u2019s Eve. Porter and Good\u2019s deaths come in the aftermath of the Trump administration\u2019s $100 million \u201cwartime recruitment<\/a>\u201d meant to expand ICE enforcement abilities. The Be Good campaign\u2019s goal is to remind people \u201cto be good to one another in the face of such horror\u2014to be a good citizen, neighbor, friend, ally and human,\u201d according to the Times.<\/p>\n In the night\u2019s opening monologue, Glaser alluded to the Epstein files without actually uttering Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s name. \u201cSo many A-listers, and by A-listers I do mean people who were on a list that was heavily redacted,\u201d she quipped, before digging into the broadcast\u2019s network overlords. \u201cAnd the award for most editing goes to CBS News,\u201d Glaser said. \u201cAmerica\u2019s new place to see BS news.\u201d It was a reference to the controversy around the editorial oversight<\/a> of new CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hacks star Jean Smart<\/strong><\/a> carried an ambiguously political message with her throughout the evening. When asked by Entertainment Tonight about filming the final season of her hit Max series, she said that it was \u201ca little bit overshadowed with what\u2019s going on in our country.\u201d Smart, who in the aftermath of the LA fires urged<\/a> TV networks to \u201cseriously consider\u201d not airing any award shows and instead donating the revenue to first responders and fire victims, later elaborated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
