  • 0:03 - 0:09
    Live from the star filled international ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel
  • 0:09 - 0:17
    Welcome to the 68th annual Golden Globe awards
  • 0:17 - 0:30
    and now, your host for the evening, ladies and gentlemen, Ricky Gervais
  • 0:35 - 0:37
    thankyou
  • 0:37 - 0:47
    Hello and, hello! Welcome to the 68th Golden Globe awards live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles
  • 0:47 - 0:51
    It's gonna be a night of partying and heavy drinking
  • 0:52 - 0:56
    Or as Charlie Sheen calls it, breakfast
  • 0:56 - 0:59
    Wow, woo, so lets get this straight. What he did was:
  • 0:59 - 1:04
    He picked up a "porn star", paid her to have dinner with him
  • 1:04 - 1:10
    introduced her to his ex-wife, as you do!
  • 1:10 - 1:17
    Went to a hotel, got drunk, got naked, trashed the place, while she was locked in a cupboard, and er
  • 1:17 - 1:23
    that was a Monday! What, what did he do new years eve!?
  • 1:23 - 1:28
    Anyway welcome, the Golden Globes is a celebration of the best in TV and movies over the last year
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    voted for by the Hollywood foreign press association
  • 1:31 - 1:36
    it was a big year for 3D movies, Toy story, Despicable me, Tron
  • 1:36 - 1:43
    it seems like everything this year was three dimensional, except the characters in The Tourist
  • 1:43 - 1:49
    I feel bad about that joke! No, I'll tell you why, I'm jumping on the bandwagon,
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    because I haven't even seen The Tourist
  • 1:52 - 2:00
    who has? But, no, it must be good, because it's nominated, so shut up! OK?
  • 2:00 - 2:06
    And I'd like to quash this ridiculous rumour going around, that the only reason The Tourist was nominated,
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    was so the Holliwood foriegn press could hang out with Jonny Depp and Angelina Jolie
  • 2:10 - 2:18
    that is, that is rubbish, that is not the only reason, they also accepted bribes! Lets
  • 2:23 - 2:30
    no, all that happened, was some of them were taken to see Cher in concert.
  • 2:30 - 2:34
    How the hell is that a bribe!? Really? Do you wanna go and see Cher? No!
  • 2:34 - 2:40
    Why not? Cos it's not 1975!
  • 2:44 - 2:47
    There were alot of big films that didn't get nominated this year
  • 2:47 - 2:50
    Nothing for Sex in the City 2
  • 2:50 - 2:57
    No, I was sure the Golden Globe for special effects would go to the team that airbrushed that poster. What?
  • 2:59 - 3:00
    Great job
  • 3:00 - 3:07
    Girls we know how old you are, I saw one of you in an episode of Bananza!
  • 3:07 - 3:12
    (audio is cut, but appears to be the expletive: For &%#@'s sake)
  • 3:12 - 3:15
    Also not nominated, I love you Philip Morris
  • 3:15 - 3:21
    Jim Carey and Ewan McGreggor, 2 hetrosexual actors, pretending to be gay
  • 3:21 - 3:26
    So the complete opposite of some famous scientologist then! What? What?
  • 3:28 - 3:35
    Probably! My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke
  • 3:37 - 3:40
    They're not here. OK
  • 3:41 - 3:47
    There's been some great new TV drama this year, like Boardwalk empire, and The Walking Dead
  • 3:53 - 3:57
    Talking of The Walking Dead, congratulations to Hugh Heffner
  • 3:57 - 4:06
    Who err, who is getting married at the age of 84, to 24 year old beauty Crystal Harris
  • 4:06 - 4:10
    When she was asked why she was marrying him, she said cos he lied about his age
  • 4:10 - 4:15
    he told me he was 94, ohh come on!
  • 4:16 - 4:21
    Don't worry, hold out and just don't look at it when you touch it
  • 4:37 - 4:40
    I warned them!
  • 4:40 - 4:45
    One of the biggest events of TV this year was the finale of Lost, one of my favorites
  • 4:45 - 4:48
    and all the questions were answered, yeah
  • 4:48 - 4:51
    I have to say though, it was quite a complicated finale
  • 4:51 - 4:56
    I'm not sure I totally understood it all. But from what I can make out, I'm pretty sure
  • 4:56 - 5:00
    the fat one ate them all
  • 5:02 - 5:05
    Shall we get on with it?
  • 5:05 - 5:12
    Our first presenter is beautiful, talented, and Jewish, apparently!
  • 5:12 - 5:16
    Mel Gibson told me that he's obsessed!
  • 5:16 -
    Please welcome Scarlett Johansen
