Ricky Gervais To Host This Year’s Golden Globes Awards

Ricky Gervais will host this year’s Golden Globes awards. The British funnyman has been named compare for the Hollywood celebration of TV and film achievement, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, next January.

Of his appointment to host the awards, ‘The Invention of Lying’ star said he is looking forward to having “free reign” as a presenter.

“Not only is this the biggest Hollywood celebration of the industry which includes both film and TV, but also an environment where I feel I can get free reign as a host.

“I have resisted many other offers like this, but there are just some things you don't turn down.”

The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards will take place in the US on January 17, 2010.

Just when it feels like we finish - award season sneaks right back up again right?!

He's getting a lot of exposure here in the states, and that's a good thing. I love me some Office action.

DonnaJ, I'm with you..where did the year go? Of course I say that now EVERY year and every year is going by faster and faster :(

I love Ricky Gervais! Did anyone watch his series after The Office? It's called Extras. I recommend it if you're a fan. His stand-up is funny too but he is brutally mean...in a joking manner of course.

Can't stand the vampire face. I don't care how funny this dude is, that smile is creepy and disturbing.
