Ricky Gervais, host of the 2012 Golden Globes, did it again! After much speculation over the comedian's 2011 controversy involving a scathing round of insults aimed at high profile celebrities many thought he wouldn't appear on TV let along the Golden Globes again.

Well, the ratings must have got the boost they needed because he was invited back with a set of ground rules, which he actually read on stage in this year's show. Did Gervais behave? No, the actor took pot shots at celebrities, networks, the foreign press and the show itself!
