Here’s the most thankless job in Hollywood: being Miss (or Mr.) Golden Globe. Hollywood’s glitzy bacchanalia is a fun time for everyone except the young women forced to herd drunk people off the stage and to their marks. A group of former Miss Golden Globes — including Greer Grammer (2015), Gia Mantegna (2011), Mavis Spencer (2010), and Corinne Foxx (2016) — told The Hollywood Reporter what it’s really like to be the woman handing out the trophies and holding down the show. “[The job requires] basically corralling everyone on and off,†Mantegna, daughter of Criminal Minds star Joe Mantegna, explained. “One of the scariest moments for me was seeing how comfortable everyone was just lingering.â€Â Spencer, daughter of Alfre Woodard, recalled a harsh comment from presenter Colin Farrell about her height: “[He] just looked at me and said, ‘I’m not standing next to her. I’m not doing it.’ I was a bit taken aback. And he was like, ‘Darling, I really don’t mean that in a bad way — but you’re huge.’†Herding drunk people, schmoozing with higher-ups, and smiling through men’s snark? Being Miss Golden Globe sounds like being a college party’s designated driver. This Sunday’s chaperones — Scarlet, Sistine, and Sophia Stallone — are in for some hard labor.
