GOLDEN GLOBES 2026

Full List of Winners and Protests Against ICE

The 2026 Golden Globes held its 83rd edition on January 11 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, marking a historic milestone not only for its awardees, but for becoming the scene of a powerful political protest. A-list celebrities took to the red carpet to demonstrate against the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, wearing pins with the messages "Be Good" and "ICE Out" in memory of Renee Good, a woman killed by an ICE agent days before the ceremony.

Symbolic Protests Dominate the Red Carpet

The red carpet of the 2026 Golden Globes ceased to be just a fashion showcase to become a platform for political activism. Multiple celebrities wore pins with anti-ICE slogans, introducing a strong social stance at an awards show that the previous year had avoided political pronouncements.

Renee Good Case: The Trigger for the Protest

On January 7, 2026, Renée Nicole Good, 37, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, was fatally shot by an ICE agent while in her car during an operation in Minneapolis. Good, described as a poet and community activist, had decided to stop her vehicle to observe and peacefully alert about the presence of agents, carrying only whistles to warn other neighbors. The case has sparked national outcry and an FBI investigation.

Celebrities Who Spoke Out

Among the figures who wore the protest pins were:

·       Mark Ruffalo: The "Hulk" actor declared that "this is for Renee Good and for the people in America who are terrified today." He harshly criticized Donald Trump, calling him "the worst human being in the world."

·       Wanda Sykes: She explained the meaning of pins in interviews on the red carpet.

·       Jean Smart: The winner of best comedy actress wore the pin during the gala.

·       Ariana Grande: She joined the silent protest during the event.

·       Natasha Lyonne: Visible with the message "ICE Out" upon arrival.

The Organization Behind the Campaign

The protest was organized by activists Nelini Stamp of Working Families Power and Jess Morales Rocketto of Maremoto, who compared the movement to historic moments such as Marlon Brando's rejection of the Oscar in 1973. "There's a long tradition of people creating art taking a stand for justice at key moments," Stamp said. Organizers promised to continue the campaign throughout the awards season.

'Operation Absolute Resolve': The military assault that redrew the geopolitical map in 48 hours

1. THE UNPRECEDENTED EVENT

In an operation that rewrites the manual of contemporary international law, U.S. special forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas during the early hours of January 3. "Operation Absolute Resolve" – carried out with 150 aircraft from twenty bases – represents the first forced extraction of a sitting head of state in Latin America by the United States since the invasion of Panama in 1989.

The key fact: The operational timing (22:46 to 03:29 Washington time) reveals meticulous planning that took advantage of Venezuelan weather windows and surveillance cycles.

2. ANATOMY OF A LIGHTNING OPERATION

Intelligence phase (previous months)

According to statements by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, the CIA and military intelligence agencies carried out:

• Exhaustive surveillance: Movement patterns, habits, security routines of President Maduro
• Architectural replica: Construction of a duplicate of the presidential residence for training
• Vulnerability Analysis: Venezuelan Air Defense Systems, Military Response Times

Execution (night of 2 to 3 January)

22:46: Donald Trump's presidential order from Mar-a-Lago
00:00-01:00: Coordinated takeoff of 150 aircraft (F-22, F-35, B-1, E-2, drones)

03:29: Maduro and Cilia Flores embarked on USS Iwo Jima

Critical points attacked simultaneously:

• Fort Tiuna (main military base)
• La Carlota Air Base
• Port of La Guaira
• El Volcán antenna station

3. THE OIL FACTOR: THE GEOPOLITICAL COUNTDOWN

Trump's statements on Venezuelan oil offer the fundamental interpretative key:

"We're going to make our big American oil companies [...] invest billions of dollars, repair the oil infrastructure [...] and start generating profits"

Economic contextualization:

• Reserves: 303.22 billion barrels (17% worldwide)
• Current production: <500,000 barrels/day (vs. 3 million in 1998)
• Investment required: Estimated $200-250 billion to recover capacity

Experts consulted point out that this operation coincides with:

1. Renegotiation of the U.S.-China oil agreement U.S.-Saudi Arabia
2. Inflationary pressures due to energy prices
3. Strategy for relocating critical chains outside the Middle East

4. UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

To. On international legality

• Which article of the OAS or UN Charter does the United States invoke?
• Was there authorization from the Security Council?

• Reaction of the FANB: Organized Resistance or Institutional Collapse?
• Interim government: Delcy Rodríguez affirms constitutional continuity from undisclosed location

C. The judicial process

• Southern Judicial District of New York: History in Transnational Drug Trafficking Cases

Convictions and reservations:

• Mexico: "It flagrantly violates sovereignty and international law"
• Argentina: Urgent call by CELAC and UNASUR
• CARICOM: Internal Division, 7 Countries Reject Unilateral Action

Global players:

• China: "Serious precedent of hegemonism"
• Russia: Urgent meeting of the Security Council
• European Union: Ambiguous communiqué, emphasizes "need for stability"

6. PROJECTED SCENARIOS

• Deployment of "stabilization" troops
• Fast start of oil contracts with ExxonMobil, Chevron

Scenario 2: Resistance and protracted conflict (35%)
