The Golden Globe Awards are traditionally a night of Hollywood glamour, but the 83rd ceremony at the Beverly Hilton on 11 January 2026 quickly turned into a platform for protest. Instead of just celebrating film and television, the event saw a wave of political symbolism as celebrities used the red carpet to send a message about US immigration policy.
Pins reading 'ICE OUT' and 'BE GOOD' appeared on gowns and tuxedos, signalling a silent protest against controversial operations by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Veteran actor Mark Ruffalo, one of the night's most outspoken attendees, went a step further by publicly explaining the personal story behind his pin.
