WHAT HAPPENED
On the eve of the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards, LA Today took over the iconic Warwick in Hollywood for a night that screamed "awards season." The energy was palpable as soon as guests stepped onto the red carpet, flanked by stunning flower towers courtesy of HCD Weddings.
Hosted and produced by us (LA Today), the night wasn't just about standing around—it was a full sensory experience. We had Getty Images snapping official photos while host James Nichols interviewed talent for LA Today, capturing the buzz of the evening with videographer Jerome Spurlin, while LA Today's editorial team was led by Josh Clinton, providing incredible shots in this article.
The venue was packed with familiar faces. We spotted NBA champion Metta World Peace, actress Amber Martinez, The Sandlot star Marty York, and the stunning Athenna Crosby (Miss World America). Social media sensations like The Professor, Scar the Cholo, Star Abelar, and Shoelada brought the viral energy, while actor Issac C. Singleton Jr. and artist Faith Barret mingled with the crowd. It was the perfect mix of Hollywood legacy and new media power.
BEST HIGHLIGHTS
1. A Feast for the Senses 🦞
Forget boring passed apps. Tailtations parked their catered food truck on-site and served up gourmet fried lobster tails that had everyone talking (and eating). For the sweet tooth, Joseph thee Baker created a show-stopping dessert table, including a custom Nikki Glaser cake and artisanal pastries that were almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
2. Live Performances that Stole the Show 🎤
The entertainment lineup was stacked. Micayla De Ette (America’s Got Talent finalist) brought the house down with a rendition of the Golden Globe-winning song "Golden." Then, Amber Sauer (Dancing with the Stars) delivered a chillingly good performance of "No Place Like Home" from Wicked. The vibe was kept high all night with live sets from DJCJ and DJ Coolwhip.
3. Red Carpet Ready ✨
Guests didn't just walk the carpet; they got the full treatment. Haute Minute Makeup provided a luxury touch-up activation, ensuring everyone looked flawless for the cameras. Plus, select VIP tables enjoyed luxurious drinks provided by 24k Tequila.
