SELFIE FIRST, RED CARPET NEXT

Jack Black looked like a man on a mission as he stepped out of a sport utility vehicle and headed straight to the bleachers – not the red carpet – so he could begin his Golden Globes night posing for selfies with fans.

After stopping for one group and then another, the actor eventually made his way to the carpet.

Black was the first star to get close to fans during Sunday’s Golden Globes but not the only early arrival to show them the love. Renee Russo blew a kiss to the crowd as she walked by.
