A handful of celebrities who attended the Golden Globe Awards last week now have a problem: They tested positive for the coronavirus and had to sit out other award shows.
Actor Jamie Lee Curtis reported that she contracted the virus in an Instagram post over the weekend, writing that she would miss the British Academy of Film and Television Arts’ Tea Party and the Critics Choice Awards, which both took place in Los Angeles over the weekend.
Others who attended the Globes, held at a Beverly Hills, Calif., hotel on Tuesday, also failed to show up at the Critics Choice event because of coronavirus infections. According to the Hollywood Reporter, which cited a spokesperson for Colin Farrell, both he and fellow “The Banshees of Inisherin” star Brendan Gleeson contracted the virus and could not attend. (They were nominated for best actor and best supporting actor, respectively, but did not win.)
