Jean Smart, Wanda Sykes and More Wear Tribute to Renee Good At Golden Globes
The pins were part of an ACLU-endorsed campaign after the fatal shooting of Good.
Jean Smart, Wanda Sykes, Mark Ruffalo and more wore “Be Good” pins to the 2026 Golden Globes in honor of Renée Good.
Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, was fatally shot on Jan. 7 by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Good was in her SUV, in protest of ICE actions, when Ross approached her and shot her through her car window.
The pins, which also included buttons that said “ICE Out,” is an ACLU-endorsed campaign that was organized by a group of entertainment industry professionals with support from Maremoto, Move On, National Domestic Workers Alliance and Working Families Power.
While many nominees did not overtly mention the shooting or the political moment (though Judd Apatow said “I believe we’re a dictatorship now”), Smart, who won her third Golden Globe for her role in Hacks Sunday, gestured at the moment.
“There’s just a lot that could be said tonight,” Smart said after accepting the award. “I said my rant on the red carpet, so I won’t do it here, but thank you. Let’s all do the right thing. I think everybody in their hearts knows what the right thing is to do, so let’s do the right thing.”
On the carpet, Smart told Variety she was not “optimistic’ about the world. But I just hope the people realize how important what’s going on is right now. Really, this is a moment of reckoning in this country. And I just hope that people do the right thing, and I think almost everybody knows in their hearts what’s the right thing,” she said.
