Golden Globes 2011: Ricky Gervais gets mixed reaction

"Gervais, 49, who was presenting the show for the second year running, caused some controversy with typically biting humour that targeted some of the biggest stars in Hollywood.
He opened proceedings with a sip from a beer glass and said: 'It's going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking. Or, as Charlie Sheen calls it, breakfast.'
Linking a dig at the characterisation of thriller The Tourist with the growth of 3-D film, he said: 'Seems like everything this year was three-dimensional. Except the characters in The Tourist.
'I'd like to quash the rumours that the only reason The Tourist was nominated was so that the Hollywood Foreign Press can hang out with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. That is rubbish, that is not the only reason. They also accepted bribes.'
The comic also took a jibe at an the sexualities of unnamed Scientologists. He said: 'Also not nominated, I Love You Phillip Morris. Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay, so the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists then.'"
