Then at the Screen Actors Guild awards a succession of winners, including William H Macy and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, took turns to lay into Mr Trump.

Another Hollywood observer, Tim Gray, features awards editor of Variety, predicted an interesting night.

I dont think it will be three hours of Trump-bashing, he said.There are 24 awards recognising everyone such as visual effects people, I dont think they will use it as a political forum.

I do expect some vague homilies. But if there are three or four attacks, that will light up the internet.

La La Land, a wistful musical telling the story of an aspiring actress and a jobbing musician, is expected to scoop a raft of awards, having earned 14 nominations - an achievement matched only twice before.
