A NUMBER OF celebrities who attended the Golden Globes last night wore pins saying “be good”, making a subtle political statement.

The badges are part of a tribute to Renee Good, the US woman whose fatal shooting by a federal agent has sparked renewed protests against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Video footage of the incident, widely shared on social media, showed federal agents surrounding a vehicle before at least two shots are fired through the windscreen as the car attempts to move away.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said an ICE officer opened fire after the driver supposedly “weaponised her vehicle” and attempted to run over officers, describing the incident as an act of “domestic terrorism”.

However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said he had viewed video of the incident and rejected the justification. Tim Walz also disputed the federal narrative, describing the killing as “preventable” and “unnecessary”, and warning the public not to believe “this propaganda machine”.

Mark Ruffalo, Natasha Lyonne and Wanda Sykes were among the celebrities donning “Be Good” pins at this year’s Golden Globes. Other stars tried to use their speeches to make political statements.

Brazilian thriller “The Secret Agent,” set during the country’s military dictatorship in the 1970s, won best non-English language film, and best actor for Wagner Moura.

Its director Kleber Mendonca Filho tried to make a political point, but was played off the stage by music.

“This is a very important moment in time and history to be making films – here in the US, in Brazil,” he began.

Jean Smart, who won best comedy series actress for Hacks, said in her speech: “Let’s do the right thing.” She was also was wearing a pin.
