Rex Murphy: The key to their magnificent action is that this year, the Golden Globes banquet that precedes the giving of the awards will be entirely — no exceptions — vegan. Let that settle in your mind awhile to
appreciate its full impact. There are other touches, but that Hollywood royalty are willing to break out the sesame seeds and tofu for one whole televised meal will undoubtedly shock the world into saving itself. What wonderful people these actors are.
Celebrities will decline the usual stretch limousines, bespoke Rolls Royces and Bentley chariots, in favour of making their way to the awards on pogo sticks, skateboards and pedicabs.
Can you feel the power of that example? The self-abnegation for the greater good? Outside Foxe’s Martyrology, or the early Christians walking into the roaring jaws of the lions in the Coliseum, there is nothing I can hoover out of mind to go with it.
