He added a splash of Hollywood glamour to proceedings as the 22nd annual Critics Choice Awards got underway in Santa Monica on Sunday evening.

But John Travolta’s welcome presence at the Barker’s Hanger venue was once again undermined by his questionable weave as he posed for photos before making his way inside.
