Remember when Ricky Gervais was the big hit (or lack there of) at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards where he seemed to not only offend everyone in the crowd but everyone watching as well.

"What actually tipped the balance and made me say yes, was the fact that it would shut up all those f--king idiots who said that I'd never be invited back," he wrote. "Is that the wrong reason to do something? Ha ha. I think it is."
"Now here's the thing. The outrage I caused was of course, as usual, totally out of proportion to the things I said. I don't think anyone had any right to be offended but they were," he continued.

Oh man, if this isn't the highest rated awards show ever... next year they might have to get Eddie Murphy. Just saying...
