But the truth is that the food is served before [most of the stars](http://time.com/5495566/idris-elba-daniel-craig-golden-globes/) even walk the red carpet, let alone sit down for a bite. [Melissa McCarthy](http://time.com/5428161/melissa-mccarthy-can-you-ever-forgive-me/), now an awards show veteran, wasn’t about to let some timing issues get in the way of dinner for her fellow stars, however. McCarthy, who was nominated during the evening for lead actress in [_Can You Ever Forgive Me?_](http://time.com/5391193/can-you-ever-forgive-me-true-story/), came prepared with 30 small ham and cheese sandwiches from Los Angeles deli staple Joan’s on Third. “I’ve been handing them out to everyone,” McCarthy [told _Variety_](https://variety.com/2019/film/news/golden-globes-melissa-mccarthy-is-secret-ham-sandwiches-1203100815/) about her sandwich situation. “Next year, I’m bringing hot dogs.” Turns out McCarthy was right to bring the snacks: winning actress [Olivia Colman](http://time.com/5495427/golden-globes-olivia-colman-the-favourite/) even gave McCarthy a shout-out during her prize acceptance speech. Despite coming through for her fellow actresses on the sustenance side, McCarthy ended up losing out on the Golden Globe to [Glenn Close](http://time.com/5495564/glenn-close-golden-globes/), who was nominated for her lead role in _The Wife_ and won in something of an upset in a category also populated by [Lady Gaga](http://time.com/5495110/lady-gaga-sandra-oh-100-people-golden-globes/), Nicole Kidman and Rosamund Pike. Maybe next year’s hot dogs will bring McCarthy luck. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5495762/melissa-mccarthy-golden-globes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5495762/melissa-mccarthy-golden-globes/"},"headline":"True Sandwich Hero of the 2019 Golden Globes Melissa McCarthy Should Bless Every Party","datePublished":"2019-01-07T17:34:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:56:44.731Z","description":"“Next year, I’m bringing hot dogs.”","url":"https://time.com/5495762/melissa-mccarthy-golden-globes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","awards"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4ce4ed1e710dd5b8/698942ca457a52457fd60430/melissa-mccarthy-golden-globes-2019.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4ce4ed1e710dd5b8/698942ca457a52457fd60430/melissa-mccarthy-golden-globes-2019.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"NBC's \"76th Annual Golden Globe Awards\" - Red Carpet Arrivals","caption":"NBC's \"76th Annual Golden Globe Awards\" - Red Carpet Arrivals","creditText":"Christopher Polk/NBC—NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5495762/melissa-mccarthy-golden-globes/","name":"True Sandwich Hero of the 2019 Golden Globes Melissa McCarthy Should Bless Every Party"}}]}] ```
