‘Edgy’
Traditionally the Golden Globes has been known as the edgier, boozy little brother of the more prestigious Academy Awards.
In 2011 Robert Downey Jr joked he did not “know if an actress can do her best work until I’ve slept with her”.
And Avengers star Jeremy Renner, 50, joked about Jennifer Lopez’s impressive ‘globes’ on stage in 2015.
Ratings drop
Last year, viewing figures for the Globes dropped from 18 million to just 6.9 million
The audience was the smallest for the ceremony since US TV giant NBC started broadcasting in 1996 — and little more than half as many as the BBC pulled in for last year’s Strictly final.
Ricky Gervais as host
In a savage mauling, the British comedian took aim at just about everyone there — calling out the hypocrisy of the rich and famous as well as branding the HFPA “very, very racist” and mocking their friendship with convicted dead paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The faces of the A-listers in the room told it all, with Piers Morgan branding the brutal take-down “a glorious kick in the globes to Hollywood’s woke, virtue-signaling hypocrites”.

Tom Cruise returned his Golden Globes
Cruise has reportedly returned his three Golden Globe trophies to the HFPA, which has been slammed for a lack of diversity as well as for ethical failings.
The 58-year-old actor won Globes for Best Actor for Jerry Maguire, Best Actor for Born on the Fourth of July, and Best Supporting Actor for Magnolia.
Those performances also garnered Oscar nominations for the Mission Impossible star.
The HFPA is a non-profit organization filled with journalists and photographers who report on the entertainment industry.
