Ever since the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced that Ricky Gervais would be back to host the Golden Globes, everyone wanted to know who the host would rip in his opening monologue. Well, he started out making a joke about Sean Penn being in hiding, but then he played it rather safe. Well, at least he was nicer to the celebrities than he was to nominationless NBC and was brutally honest about the HFPA being BS.
All in all, it was a good start to the awards show, just not a great one.
BTW I liked his ending better, he closed the show by saying, “From myself and Mel Gibson, shalom!” Shalom!
