REPORT FROM THE SMOKING PATIO

The Associated Press

The patio outside the International Ballroom at the Golden Globes is as star-studded as the room inside.

When Globes celebrants need fresh air — or nicotine-tinged air — they head straight there.

"12 Years A Slave" co-stars Michael Fassbender and Sarah Paulson dropped by to share a smoke and a laugh with actress Emma Roberts.

Elisabeth Moss juggled a cigarette in one hand and her Golden Globe for best actress in a miniseries or movie in the other.

Kate Beckinsale shared a smoke with Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi, whose movie "The Past" was nominated in the foreign language category.
