Sunday brought us the 67th annual Golden Globe awards, and promised us an unleashed Ricky Gervais as host, along with some amazing surprises. For once, NBC delivered on their promise.

Host Gervais was brash and harsh and completely hilarious as expected and poked fun at Steve Carrell, script writers in general, Colin Farrell, Sir Paul McCartney and Mel Gibson, among others. The bits with Gervais more than made up for a painfully slow pace.

Oh, and did I mention the surprised in the awards section? The big talk of the awards was Fox breakout hit Glee winning an award and Avatar winning Best Motion Picture Drama and best director, James Cameron. The remaining awards are below.

With a win at the Globes, Avatar fans are already talking a victory at this years Academy Awards. With a sci-fi movie winning a Golden Globe, anything could happen.
