The 2026 Golden Globes is fire… literally.
Shortly after the awards show—hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., Jan. 11—kicked off, a commotion occurred backstage when a fire broke out in the hotel.
“Crisis averted inside #GoldenGlobes backstage press room as catering knocked over a coffee holder and the sterno underneath was lit,” Chris Gardner, a reporter for The Hollywood Reporter, wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “For a brief moment, the carpet was on fire and smoke wafted up around the curtains.”
Despite the harrowing moment, the fire was distinguished. As he put it, “They put it out quickly fortunately. Yikes!”
While the fire took place elsewhere in the Beverly Hilton, awards continued to be handed out in the ballroom. Indeed, instead of panic the audience was all laughter as Seth Rogen accepted the trophy for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for his role as Matt Remick in The Studio.
