AN ANGEL WATCHES OVER THE GLOBES

If the Golden Globe Awards had an Angel, it might as well be the Beverly Hilton’s setup manager Angel Rodriguez. This year’s ceremony will be Angel’s 18th Golden Globe Awards. It is his responsibility to make sure that 110 tables are perfectly setup, and 1300 guests are comfortably seated. Throughout the years, Angel has held a perfect record. One year, however, Angel truly saved the ballroom. “Shortly before the show, we all of sudden realized that due to some miscommunication, over a hundred chairs had been removed during the last camera rehearsals,” he recalls. “We had to scramble to get them all back at the tables, and the last chair was literally placed the moment the Golden Globes went live!” Angelina, Brad, Johnny and Halle, rest assured. Angel will be there this Sunday and so will your chairs.
