Ough Gervais & NBC Appear Ready For 3rd Golden Globes Stint: And Can HFPA Agree?

Because the lengthy courtship and quick departure of Oscar host-to-be Eddie Murphy demonstrated now, appropriate hosts for major honours shows aren’t found easily. Therefore the Hollywood Foreign Press Association might want to keep two-time Golden Globes host Ough Gervais. NBC has always wanted him back and Gervaisin Augustannounced the network had asked him to come back because the Golden Globes host. He confirmed that to gain access to Hollywood tonight, singling the HFPA because the holdout. I believe NBC wants me to get it done, but [the] Hollywood Foreign Press have to want me too, he stated. Its their event. Its their party. The edges are speaking, although informally, and Gervais lately dined with reps for NBC and HFPA in Paris. However with only 2 several weeks to visit before the The month of january twelfth event, the HFPA has to make its move soon before Gervais changes his mind again. Or will get asked through the Academy Of Movement Picture Arts & Sciences for that Oscar hosting gig that's also vacant. Gervais tonight stated (maybe joking, not) he could host both honours occasions for a cheap price cost. There's also the problem of potential celebrity defections if Gervais returns as host, as Hollywood star energy continues to be the Globes greatest draw. I hear that to date there's just one A-lister who's threatening to not attend if Gervais emcees. Obviously, the cant forget just how much his second stint as Globes host this past year stirred the pot with blunt one-inserts focusing on large-title celebs attending the big event as well as the questionable HFPA itself sponsoring the show. Later, the HFPA reps distanced themselves from Gervais, stating that he went too much and entered the road. That residual bitterness appears to become the obstacle to some formal offer for Gervais to come back like a Golden Globes host. The British comedian was initially signed by NBC to some 2-year deal. The network could revert towards the Golden Globes longtime no-host format but does not wish to. That practice found an finish when Gervais was hired. Gervais in the beginning ignored the potential of a 3-peat moss soon after his second time hosting. But he's been progressively starting to warm up towards the idea. In most recent interviews, Ough has proven an eagerness to come back as emcee. He confirmed to gain access to Hollywood tonight he hasnt been formally offered the task yet but accepted that the thought of returning behind the podium is extremely tempting.
