Kevin Costner was simply happy to be attending the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday.
Costner, who won a Golden Globe last year for his role as John Dutton in Yellowstone, was forced to miss the 2023 awards ceremony due to flooding caused by heavy rains near his home in Santa Barbara.
“Excited to be presenting at the @GoldenGlobes tonight! Especially after being home during last year's devastating storm,” Costner shared with his Instagram followers.

He added, “I'm grateful to be here. Thank you to the Hollywood foreign press for inviting me!”
Costner looked sharp as he posed in front of a piano in a black three-piece suit with a vest and matching bow tie. About five months after his divorce from ex-wife Christine Baumgartner was finalized, he walked alone on the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton.

Last year, Kevin and Christine were forced to skip a show at the last minute due to extreme weather near their home in north Los Angeles.
“Yesterday, we had to remove Santa Barbara's children from school,” he said in a video apology posted online. “This is the second time in five years that the highway has flooded and we found ourselves on the other side of town and couldn't get back last night.”

“No one is sadder than us that we won't be able to attend the Golden Globes,” Costner added. “Chris wore her beautiful dress and she was looking forward to walking the red carpet with her.”

Costner was another big winner that night, sharing an unboxing video of him receiving his trophy in the mail a few weeks after the ceremony. “When you first come to Hollywood, you just want to get your first job, and you look at these things and wonder if you're even meant to walk into a room like that,” Costner said. “It feels really good to have this. There's no substitute for being there.”
He added: “But my wife made it for us and lots of balloons overnight so now we have it. I want to thank everyone who has supported me and enough for what I've done this year.” I am doing this for the sake of the foreign press in Hollywood who thought of this.” “I'm so glad I found movies in my life. It made a big difference. I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't done movies. Thank you everyone.”

A few months after winning the Golden Globe, Baumgartner filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The former couple had been married for 18 years.

Costner spoke exclusively to Fox News Digital after a judge ruled in the actor's favor following a four-month legal battle over child support payments. “And it's this big, crazy thing called life, and how it can fall apart so quickly. For a moment you feel like you're on top of the world, and then you feel like you're on top of the world.” We realize how vulnerable we are.”
Costner was confident the former couple would understand. “She's a wonderful mother,” he added. “We understand it and we share it. We're just in the recovery phase right now.”
