Why celebs at the Golden Globes wore ‘Be Good’ pins on the red carpet

The red carpet at the Golden Globes 2026 featured a couple new accessories this year – “BE GOOD” pins.

Mark Ruffalo, for example, wore the “BE GOOD” pin when he arrived on the Golden Globes red carpet with his wife, Sunrise Coigney, while Jean Smart sported her pin when she accepted her award for Best Actress in a Television Series – Comedy.

On January 11, the biggest names in television and film came together to celebrate another year of artistic achievements, but others, like Ruffalo, Smart, Natasha Lyonne, and Wanda Sykes also used the awards ceremony’s red carpet as a platform to speak out against the Trump administration and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, following the recent deaths of Renee Macklin Good and Keith Porter, two US citizens who were killed by ICE officers.

Porter, a 43-year-old father of two, was shot by an off-duty ICE agent at a New Year’s Eve celebration in California, while Good, a poet and 37-year-old mother of three, was shot three times by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis on 7 January.

Golden Globes nominees, presenters, and attendees were given the option to wear these pins as part of the #BeGood campaign, backed by the ACLU.

“The #BeGood campaign aims to honour Renee Macklin Good and Keith Porter while also reminding us what it means to be good to one another in the face of such horror—to be a good citizen, neighbour, friend, ally and human,” a rep for the campaign wrote in a press statement.
