Leonardo DiCaprio allegedly found himself momentarily sidelined by security during the 2026 Golden Globe Awards. The brief interruption, which occurred while the ceremony was already underway, quickly became a topic of discussion among reporters inside the venue. According to accounts from the event, the moment had less to do with celebrity status and more to do with strict broadcast rules.
Security stopped Leonardo DiCaprio from returning to seat at Golden Globes — report
According to a report shared by the Daily Mail, a reporter from Vanity Fair who was present at the ceremony claimed that Leonardo DiCaprio was briefly prevented from returning to his seat while the show was in progress. The alleged reason wasn’t personal; it was procedural. Per the reporter, once the broadcast is on air, no one is permitted to walk through the audience.
“I saw security stop Leonardo DiCaprio from heading to his seat during Snoop Dogg’s bit,” the reporter shared. They added that the rule applies uniformly, regardless of the actor’s fame. Instead of being allowed to pass through, DiCaprio reportedly had to wait until a commercial break before returning to his place.
He wasn’t alone. The same account claims that Chase Sui Wonders and Selena Gomez were also paused by security and made to wait nearby. The reporter said the “star-studded group” remained off to the side until filming paused.
The moment came shortly after DiCaprio had already drawn attention during the ceremony. Earlier in the evening, host Nikki Glaser made a joke about him in her opening monologue. Glaser praised his career before delivering a quip about the actor achieving so much before his “girlfriend turned 30.” However, she later acknowledged the remark as “cheap” and apologized onstage.
The ceremony took place at the Beverly Hilton, and DiCaprio attended solo. His girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, was not present at the event.
