TV / Celeb / Film I'll Be Watching at Least One Awards Show This Year

Posted by on Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 11:37 AM

It's true! Ricky Gervais is hosting the Golden Globes for a second time. Last year's Golden Globes was the most watchable awards show to come out in the last decade. Let's hope Gervais beats Billy fucking Crystal's Undead Celebrity Blowjob Oscarcast to death with his giant ratings.

(Thanks to Slog tipper Smacko.)

UPDATE: Slog tipper Chason alerted me to this breaking news:

In a shocking announcement today, the Oscar committee decided to replace Billy Crystal as host with a Redbox Machine. “Don’t get me wrong, Billy’s a great host,” said a representative speaking under condition of anonymity, “but it occurred to us that he might do his stupid blues character, and no one wants to see that.”

This will be his third time hosting (even says so in the lead of the article you linked).

The only way I'm watching the Academy Awards is if they let Kathy Griffin host the show. Is that typecasting as "straight guy who's not interested in the Oscars," or against type as "straight guy who loves Kathy Griffin?"

Here's hoping Gervais is even more obnoxious than previously!
