Ricky Gervais will return to host the 69th annual Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association confirmed today.

On the TV side, the most noteworthy nominations were comedy slots for first-year shows Glee and Modern Family (at the expense, apparently of 2008 nominees Californication and Weeds—ouch, Showtime!).

Ricky Gervais to Host Golden Globes

While we’re on the subject of awards-show hosts today, NBC has just announced that Ricky Gervais will host the previously host-less Golden Globes on Jan. 17, having semi-auditioned by being the funniest presenter/accepter at various awards shows past. With Neil Patrick Harris having brilliantly hosted the Emmys and Tonys, who’s left as your dream host [...]
