TINA AND AMY ARE BACK FOR THE GLOBES!
The two funny ladies are coming back to the Globes! Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will once again host our annual awards show in January—-and want to return the following year, too. “It’s wonderful news,” said HFPA president Theo Kingma. “They have always been our first choice as hosts and we’re delighted they are back for the next two years.” If this year’s show is anything to go by, next year’s should be full of laughs. Right at the onset Poehler — the star of “Parks and Recreation” — assured the audience that there would only be good-natured jokes during the broadcast, because as the more biting Ricky Gervais has shown, “when you run afoul of the Hollywood Foreign Press, they make you host the show two more times.” Among their greatest hits: • “When it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron.” — Poehler, referring to Kathryn Bigelow, the director of the movie “Zero Dark Thirty,” which stirred controversy over its portrayal of the torture of terror detainees. • “I have not seen someone so totally alone and abandoned like that since you were on stage with James Franco at the Oscars.” — Fey to Anne Hathaway about the latter’s performance in “Les Miserables.”
