After a three-year run as Golden Globes host, Ricky Gervais finally passed the torch to two of the loveliest, funniest ladies in the world, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. We previewed their hosting duties yesterday in the Open Post, and they totally killed it last night – I laughed whenever they were on stage! Here’s their open monologue:
I think the Kathryn Bigelow/James Cameron got the most laughter/groans, but the whole thing was just hilarious. Love the Ben Affleck “You’re not betta than me” Boston joke. Love the “None of us has PLANS to do p0rn” joke. Also: “Quentin Tarantino is here tonight, he stars in all of my sexual nightmares.”
I think the best part of Amy and Tina’s hosting duties was that they weren’t omnipresent – about an hour into the show, I was like “Damn, where are they? I want them to come back and do a bit!” They made you miss them when they weren’t on stage. But I did love the little one-off jokes they sprinkled throughout the show, like after Bill Clinton introduced the clip from Lincoln, and Amy came out and said “OMG, that was Hillary Clinton’s husband!!!” And I loved when Amy and Tina were out in the audience for Best Actress in a Comedy Series – Tina and Jennifer Lopez clutching hands while Amy sat on George Clooney’s lap with a nice cocktail. What’s it going to take for Amy and Clooney to work together, amirite?
Basically, Amy and Tina ROCKED. I hope they get invited back next year to host! Or even better, I hope they get invited to host the Oscars next year!

The Taylor Swift joke was my fav of the night. WHY didn’t the director cut to her WHY?

Swifty’s BITCH FACE when she lost to Adele! I saw it on the highlights and didn’t know she had it in her!
They probably didn’t want to damage the camera lens.

I didn’t get to see it, please, please, please tell me the joke..

I caught that, too. She was probably also still stinging from the Michael J. Fox’s son joke. Still, girlfriend could use lessons in being gracious.

Oh and the joke was for her to stay away from MJF’s teenage son (who was Mr. Golden Globe or something and onstage most of the time) and take some “me” time.
I actually missed the first part of the joke and thought they might have been talking about Demi! That would have worked too!

That’s WHY they should have cut to her it would have been tv gold they really missed a trick there
Marie you should try to catch it somewhere along with adele’s win

@marie, at one point Tina and Amy made a joke about Swifty hitting on Mr. Golden Globe, and Tina managed to jam in there a quick pointer that perhaps Swifty should stay single for a while. It was a blink and you miss it moment… AWESOME!

@ Marie:
She also told her to stay away from Michael J. Fox’s son (who was at the ceremony).

I assumed she was pissed she didn’t win and left.

Agreed there were a couple more times after she lost to Adele that she was ragged on and they didn’t cut to her. She probably did leave.

She gave a standing ovation to Adele. Disappointed maybe but not ungracious apparently.

@marie They’ve put it up on youtube.
Basically they mocked her dating life once again (as others have said before me I see now)

I read about this in another post, that they ONLY cut to you if you’re smiling :- ) In this case, I imagine that she wasn’t….LOL

They were great…although I always loved Ricky Gervais. Tina and Amy made it look so easy, however, I think it takes a lot of preparation to make it look so carefree. I absolutely laughed out loud with the best actress nominations for best comedy actress.

Ricky was always a bit too mean-spirited for my taste. Amy and Tina got some zingers in but nothing felt vicious or petty. Just super funny. Loved them!

I think it’s the improv. Their monologues and jokes were great, but award shows should pick more people like them that can roll with the punches. Loved!

I love Gervais shows. Extras was just sublime! But these ladies KILLED it. The Oscar People must be kicking themselves. Remember when Eddie Murphy pulled out and they needed a new host? The inter-webs were screaming for a Faye-Poehler pairing. Or even Faye-Carrell. But noooooo…..the Oscar nitwits went and got that old school racist whose name I barely remember (although I’m sure my grandma can remind me).
Then they’ve brought in MacFarlane because apparently frat-boys and teen boys are the key Oscar demographic. Fools!
FYI I do watch MacFarlanes shows but its kind of obvious that a good deal of that humor isnt intended for a minority 20-something female.

Even if all they had done was come on and delivered the Taylor Swift and James Cameron jokes, they would still have nailed it. They were completely brilliant.

I watched it and thought they did a great job. Clooney was great I bet they had to toss a coin who got to sit on his lap. I also like how he was introduced as better looking then a young George Clooney it’s middle aged George Clooney. Very funny. Hope they do it again. Borat I could live without he was classless as usual. I think George and Amy would make a great couple he seemed happier with her then he did with Stacy. BTW someone needs to show her how to wash her hair.

i thought I heard them call him middle aged but sometimes I just hear things- you know

Yes! That joke was awesome too.

From the clips I’ve seen these two rocked. They’re those rare, naturally funny type of people.
I feel so much better after watching that video, it really brightened my day!
I feel the need to point out DDL’s crazy-high-five-face at 0:13 on the clip, though

The Cameron and Swift jokes were hilarious, but the Franco one was my favorite. Cameron actually has an OK sense of humor and would probably laugh the joke off. Franco? I’m expecting a blog post, short film, and interpretive dance about his feelings on it soon. Ugh.

+ 2! They were funny, but I missed Gervais and his mean-spirited jokes. Fey and Poehler were also missing for so much of the night. I’d rather have them on stage than the not-so-funny Borat, Megan Fox/Jonah Hill, Bateman/Ansari, Lopez/Statham etc. Hell, even RDJ sucked!

Loved it. They didn’t take over the show but had the funniest moments. They weren’t cruel, but they made some funny jokes at people’s expense. It reminded me of back in the late 80s and early 90s when I was a kid and liked award shows.

Compared to a dud like Franco, what a difference having intelligent, witty hosts who can deliver a written joke but also banter with ease. I loved it, hope they do more.

Taylor Swift can’t sing without Autotune. She’s not winning much from here on out. Joaquin looked twitchy, and HUGH DANCY was sitting behind Mandy Patinkin I mean, hello. Where was Johnny Lee Miller! They showed Lucy Liu. Also, Mel Gibson, lmao.

It was awesome! I don’t usually watch the whole show but I did last night it was just so good. My only complaint was after a while it seemed the presenters were trying to ‘out funny’ each other and it kind of dragged things a bit.
Best presenters were Kristin Wiig and Will Ferrell haha ‘you get out oh here! ‘

Amy and Tina didn’t get enough air time! They were so funny. My fave joke was Amy’s about the “Beautiful people in movies rubbing elbows with the rat faced people of tv”.
Tina looked really pretty-I think it’s the best she’s every looked. They should host every year.

They were awesome – it’s about time some women got to host.
I have never seen either of them look as great as last night. The dresses, hair and make-up were flawless.
My only criticism……I’m not feeling those slacks with the tux jacket on Amy. Not super flattering. But everything else – perfecto!

They also made a very subtle joke about lindsy lohan( without saying her name)
6. Hathaway’s future is very bright. Except for the fact that she doesn’t like having cameras in her face, which limits her future as a porn star. “I don’t think she has any plans to do porn, Amy,” Fey said on hearing Poehler’s joke. “Well, none of us have plans to do porn,” answered Poehler.
