The Los Angeles Dodgers, known for their blue-collar ethos, find themselves in a unique position as they play amidst the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Being located near the Entertainment Capital of the World allows players like Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and others to explore opportunities and capitalize on their proximity to the film industry. Recently, both Freeman and Betts had the chance to attend the prestigious Golden Globe Awards, providing them with a taste of Hollywood’s allure.

Freeman and the Golden Globe Awards:Freddie Freeman and his wife Chelsea were among the attendees at the 81st Golden Globe Awards, held at the esteemed Beverly Hilton Hotel. The Dodgers’ social media team documented their presence at “Hollywood’s biggest party,” sharing a video where Freeman expressed his excitement about attending the event. He described it as an opportunity to recognize the film industry while enjoying a night out with his wife.

Betts’ Hollywood Debut:Mookie Betts also made his first appearance at the Golden Globe Awards. According to Beth Harris of the Associated Press, Betts expressed his enthusiasm, mentioning that it was their first time attending such an event after watching it on television for so long. Betts, who is a co-owner and producer under One Media/Marketing Group (OMG), saw attending the Golden Globes as a chance to gain insights and connections within Hollywood. He acknowledged the importance of immersing oneself in one’s surroundings to see what opportunities may arise.

Betts’ Outlook and Media Ventures:When asked about his black tuxedo, Betts deviated from the customary response of Hollywood stars and instead highlighted his outlook, stating, “I’m wearing confidence.” Beyond his presence at the Golden Globes, Betts has been involved in various media ventures. In January 2022, he signed a producing contract with Propagate, a company focused on developing, producing, and distributing diverse programming across multiple platforms. Betts used his media expertise during the 2023 postseason, working as an MLB correspondent after the Dodgers were eliminated.

Golden Globe Winners and Hollywood Connections:During the Golden Globe Awards, the Freemans and Betts witnessed “Oppenheimer” receive five awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Other notable winners included “Barbie,” “Succession,” and “The Bear,” which added to the allure of the star-studded event.
