"Mr. Robot is golden," I wrote on January 10 while covering the annual Golden Globes Awards from inside the Beverly Hilton ballroom. "The USA Network drama, coming off critical acclaim for its freshman season, was one of the big winners Sunday night at the 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards. The show won for best drama, beating out a stellar list that included Game of Thrones (HBO), Narcos (Netflix), Outlander (Starz) and Empire (Fox)."

And below, a few more pics from the event.

Beverly Hills' Robinsons-May, Disappearing Forever

Robinsons May

I've spent the last two weeks driving every day to the Beverly Hilton hotel, site of the Television Critics Association press tour, watching the sad demolition of the once proud Robinsons-May department store building. Until recently, even the sign remained, even though the Robinsons-May brand disappeared in 2006. Although many Robinsons-May stores were converted to Macy's, this location -- originally a Robinson's, before J.W. Robinson's and the May Company merged in 1993, shut down entirely.

According to Curbed L.A., the site has not been sold, but the owners decided to tear the building down anyway.
