Ricky Gervais turned hosting the Golden Globes into a "spectator sport".
The 60-year-old comedian hosted the awards show five times over a decade and Gervais relished the opportunity to mock Hollywood's rich and famous.
He said: "I tried to make it a spectator sport when I did it and I did it five times over 10 years. I loved every one, I think I got better at it.

"My favourite one was the last one, mainly because the first time I did it 10 years ago, people are going: 'Why is he saying awful things to these lovely, these most important people in the world?' And the world changed, and by the fifth time they were going: 'Yeah, go on, give it to them, we're sick of them, we're sick of celebrities.'"
