Ricky Gervais lets rip with a beer in hand at Golden Globes

That was a joke about me shoving Golden Globes up my ass. And the Golden Globe goes to… Alejandro G Inarritu for The Revenant.

Collecting his trophy, he said: “I’m going to try not to get emotional because I’m the sum total of everyone I’ve ever met and I’m lucky I’ve absorbed some of it. The last time I was here was 1977, it was a long time ago and the view is so attractive now”.

It has trumped the hit TV series Game of Thrones and Lee Daniels’ Empire.

From there, he poked fun at NBC: “It’s right that NBC host this awards show, because they are the only network who were truly fair and impartial and that’s because they’re the only network with zero nominations”.

It was for her role as the countess in American Horror Story. Once she starts her speech, Gaga says she feels like she’s in “Moonstruck”, thanking Ryan Murphy for believing in her, and also thanks the cast and her team.

“The Martian” rocketed to best film comedy at the 73rd annual Golden Globes, where even its director, Ridley Scott, wondered whether his science fiction epic about a stranded astronaut quite belonged in the category.

The Hateful Eight, directed by Quentin Tarantino, has picked up the Golden Globe for original score in a motion picture.

The glittering gala in Beverly Hills is seen as a good indicator of the films and actors that will vie for Oscars glory on February 28 – and is second only to the Academy Awards in terms of Tinseltown buzz.

In a closely-contested men’s field, DiCaprio prevailed over “The Danish Girl” star Eddie Redmayne and “Concussion” lead Will Smith, to win best actor for his role as a fur-trapper seeking retribution.

CONTROVERSIAL British comedian Ricky Gervais held no punches when he launched into his fourth stint as host of the Golden Globe Awards. There was also a moment of Hollywood insider humor when Gervais made a joke about studios paying for their projects to win Golden Globes.

Gervais wasn’t the only one who got bleeped at the 2016 Golden Globes. Best comedy series was a similar upset, with Amazon’s “Mozart in the Jungle”, winning over the HBO heavyweight “Veep”.

Jennifer Lawrence won best comedy movie actress for her portrayal of the Miracle Mop inventor in “Joy”, while Brie Larson, 26, beat veteran Cate Blanchett to take home her first major award for playing a young woman who is abducted and locked up for years in the movie drama “Room”. Vikander was also nominated in the supporting actress category for “Ex Machina”, but lost out to Kate Winslet who won for “Steve Jobs”.

She was up against some stiff competition in Dame Helen Mirren in Trumbo and Jane Fonda in Youth. Gervais’ hosting style in the past has pushed boundaries and offended Hollywood players.
