(28,394 posts)1. I turned it off. I watched the fashions and then lost interest.
I don't watch any of those TV shows and haven't seen any of the movies, so I didn't care who won.

whassisname, BBCA, Graham NORTON, and unfortunately all of our American "stars" look like fools next to Graham.
When whassisname Dennis HOPPER was there, he was a burnt out case. NO personality, nothing. Also, Robt DOWNEY Jr.

and he did a monologue: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/watch-ricky-gervais-is-as-wicked-as-ever-in-his-return-golden-globes-monologue/
Seriously, its amazing no ones come up with this kind of hosting earlier; literally saying into the mic what all of us at home (and probably most of the attending audience as well) are saying under our breath. All award shows are pretty much awful and the Globes, with its years of bribery scandals and Pia Zadoras, is particularly egregious. In 2012, I just dont think audiences have the patience to sit for three hours while a shadowy organization claims that Glee is one of the best shows on TV and then asks us to treat it with respect.
So, whatever you think of Ricky Gervais whether you think hes too mean or that Lifes Too Short isnt as good as Extras and The Office or whatever I think we can all agree that the man deserves our thanks. God bless him for treating this whole affair with the amount of respect it deserves.
