Despite a cold spell, no celebrities wore fur to the Annual Golden Globes ceremony!  After a bit of research, I uncovered some of the "pet" charities of this year's Nominees and Winners!  Winners in their category are in bold and highlighted in yellow.  If nobody in a category is known to support animal welfare causes, that category is not listed.  For the sake of brevity, we are listing only those celebrities that support animal causes.
