I would like to leave you with a small token of wisdom from Ricky Gervais during the ceremony
“It’s going to be a night of partying and heaving drinking – or as Charlie Sheen calls it, breakfast.”
“Everything this year was three-dimensional, except the characters in The Tourist. I feel bad about that joke. I’m jumping on the bandwagon, because I haven’t even seen that movie. Who has?”
