“Everything is political” is a common sentence we hear on a day-to-day basis, and the Golden Globes didn’t fail to verify that claim.
On Jan. 11, the 83rd annual Golden Globes was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. Hollywood’s favorite stars dazzled on the red carpet, immersed themselves in the “Glam Bot” experience, and used their formal outfits to make political points peacefully.
American comedian and actress, Nikki Glaser, hosted the award show and focused on the recognition of the most extraordinary films and TV shows of 2025. Glaser opened the night with a variety of jokes in her introductory monologue as she poked fun at various celebrities and political matters as well which involved a punch at the content of the Epstein Files or lack thereof.
“There are so many A-listers, and by A-listers, I do mean people who are on a list that has been heavily redacted,” Glaser said. “And the Golden Globe for best editing goes to the Justice Department.”
Glaser didn’t discuss ICE or the Venezuela matters in her 10 minute monlogue, but she did mock CBS for the deletion of a 60-minutes episode that was supposed to cover President Trump’s action in the transportation of immigrants to a prison in El Salvador.
“The award for most editing goes to CBS News,” Glaser said.
Though Glaser strayed away from comments about ICE, other actors and celebrities took matters into their own hands with the incorporation of anti-ICE pins on their formal outfits. These pins were a tribute to Minneapolis native, Renee Good, who got shot and killed by an ICE officer last week.
Black and white pins worn by celebrities read “BE GOOD” and “ICE OUT” to share their political disapproval of ICE initiatives. Celebrities such as Ariana Grande, Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Skyes, and Natasha Lyonne sported these pins.
The executive director of a Latino Advocacy group, Jess Morales Rocketto, came up with the idea for political activism throughout the Golden Globes ceremony. The executive director worked with other organizers to spread the word to high-profile celebrities who would possibly be interested in the advocacy for Renee Good.
