The Golden Globes were held on Sunday and the award show was filled with celebrities spending countless hours praising each other.

While the stars had to worry about hair and makeup, they didn’t have to worry about personal protection — because many of these gun control advocates were protected by armed security guards, snipers on the roof, armored cars, and bomb sniffing dogs walking up and down the red carpet.

Several celebrities who were nominees and presenters at the award show signed a letterthanking President Obama for his Executive Action on gun control.

Amy Schumer, Quentin Tarantino, and Matt Damon believe the average American shouldn’t be armed, but when it comes to their own personal security — no expense should be spared.
