Ricky Gervais will not host the Golden Globes again after going out with a bang during his second time doing the Hollywood Foreign Press shindig (the opening monologue of which you can see here)
The star of The Office warned before the show that people would get offended and duly backed up his premonition with humdingers like "It was a big year for 3D movies. Toy Story, Despicable Me, Tron," he said. "It seemed like everything this year was three-dimensional. Except the characters in The Tourist. I already feel bad about that joke. I tell you what, I'm jumping on the bandwagon, because I haven't even seen The Tourist. Who has? But it must be good because it's nominated, so shut up, OK? And I'd like to crush this ridiculous rumour that the only reason The Tourist was nominated was so that the foreign press of could hang out with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. That was not the only reason; they also accepted bribes" He also introduced a pissed-off Bruce Willis as "Aston Kutcher's Dad, and then went missing for what seemed like an hour, causing twitter speculation that he'd been fired mid-show.
The best gag was on an earlier one, though, when he really shook the cage after referencing I Love You Phillip Morris: "Two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay - which is the exact opposite of some famous Scientologists." That one got boos from the crowd, the muppets. Give him the Oscar gig next year and watch him really unleash.
