Following this year's Golden Globes ceremony, an uptick in COVID-19 cases has been spreading among some of the night's attendees. First to report being infected was Jamie Lee Curtis, who received a nomination for best supporting actress for her role in "Everything Everywhere All At Once." The "Halloween" star took to Instagram on January 13, where she wrote, "F**k COVID! Sadly, this head cheerleader is not going to be at all the weekend festivities cheering on her friends and colleagues. Life on life's terms." Curtis also shared that, as a result of the positive test, she will not be able to attend either the BAFTA tea party or Critic Choice Awards, despite being nominated for the latter ceremony (via Us Weekly).
Not long after, "The Banshees of Inisherin" stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson were also said to have contracted COVID-19, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The event saw "Inisherin" as the night's big winner, with Farrell nabbing a win for best motion picture actor in a musical or comedy, Martin McDonagh getting a win for best screenplay, and the film itself winning best musical or comedy motion picture. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the COVID-19 diagnosis also means that neither actor will be appearing at the Critics Choice Awards. So what will happen at upcoming award shows? Likely not much.
