Here’s why celebs wore ‘Be Good’ pins at Golden Globes

The Golden Globes took place on Friday and eagle-eyed viewers noticed a handful of celebrities donning curious pins.

The pins read “Be Good” and “ICE OUT,” which are references to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations taking place across the country and the death of Renee Good. Celebrities Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, Natasha Lyonne, and Jean Smart all wore such pins, with Rufallo being more outspoken than the rest regarding his political opinions.

When asked about his pin, he launched into an anti-Trump tirade on the red carpet:

“This is for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered,” he said to USA Today.

“We’re in the middle of a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded. He’s telling the world that international law doesn’t matter to him. The only thing that matters to him is his own morality, but the guy is a convicted felon; a convicted rapist. He’s a pedophile. He’s the worst human being. If we’re relying on this guy’s morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we’re all in a lot of trouble,” he added.

“So this is for her. This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I’m one of them. I love this country. And what I’m seeing here happening is not America.”

“Listen, I want to be here and celebrate and I am here to celebrate and I’m proud to have a Golden Globe nomination, but also this is not normal anymore,” he explained, having been asked why he used the Golden Globes platform to convey his message. “And so I don’t know how I could be quiet.”

In a separate statement to Entertainment Tonight, Ruffalo likened federal agents enforcing immigration law to “stormtroopers running around terrorizing” people.

“Right now, the whole Senate, the whole Congress has been taken over by corporations. So who’s there fighting for us now? Nobody. But if somebody did– they’ve got us at each others’ throats. The billionaires got us at each others’ throats, right. We’re out there killing each other.”

Sykes also didn’t bother to mince words.

“We need to speak up and shut this rogue government down,” she told Variety. “It’s awful what they are doing to people.”
