Tight security following the Paris terror attacks is in effect at Saturday night’s seventh annual Governors Awards, where Spike Lee, Gena Rowlands and Debbie Reynolds are to receive the first Oscars of Hollywood’s award season.
Los Angeles police say security for the star-studded ceremony at the Hollywood & Highland Center will likely be increased in the wake of the attacks, as it will at several other high-profile events around the city on Saturday night.
Police say there are no known threats against the city, but the department is beefing up patrols as a precaution.
“If it falls under our jurisdiction, in light of what happened yesterday, you would think you’d have extra patrols out there,” Los Angeles Police spokesman Mike Lopez says Saturday. “Event security details would be doing that as well … especially if you have celebrities going in that venue.”
