Ricky Gervais is this year’s host. An exceptionally funny British comedian, his opening comments to the actors were spot on, especially when he riffed on Keifer Sutherland’s ad lib beatings or a little Asian girl seeing a picutre of Angelina Jolie and saying “momma”. But when Ricky turned the attention onto himself and told jokes about his penis, it sounded more like an HBO special than a family awards show. And contrasted with the elegant gowns, jewels and make-up, the adolescent jokes were out of place. However, Gervais is a pro and recovered with his sharp tongued banter.
