All we’ve heard out of Ricky Gervais for the past 11 months is how awesome and EDGY he was as host of last year’s Golden Globes, but that he’d never do it again. The Golden Globes people banned him forever ! All his Hollywood bridges were burned ! It was a one-time occurrence, no going back, like the creation of the universe, or the opening of a tin of Pringles !
So, naturally ...... Ricky Gervais is to host next year's Golden Globes - and has promised to turn up the shock factor even more.
Gervais posted a YouTube clip on his Twitter page of his biting opening monologue from the 2011 show, promising "This (times) 10".
The HFPA [Hollywood Foreign Press Association] acknowledged on its website that "not everyone is happy with the decision" to bring Gervais back because "his blunt one-liners targeting big-name celebrities caused anger and resentment in some quarters".
The 69th annual Golden Globe Awards will be held January 15 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
Good on yer Ricky
