"The main criticism levelled at the ceremony so far seems to be that it didn't adequately reflect the moment. It was all a bit 1920s Berlin, with a shimmering array of beautiful millionaires busy congratulating themselves, oblivious to the fear and exhaustion of the rest of the world. Little wonder, then, that the only real moment of the show to go viral was a red carpet interview with Mark Ruffalo."
"Ruffalo was far from the only attender who wore a Be Good badge to the ceremony Jean Smart, Ariana Grande, Wanda Sykes and Natasha Lyonne all did the same but he does seem to be one of the few figures who consistently speaks his mind on matters such as these. The activism and political views section of his Wikipedia page runs to 14 dense paragraphs of causes he has supported, on issues ranging from Iran to pollution to the preservation of Manhattan churches."
Awards ceremonies often appear tone-deaf amid concurrent global crises. The Golden Globes drew criticism for projecting a glamorous, self-congratulatory atmosphere while many face fear and exhaustion. The ceremony's most viral moment came from a red-carpet interview in which Mark Ruffalo said he was not feeling so great and referenced the murder of Renee Good. Ruffalo denounced Donald Trump with stark language and called attention to broader moral concerns. Several attendees wore 'Be Good' badges, and Ruffalo's long record of activism includes recent support for restoring medical care in Gaza. Outspokenness has attracted criticism in some outlets.
