The stars have been seated, the booze is flowing, Ricky Gervais is ready. Let's begin!
The NBC red carpet — which started at 7pm, while the E! red carpet show was still on — featured Carson Daly and Alexa Chung. Random. Does NBC think these are folks "young people" like? Alexa Chung knighted Alec Baldwin, not that she has the authority to do so.
Anyway, on to the show. The very important awards show. Where Burlesque has two nominations and True Grit has zero. Whee!
8:01
Drumroll!
Ricky Gervais is drinking something. Is it ale? A nice lager?
Ooh. Gervais dissed The Tourist. With Johnny and Angelina in the room. Balls.
Scientology and gay jokes. Gasps from the audience.
Robert De Niro really loved the Hugh Hefner "old penis" joke.
