The 77th Annual Golden Globes in Los Angeles turned its spotlight on the devastating Australian bushfires as several celebrities, including Cate Blanchett, used their platform to raise awareness about the climate disaster unfolding in Australia. Despite host Ricky Gervais' warnings to remain apolitical, stars like Patricia Arquette and Ellen DeGeneres voiced their concerns, marking the event with a clear message on urgent global environmental challenges.

Cate Blanchett paid tribute to the volunteer firefighters battling the flames, calling them the "real heroes" of Australia's crisis. Other notable voices included Russell Crowe, who could not attend due to the fires and emphasized climate change as the driving force behind the tragedy, with his words echoed by Jennifer Aniston during the ceremony. Joaquin Phoenix and Renee Zellweger added their voices, urging action beyond thoughts and prayers, while Phoebe Waller-Bridge announced plans to support relief efforts by auctioning her designer outfit from the event.
