Ricky Gervais to host Golden Globes

Golden Globe organizers have hired British comedian Ricky Gervais to host the upcoming film and TV honours for the third time, even after his performance earlier this year offended many top celebrities.

“Yes, Ricky’s Back!” the Hollywood Foreign Press Association said in a posting on its website Wednesday.

“After weeks of rumors it’s finally official — Ricky Gervais will be back to host the Golden Globes for a third year.”

The Golden Globe Awards annually are among Hollywood’s top film and television honours, and they bring out A-list stars.

But last year, the acid-tongued British comedian ruffled the feathers of many in attendance with biting jokes about Robert Downey, Jr. and the critically-panned movie The Tourist.

The upcoming Golden Globe awards will take place on Jan. 15 in Beverly Hills, Calif.
