Golden Globes Super Spreader? Jamie Lee Curtis, “Banshees” Stars Test Positive Before Critics Choice Awards

Share

First the Golden Globes banned Critics Choice reporters from their show on Tuesday.

Now it seems like their event was a super spreader for COVID. At least three CCA nominees have tested positive and will miss tonight’s show on the CW Network.

JamIe Lee Curtis was felled and won’t be on hand for her nomination for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

Now come reports that Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson of “The Banshees of Inisherin” will be out, too. They all got infected at the Globes.

The COVID restrictions are much tighter for the CCAs tonight. Everyone setting foot in the Fairmont Century City hotel has to present a negative test and a vaccination card. Everyone has complied, I am told.

There will be plenty of stars on the show and on screen tonight. I’m told Chelsea Handler’s monologue is hilarious — and it won’t diss the hotel as Globes emcee Jerrod Carmichael did to the Beverly Hilton on Tuesday. He called the Hilton “the hotel that killed Whitney Houston.”
