LENDING A HELPING HAND
Navigating a crowded red carpet sometimes requires a lifeline.
After posing for photographers, Elisabeth Moss of “Mad Men” joined hands with two other women to make it through a crowd of people.
Similarly, actress Zosia Mamet of “Girls” required a steadying hand to guide her to a TV interview.
For actor Bruce Dern, his guiding hand came from daughter and actress Laura Dern. She held onto her father not only while walking the red carpet but also during a joint interview.

KELLY OSBOURNE’S RED CARPET RUN
Kelly Osbourne had to make a dash down the red carpet earlier than most – rushing past cameras as fast as her high heels could carry her.
Osbourne, who is providing fashion coverage on E! Entertainment Television, had begun a celebrity stroll down the carpet as she headed toward the position where the photographers are stationed.
But as other stars started arriving, and it got closer to the start of the pre-show events, she had to hoof it, paying more attention to her footing than the fans screaming her name.

LET THE SUNSHINE IN
Overcast skies parted to let the sun shine on the Golden Globe Awards red carpet moments before the stars started arriving for the telecast.
Although there wasn’t a threat of rain for the awards extravaganza, some of the red carpet got drenched when a lighting rig set off a fire sprinkler a few hours before show time.
A video posted on the Los Angeles Fox affiliate Instagram account showed the sprinkler dousing an area where crews later used vacuums to dry up.
