The Globes were hosted by British comedian Ricky Gervais and his lines and jokes were met with a mixture of laugher and uncomfortable silence. Here’s just a sample of his remarks. 
In talking about the controversy that the Hollywood Foreign Press can be bribed, Gervais said, “They weren’t bribed. They were taken to a Cher concert. How the hell is that a bribe?” he asked. “Do you want to go and see Cher? No. Why not? Because it’s not 1975.”
Then he noted that Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor were not nominated for the movie “I Love You, Phillip Morris”. He said, “They were only pretending to be gay unlike two famous Scientologists.”(Apparently alluding to the long-rumored sexual orientation of Tom Cruise and John Travolta).
While introducing Robert Downey Jr. Gervais said, “He’s best known from facilities like The Betty Ford Clinic and the Los Angeles County Jail”. 
When he came on stage Downey quipped, “Aside from the hugely mean-spirited and mildly sinister undertones, I’d say the vibe of the show is pretty good don’t you think?”
