Just hours before the parade of celebs arrived at the awards show, a sewage pipe burst and sprayed water out, ruining more than a fifth of the red carpet.

&ldquo;A pipe has appeared to totally bust and there is water gushing literally everywhere in the position of where all of the international press - everyone has moved out of the way,&rdquo; E! News correspondent Catt Sadler said. And red carpet host Ryan Seacrest tweeted: &ldquo;Could be bad for long gowns #eredcarpet,&rdquo; along with a snap of the soaked carpet.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, lights set off an alarm system at about noon that sprayed dirty water on cameras and the carpet. Photos show pieces of the fabric discoloured and even peeling up in areas. Later, Beverly Hills firemen arrived to clean up the mess.

&ldquo;We can confirm that there was a malfunction with a sprinkler near the red carpet,&rdquo; a media representative for the Beverly Hilton said in a statement. &ldquo;The situation was quickly resolved. As some of the biggest names in entertainment are scheduled to attend Golden Globe Awards tonight, we wanted to give the carpet one last wash before it opened.&rdquo;

This wasn&rsquo;t the first time such a spewing has taken place. Just before the Academy Awards last year, a pipe burst in the Dolby Theater. Water flooded the lobby just as all the nominees and industry elite were entering.
