Australian communities battling wildfires were given several messages of support at the Golden Globes, with Ellen DeGeneres, Patricia Arquette and Australian-born Cate Blanchett among those sending best wishes.
The wildfires have so far scorched an area twice the size of the U.S. state of Maryland. They have killed at least two dozen people and destroyed about 2,000 homes.
Blanchett said she wanted to give a special call-out to the volunteer firefighters fighting the blazes. “When one country faces a climate disaster, we all face a climate disaster,” she said. Pierce Brosnan said everyone was behind Australia: “Stay strong. We're with you. God bless.” Crowe won the award for best actor in a limited series or TV movie for playing former Fox CEO Roger Ailes in the Showtime miniseries “The Loudest Voice,” but he wasn't in California to accept the trophy. He was helping protect his home from the wildfires, sending in a speech read by Jennifer Aniston.
