As you should -- when there is no object matching the parameters
you've passed, 'latest()' raises ObjectDoesNotExist (specifically in
this case, the subclass Event.DoesNotExist).
What you want is to wrap a try/except block around that, like so:
try:
coursestatus = Event.objects.filter(...your params...).latest()
except Event.DoesNotExist:
coursestatus = None
