Stars Including Colin Farrell, Michelle Pfeiffer, Get COVID After Golden Globes

Jean Smart was among a number of stars unable to attend Sunday night’s Critics Choice Awards since testing positive for COVID after the Golden Globes. The Hacks star won her second Critics Choice Award for her role in the popular series but was not able to accept the award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series due to her diagnosis, a rep told Deadline. Hacks co-creator Jen Statsky also may have come down with COVID after reportedly sharing an Instagram Story claiming she was “riddled with the novel coronavirus.” Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson have also come down with the virus after the Globes and will not be appearing, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Banshees of Inisherin co-stars are nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, two of nine nominations for the film. Neither won an award. Also missing the Critics Choice will be Everything Everywhere All at Once star Jamie Lee Curtis, who tested positive for COVID a few days. Curtis lost out to Angela Bassett for Best Supporting Actress in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Michelle Pfeiffer, who was nominated for Best Actress In A Limited Series Or Movie Made For Television in The First Lady, was also unable to attend due to COVID, posting an Instagram story alongside a test. “Yep. COVID,” she wrote. Deadline previously reported that the Critics Choice was the first major awards event of 2023 to require a Covid test.
