Gervias is alright in small doeses. I think his best line of the night was
Who wants to see cher in a movie?...No one . it's not 1975...

I thought that was rather excellent.

Pretty much. The people who are in charge of hiring the Golden Globes host really should have done their homework. They clearly had no idea how Ricky Gervais normally conducts himself. I personally find him hilarious, and one of the things I love about him is his inability to behave himself.

Gervais was funny in Grand Theft Auto 4... that's it.


Seriously, the dude sucks, Just like any other british comedian.



Not being racist. Just honest. :)








Please love me.

They probably have a pretty good idea how he conducts himself as a host for did sort of thing since they he hosted the Golden Globes last year as well..

He did? I don't watch the Golden Globes so I didn't know. So did he manage to behave himself last year or did everyone's sense of humor dry up in that amount of time?

He wasnt as vicious last year and probably picked his targets a little more carefully, but still, compared to his stand-up I didnt think he was all that harsh.

A watered-down Gervais? That sucks!:mad:

They re-hired him because they had great viewing figures throughout last years show, and this years show did even better.

They knew exactly what they were getting, he did say beforehand he was going to push the boundaries further this time around and maybe some felt it went too far. I get that some people think he can be a smug and self congratulating because I think he is, but its so much better than having some sycophantic lickspittle verbally wanking off every performer nominated.

I think they have some nerve turning around and getting mad at him then. What did they think was going to happen?

It reminds me of the time Roseanne Barr was hired to sing The Star Spangled Banner at a baseball game, and how shocked they were when she was booed off the field.

Gervais was outstanding...:cool:
Hollywood must get sticks out of underfed egocentric asses.

Bought the soundtrack to Social Network and IMHO-the award was well deserved.
Haven't seen the movie so...have no idea if any other awards were merited for it and haven't really seen ANY of the movies that won, but want to catch a few that looked interesting on the previews they showed.

I thought in all: was a nice entertaining show...the half that I watched on rerun.
