American newspapers turn on Ricky Gervais.


Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes awards. His
glasses were criticised

American newspapers were full of reaction to the
Golden Globes awards - and many were angry at
Ricky Gervais.
LA TIMES
"Ricky Gervais's red-carpet eyewear looked like a
leftover from last year's Avatar and about three
sizes too big."
WASHINGTON POST
"Are we at war with England? If not, then why
have we been subjected to two years of Ricky
Gervais hosting the Golden Globe Awards,
witnessing a growing hostility between the British
comedian and a resentful audience of celebs?
(Colin Firth, best actor winner for The King's
Speech, with your sophisticated and
magnanimously eloquent acceptance speech! Do
something!)"
NEW YORK TIMES
"The Golden Globes entirely snubbed True Grit,
the Coen brothers Western. Maybe they just have
it in for the Coens? Last year ’s A Serious Man was
also nearly ignored. On the other hand, the Coens
are not much for the hoopla of the awards
circuit."
WASHINGTON TIMES
"The Facebook tale The Social Network won top
honors at the Golden Globes with four prizes,
including best drama and director, solidifying its
prospects as an Academy Awards favorite."
USA TODAY
"Natalie Portman needs to clear shelf space after
winning the Globe and the BFCA's Critics' Choice
award for her role as an obsessive dancer in
Black Swan, which vaults her into an early lead
for the Oscar statuette."
WALL STREET JOURNAL
"Best TV Series- Drama goes to Boardwalk
Empire. HBO just keeps pumping out the award-
winning shows."
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Besides best drama, The Social Network, about
the founding of Facebook, won for David
Fincher's direction, Aaron Sorkin's script and the
score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. After
receiving top honors from critics groups coast to
coast, this resounding victory positions the film
as the front-runner at the Academy Awards."
HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Ricky Gervais’ biting lines were scattered at
various stars (and movies like The Tourist), with
not everyone taking kindly to the treatment.
Bruce Willis seemed miffed to be called the father
of Ashton Kutcher."
