LOS ANGELES – The 2020 Golden Globe Awards was certainly one for the books.
While viewers watched comedian Ricky Gervais rip into shortcomings of Hollywood’s elite during his opening monologue and throughout the night, Fox News was behind the scenes at the Golden Globes’ official viewing party and after-party put on by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at the esteemed Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, Calif.
Although the dinner menu being served to the stars at the Golden Globes was plant-based, at the HFPA official viewing party, the vegan-only options were thrown out the window and celebrities and those in attendance enjoyed barbeque pork sliders, beef sliders choice of a sushi bar, fried shrimp and fresh oysters. Partygoers were also treated to pizza and a number of ravioli options.

An elated Zellweger returned the gesture, adding, “This is all so crazy to me!”
