Less than 72 hours earlier, Hollywood’s highest-wattage stars had gathered to walk the red carpet at the Golden Globes, the first major event of the lavish and, for many, triumphant awards season.

The awards season revelry also quickly faded, with premieres of contenders like Better Man and The Last Showgirl canceled, nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards announced via press release rather than at a live event, and weekend events like the AFI Awards were scrubbed preventively.
