Likely to the relief of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Sunday's Golden Globes ceremony went off more or less without a hitch. (There were two curse words that had to be censored and more than one penis joke, but these are the Globes, not the Oscars.)

The expected big winners - George Clooney, Meryl Streep, "The Artist" - took home their awards, and host Ricky Gervais was far less needling of those in the audience as he was in 2011. But that could've been because we also seemed to see less of him.

"It appeared that he was offstage much more than in the past," says a review on the Huffington Post. And when he was on stage, this viewer found it almost painful to watch him, "because his performance was so emasculated...All in all, it was [routine], with scant entertainment."

The only glitch is that doesn't make much of a show for the viewers at home.

If you do, you'll find that Martin Henderson is a 37-year-old aspiring actor who was the victim of an October attack in which he was picked up and then thrown to the ground, the BBC reports.
