The Golden Globes show is getting a major security upgrade from the Beverly Hills police department for its 75th anniversary show, set for Sunday, January 7 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Citing the number of event attacks this year – which have included the Ariana Grande concert bombing and Las Vegas mass shooting at a country music festival, to name two entertainment-related events – there will be additional staff and security at the Globes, even though there are currently no specific credible threats.
Metal detectors, explosives testing and canine patrols are likely part of the plan, and many roads around the event will be closed to non-event traffic, according to reports. The show airs live on NBC from 5-8 PM PT and is hosted by Seth Meyers.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has scheduled presenters Halle Berry, Carol Burnett, Kelly Clarkson, Darren Criss, Penélope Cruz, Gal Gadot, Greta Gerwig, Hugh Grant, Neil Patrick Harris, Chris Hemsworth, Christina Hendricks, Isabelle Huppert, Shirley MacLaine, Ricky Martin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Amy Poehler, Edgar Ramírez, Seth Rogen, J.K. Simmons, Sharon Stone, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Alicia Vikander, Kerry Washington and Emma Watson.
Golden Globe-nominee Oprah Winfrey will be the recipient of the 2018 Cecil B. DeMille Award. The show is produced by dick clark productions in association with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
A terrorist attack at the golden globe awards might go unnoticed.
Islam loves Hollywood. What a sham story.
What makes you think their security is armed? I’m sure they have non-violent weaponry at their disposal, such as placards written in Bold Comic Sans font, in keeping in accordance with their anti-gun stand.
Surely not muzzies, who they claim to support.
Don’t give a DAMN and will not be watching. I don’t think I have ever really watched Golden Globes TV Awards. Many years ago before the Academy Awards became PC and boring I watched it, but very little in the last 35 years.
So The Racist, Biased, Smug, Elitist, Jackass all knowing celebrities can keep their big night all to themselves.
the same liberals who call for gun confiscation will be protected by ARMED GUARDS..gee, why not carry avocados instead..I hear they can create quite the head wound if hit in the right spot
Well said SB! I love your posts!
Thanks so much!! Love your posts too..HAPPY and Healthy new year to you and your family!
(Well, virtual hugs. FR might have a sexual harassment thingy ROFL)
Good question!
Pity the poor cops who are called in to guard these characters as they preen and prance about ‘awarding’ each other...
Ironic, given the show hands out awards to bombs.
HAHA no worries :-) HUGS!!
Whenever my 2 1/2 year old nephew hugs his chick classmates(Yep he’s a chick magnet) I tell him to be careful they could end up hiring Gloria Allred
The only bombs at the Golden Globes will be films like Ghost in the Shell and Life.
After reading the presenters list, it looks like I will be busy another year on that night polishing my bulldog and giving him his pedicure.
Who watches this show? Steers and queers?
