One of the World's Largest Award Shows Bashed (By: Erika Ty)

After hosting the 68^th Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night, Ricky Gervais didn’t get the reviews he was hoping for. Many claimed he “crossed the line” but when asked about it he simply denied it.

The comedian predictably made fun of Hollywood’s famous actors and members of the HFPA, which added an insignificant awkwardness to the room.

During Ricky’s opening monologue, he cracked a joke about Charlie Sheen saying, “It’s going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking. Or as Charlie Sheen calls it, breakfast”.

He was simply being himself; witty, edgy and disrespectful.

Many celebrities that were bashed during the celebration called the HFPA and complained. Although the association did receive a lot of mixed reviews, they loved the show. The 2011 Golden Globe Awards had 17 million viewers worldwide; the biggest audience the show has ever had.

For Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Hugh Hefner, Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr., from the looks of those numbers, Ricky Gervais will probably be asked to host again – snarky comments and all.
