Rickey Gervais will take up the hosting duties at the Golden Globes. A good thing? Sure, why not? Over the years, the host has been an issue for this show and the Oscars. It should not be. The Oscars were much better without one. Anyway, when the host takes all the headlines, they did something wrong.

For the Globes, Gervais works, and that is find and dandy.
