Overview
- Host Nikki Glaser ended the Los Angeles ceremony wearing a This Is Spinal Tap cap and saying “This one went to 11,” echoing Rob Reiner’s cult classic.
- Because the Globes do not include an In Memoriam segment, the gesture functioned as an informal remembrance of Reiner’s influence.
- Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Singer, were found dead on December 14 in Brentwood, and their son Nick Reiner has been arrested and charged as the criminal case proceeds.
- The season-long tributes continued at the Critics Choice Awards, where host Chelsea Handler praised Reiner’s kindness and civic engagement.
- The show blended reflection with headline moments, including Timothée Chalamet’s win for Marty Supreme and Wanda Sykes’ on-stage jab at Ricky Gervais while wearing a “be good” pin.
