For 68 years, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been celebrating their favorites in film and television with the Golden Globe Awards.

Once again, the multifaceted and generally hilarious Ricky Gervais will be serving as host of tonight’s gala. While those in attendance will be filled with anticipation about whether or not they will take home the award in their chosen category, viewers at home will be anxiously waiting to see how far Gervais will push the comedic envelope with his monologue and numerous ad-libs throughout the night.

With 25 separate categories having to fit within tonight’s given time slot, something tells me that Gervais will be moving things along at a swift pace – all while sipping from his iconic glass a beer that always remains not-so-hidden beneath his podium.

Review

Gervais was scathingly blunt as usual - though over the course of the show his increasingly nervous demeanor suggested that he was either beginning to worry about all the bridges he was possibly burning, or he had received enough threats backstage to tone it down a bit. After all,  introducing Bruce Willis by calling him "Ashton Kutcher's dad" and cracking 'Famous gay Scientologist' jokes are a risky endeavor for any man in Hollywood hoping to keep breathing, am I right?

Of course Gervais wasn't the only one to get on the podium and say something that had viewers arching their brows. We may forever be analyzing whether or not Robert De Niro's Cecil B. Demille Award acceptance speech was a bitter rant or a De Niro-brand version of light comedy. A pregnant Natalie Portman used her Best Actress acceptance speech to teach us all about the circle of life and crack jokes about just how evident it was that her (baby daddy?) would in fact sleep with her - even though his small Black Swan cameo involved him delivering a line to the contrary. Sure, why not. Oh, and Tilda Swinton gave, the, most, severe, enunciation, of, a, nominee, list, EVER.

On the other hand, Katey Sagal and Seven Buscemi won Best Actor/Actress awards for Sons of Anarchy and Boardwalk Empire, respectively, giving this year's Globes those nice "long overdue" moments of validation you hope to see now and again. Trent Reznor also won a Golden Globe, meaning that millions of boys and girls who wore black makeup and shin-high black boots during the mid-90s are also now feeling validated.

Just some of the high/low lights.

Levity award of the night went to Michael Douglas, who took the podium for the first time since his bout with cancer and wittily claimed that there must be easier ways to inspire the standing ovation that greeted him.

There were some mystery moments in the ceremony that are sure to keep the Interwebs spinning for the next day or so: The bleeped-out moments of what Christian Bale said to Robert De Niro during his Fighter Supporting Actor Award speech; what Paul Giamatti likes to drink that's so bad it's name had to be bleeped-out; or the particular Death Eater hex Helena Bonham Carter was putting on actress Melissa Leo during the latter's acceptance speech for her Supporting Actress award for The Fighter. Finally, like De Niro, we may always be left wondering if Al Pacino suddenly awoke from a deep sleep only to find himself onstage being handed an award for You Don't Know Jack. Because it certainly seemed that way.

Oh, and The Social Network won Best Picture, of course. Is the top Oscar next? (Sorry Inception fans, your beloved Nolan film walked away empty-handed in the big awards categories. C'est la vie.)
