Actor Russel Crowe, who won a Golden Globe award for his performance in the movie "The Loudest Voice" did not attend yesterday's award ceremony, because he was in Australia at the time, where he's trying to protect his family residence from the devastating fires. His acceptance speech was instead delivered by actress Jennifer Aniston.

“Make no mistake the tragedy unfolding in Australia is climate-change based. 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,”

said Crowe.

Shortly after the award ceremony, the actor published a video on his Instagram account where he gave his thanks for the award and told people about the ways he's prepared to fight the fires. He also uploaded a photo in which he's seen with the New South Wales Rural Fire Service captain who's holding an envelope containing a check for 105 thousand US dollars.

The Australian actress Cate Blanchett also took the Golden Globes as an opportunity to thank the volunteer firefighters.

"I wanted to do a special call-out to the volunteer firefighters who have been at the centre of battling the climate disaster that is facing Australia. We’re in it together, so thank you very much,"

said the actress.

The most affected out of the suffering species in Australia are koalas, who can't quickly hide from the approaching fire due to their slow movement. According to reports from ecologists, around 8 thousand koalas have perished already.
