When the two-time Oscar winner, Hilary Swank, tried to get into the Beverly Hills Hilton for the Golden Globes, she was flatly denied by security. From Page Six of the New York Post:

The limo carrying the star and her boyfriend, CAA Agent John Campsi, tried to pull up in front of the Beverly Hilton to drop her off but was stopped by security. Spies say a guard admonished the driver for not having the right credentials and refused to let Swank pass. She tried leaning her head out the window to show who she was, and asked politely to be let through, but “the guards didn’t recognize her and refused,” we’re told. So Swank and Campsi got out and found another limo to pick them up. But before Swank got in, she turned to the security goon and “flipped him off.”

Now that is exactly why I am such a proponent of welding your hard-earned Oscar to the hood of your car as soon as you win it. To avoid such awkward moments like these.
