When the Golden Globes aired this past Sunday Ricky Gervais came out swinging.
As much as people in Hollywood love to put out hits, it would appear that many of them can't take a punch, a punchline that is.
Gervais held nothing back as he threw out his best shots starting with a dig at Charlie Sheen right off the hop about his excessive drinking and the whole fiasco with the porn star. I mean really, Sheen's behaviour pretty much screams to get ribbed.
He continued on with shots at Ashton Kutcher's dad aka Bruce Willis who looked like he wanted to throw Gervais off the Nakatomi Plaza, Hans Gruber style when he came up to plug his movie Red.
Yippie Ki-yay British Joker!
I personally thought Gervais was right on point and for an out of shape British man I thought he did a great job on taking on all the elephants in the room.
A lot of the crowd looked awkward and some really seemed to take the roast personally. I mean what were you expecting? I peronally am in Ricky's corner and don't think he did anything wrong.
Learn to take a joke Hollywood, even funny, former bad boy Robert Downey Jr seemed to have some thin skin at least in the defense of others. Next time he may have to wear his iron suit and be less sensitive.
All jokes aside there was some great triumphs that were even Fight Blog esque.
Christian Bale won for his best supporting role in The Fighter.
Robert Deniro was honored for his myriad of unforgettable roles....such as Jake Lamotta
And all good actors would get lost with out proper direction.
And the Golden Globe for best Director goes to......
David Fincher
Never take yourself too seriously!
You are not the elephant in the room!
