Oh, how the mighty have stumbled! Remember when the Golden Globes was all glitz and glam? Ah, those were the days. Fast-forward to the Golden Globes COVID outbreak, which still lingers like last season's perfume. As reported by BBC News, at least four Hollywood celebs, including our "Scarface" goddess Michelle Pfeiffer, were slapped with COVID-19 following the star-studded affair.
"I'm So Sorry to be Missing the Critics Choice Awards": Michelle Pfeiffer's Ill-Fated Night
"I'm so sorry to be missing the Critics Choice Awards today. Yep, Covid," Michelle Pfeiffer wrote on Instagram. The star was slated to honor Jeff Bridges with a Lifetime Achievement award but had to back out at the last second. Pfeiffer’s pinch hitter? None other than John Goodman. As reported by Deadline, critics were left yearning for the glamour Pfeiffer would've brought to the stage.
"You Have to Be So Careful in the Theater": The COVID Crisis in Hollywood's Award Season
After the Golden Globes super-spreader extravaganza, a COVID test became the most coveted accessory at the Critics Choice Awards. Jessica Chastain, ever the fashion-forward maven, donned a glitter face mask and tweeted, "Phew!" when she didn't catch the bug. Meanwhile, Jamie Lee Curtis took to Instagram to say, "Life on life's terms. F--K COVID!"
On the bright side, Curtis had some good news to revel in. Her film "Everything Everywhere All at Once" scooped up five awards, including Best Picture. You can't keep a good star down, can you?
Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson were also in the COVID-dodging list, with both missing the Critics Choice. Is it just me or does the Hollywood Walk of Fame need a COVID-19 star for the unwelcome spotlight it has shone on Tinseltown?
To cap it all off, Abbott Elementary, The White Lotus, and House of the Dragon took home big wins on TV while The Fabelmans and The Banshees of Inisherin dominated the film sphere. But Michelle, darling, your absence was the talk of the town, and you've left a void only you can fill.
