Judd Apatow, HFPA Not Fans of Ricky Gervais’ Golden Globes Roasting

Much is being made today about Ricky Gervais’ performance as host-cum-roastmaster at the Golden Globes on Sunday night. Here at Movieline HQ, we’re firmly on Team Ricky, and it seems like we’re not alone — celebrities like Jimmy Fallon and Jason Bateman praised the unctuous Brit for his ribald comedy. But that doesn’t mean everyone enjoyed the public celebrity berating — just ask Judd Apatow and the Hollywood Foreign Press.

Who Scored Big in Week 12 of SNL’s Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time-Player Relevancy Poll?

This season of Saturday Night Live has been, at many times, a bit tired. Even the usually reliable political sketches have seen off. But I can’t remember the last time a season of SNL has seemed so energized by a group of new cast members — when they’re actually allowed on air. This past weekend, the featured players pretty much took over the last half of the show, and it may have been the best continuous half-hour stretch of the season to date.

SNL Scorecard: Did the Rookies Save Gwyneth Paltrow’s Show?

Last night’s Gwyneth Paltrow-hosted edition of Saturday Night Live used an interesting formula: The first half of the show featured mostly the established cast-members (Kristen Wiig even got to do that Kristen Wiig thing that she does, a rarity as of late), which has been, at best, hit or miss all season. Then, after a notably feisty “Weekend Update,” new featured players Jay Pharoah, Taran Killam and Paul Brittain, respectively, gave us three individual sketches that all killed. Were their efforts enough to make this a memorable show? On to the scorecard!

James Cameron Sinks Universal’s Battleship

It seems James Cameron is saving his judge-y haymakers for bigger fish than just Piranha 3D . The King of the World told a German website that no film better embodies Hollywood’s creative bankruptcy than Universal’s two ka-billion dollar adaptation of Battleship . “We have a story crisis. Now they want to make the Battleship game into a film,” said Cameron to Spiegel . “This is pure desperation.” And how! Just wait until he finds out it co-stars Rihanna and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model.

SNL Scorecard: Did Jim Carrey Save a Lackluster Show?

There was something odd about last night’s Jim Carrey-hosted installment of SNL . Between the promos featuring Carrey hitting on Kristen Wiig, his monologue proposal and the good-nights where Carrey emotionally thanked pretty much the entire world, it felt like the episode might have been one big Jim Carrey therapy session. The last time Carrey hosted, May 18, 1996, Carrey wasn’t too far removed from being the guy walking down the street wearing an oversized cowboy hat looking for a copy of the Rhode Island Slut . Now, we have a more mature, certainly a more damaged Carrey hosting for a second time — complicated by hosting on, well, a day that, due to current events, people did not find particularly funny. How did he do? On to the scorecard…
