As the American film and television industry gathered to celebrate the Golden Globe awards, it was Australia's bushfire crisis that took centre stage.

| Jennifer Aniston spoke at the Golden Globes on behalf of Russell Crowe, who called to leaders to take action over climate change. |
At the awards ceremony on Monday morning, Australian actor Russell Crowe won best actor in a limited series or TV movie for The Loudest Voice. But instead of being present to collect his award Crowe was at home protecting his property on NSW's Mid North Coast, and his absence resonated with the audience.
Fellow actor Jennifer Aniston read out an acceptance speech on Crowe's behalf, and it didn't mince words.
"Make no mistake: the tragedy unfolding in Australia is climate-change based," read Aniston. "We need to act based on science, move our global workforce to renewable energy and respect our planet for the unique and amazing place it is. That way, we all have a future."
