Oh Ricky! You're In Trouble!

And now comes the backlash…

According to GOSSIPCOP,

Philip Berk, President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (the group responsible for putting on the Golden Globes) says host Ricky Gervais went too far last night with his jokes.
Gervais made biting remarks about a number of stars throughout the telecast, but particularly during his opening monologue.
“He definitely crossed the line,” Berk tells The Hollywood Reporter. “And some of the things were totally unacceptable.”
“Any of the references to individuals is certainly not something the Hollywood Foreign Press condones,” he added.
Berk says that he “had no idea what Ricky was going to say” as the comedian does not allow any pre-show scrutiny.

Having watched the opening monologue with one hand over my mouth I can certainly see why they are upset.  Check it out and see what you think.
