Catering Catastrophe Almost Sends Golden Globes Up In Flames
HuffPost
“The carpet was on fire and smoke wafted up around the curtains,” a reporter who was backstage said.
And the award for starting and stopping a fire goes to …the caterers!
It seems a small blaze erupted backstage at the 2026 Golden Globes, according to a video published on X by the Hollywood Reporter’s Chris Gardner.
Gardner said the fire broke out in the backstage press room after “catering knocked over a coffee holder and the sterno underneath was lit. For a brief moment, the carpet was on fire and smoke wafted up around the curtains,” he wrote.
Catering staff can also be seen rushing around, trying to put out the fire and clean up.
“They put it out quickly fortunately. Yikes!” Gardner added.
