    another great part is

    the one thing in common with all the reviews (mostly negative btw)

    they had a problem with it being 85 minutes

    a film about a living tire that kills people

    and people aren't pissed at how stupid awesome it is, they're pissed at how long it is

    i find it weird that people think the mean jokes to gervais were serious. he obviously went after people he thought could take it, and they dished back because of that. plus most quotes from people not in the hfpa have been pretty positive (all kinds here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1348006/Golden-Globes-2011-Has-Ricky-Gervais-written-Hollywood-ending.html )

    also gervais has made it clear when not doing a bit that he 100% is happy for and even agrees with steve carell's decision to move on so it would be pretty ludicrous for carell to not be able to take a swipe about it

    The reactions to this are going to be interesting reads. Like I can't say I'd fault RDJ or Sheen for being a little upset, but at the same time this year's Golden Globes were the best they've been in years. Maybe the best awards shows have been in years.

    i honestly would be surprised if anyone he insulted who was there in person was genuinely upset (maybe angelina jolie), especially RDJ who jokes about having been in prison with some regularity

    I certainly hope he wasn't, but of course you never know, this article makes it seem like he was, but the whole thing reads like it's slightly biased in favour of inciting extra controversy (go figure).
    And speaking backstage after the show, [Robert Downey Junior] added: 'I think it's great to be funny, but it's just better if you can do it without hurting people.'

    Again, that's just from the one article I've read so far, which based on the title alone shows a pretty clear slant against Gervais, so I wouldn't be surprised either way, I guess.

    Especially jokes about him being gay, dude goes apeshit when people call him gay, probably because of his lifelong commitment and considerable financial investment to hiding his gayness.

    Here's one from the Canadian Press. Pretty supportive tone, unsurprisingly, given that Canadians will apologize if you step on their foot.

    Gervais' own blog is something I would like to trust.

    I enjoyed the Globes more this year. I think I had better gags. More along the lines of the Mel Gibson one last year.

    Obviously the rumour that the organizers stopped me going out on stage for an hour is rubbish. I did every link I was scheduled to do. The reason why the gaps were uneven is because when I got the rundown I was allowed to choose who I presented to. I obviously chose the spots that I had the best gags for. They couldn't move around the order but I could move around however I wanted.

    All the same conspiracy theories as last year too... "So and so was offended"... "hasn't been invited back yet"... exactly the same as last time. "Paul McCartney was furious"... no he wasn't. And nor was Tim Allen and Tom Hanks. I was drinking with them after.

    Why do people have to embellish? They're allowed to say they hated it. They're allowed to say they didn't find it funny, that it was tasteless, over the top, or whatever. But why do they speculate and make stuff up?

    Don't worry, I know the answer. Because it's more interesting than "it went fine and some people won some awards and then went to a party". But that's all that happened.

    Actually, I see what they mean. Boring. So here's what really happened. Bruce Willis and Sly Stallone started a fight with me but Alec Baldwin and Mark Walberg stepped in and helped me out. That's what happened.

    I found it interesting in the Canadian Press article how the ratings for the Golden Globes were the top rated NBC prime time entertainment telecast among young adults since last year's golden globes.

    That's a lot of caveats, it seems. How many such programs are there in a year? Still, 17 Million viewers doesn't seem so bad.

    I just watched the Steve Carell bit and that was hells of scripted

    Gervais didn't go over to greet any of the other presenters, he did it with Carell because they clearly had to stage this little bit

    Carell's doing that deadpan face he's so good at and Gervais does the really exaggerated shrug and throwing his hands up

    It was clearly their little joke, and I thought it was pretty funny too
