The Golden Globes—the goofy little brother of the Academy Awards—were held Sunday night in Los Angeles, doling out awards to members of the film and TV community in a televised orgy of celebrity backslapping mixed with occasional hilarious criticism from host Ricky Gervais (“the Globes are just like the Oscars, but without all that esteem. The Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton. A bit louder, a bit trashier, a bit drunker and more easily bought. Allegedly. Nothing’s been proved”).

Since when does the host steal the spotlight from the films and its stars? Perhaps the reason more people weren’t interested in the categories was because they already knew who would win? Christian Bale for Best Supporting Actor: say what? Natalie Portman for Best Actress: really?! The Social Network for Best Picture Drama: who saw that coming?

Sunday night, British actor and comedian Ricky Gervais hosted the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards for the second straight year. The host pulled no punches with his opening monologue and he kept the audience on their toes throughout the night with his sarcastic and straight for the jugular quips. No one was spared from his ridicule, not even the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press!
Here are some of the high (low) lights from Gervais’ big night…

As expected Natalie Portman took home the award for Best Actress in a Drama for her performance as Nina in Black Swan. She thanked her parents, her grandmother, and her fiance who also choreographed the performances in the film. It was a light, yet somewhat emotional speech that had her co-stars elated.
