Entertainment Weekly also has a compilation of his "rudest" Golden Globe jokes:
  • "Welcome to a night of partying and heavy drinking.  Or as Charlie Sheen calls it: breakfast."
  • "I'd like to quash this ridiculous rumor going around that the only reason The Tourist was nominated so the HFPA could hang out with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. That is rubbish. That is not the only reason. They also accepted bribes.” (That line is what presumably prompted the HFPA president to shoot back, “Ricky, next time you want me to help you qualify your movies, go to another guy.”)
  • “Nothing for Sex and the City 2. I was sure the award for best special effects would go to the team that airbrushed that poster.”
  • Introducing Bruce Willis as “Ashton Kutcher’s dad.”
  • “Also not nominated, I Love You Phillip Morris, with Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey, two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay — the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists then.” Gervais added: “My lawyers helped me the wording of that joke.”

Gervais also introduced Robert Downey Jr. as someone better know for his stays "at the Betty Ford Clinic and the L.A. County Jail" than for his movie roles.  Downey retorted, "Aside from the fact that it's been hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones, I'd say the show's going pretty good so far, wouldn't you?"
