Golden Globes 2012: live coverage 08.00 The Associated Press have filed this great factbox on the best "sound bites" from the Globes (via the Washington Post). 07.30 George Clooney jokes with Michael Fassbender over nude scenes. Clooney says Fassbender could play "golf with his hands behind his back." 07.00 Every award ceremony seems to have a "wardrobe malfunction" and this year, it seems Modern Family's Sarah Hyland's has fallen victim to the embarassing situation, according to E! News. 06.45 Morgan Freeman has paid tribute to Dame Helen Mirren (see 02.55) as he admits he is touched by his lifetime achievement award. According to this piece from CBS News, Sidney Poitier, the filmmaker and the British actress he starred alongside in Red, were on hand to honour Freeman with the award, which has previously been given to Robert De Niro, Sean Connery and others. While accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Morgan Freeman said "If you do what you love, you'll never have to work a day in your life." And for the 74-year-old celebrated actor, that theory seems to ring true. Being up here receiving this award, this tribute that you yourself received, makes it clear to me that though they call this the Cecil B. DeMille Award, in my house, it will also be called the Sidney Poitier Award. He also had great things to say about Mirren. I can't really tell you how it feels to be up here being touted by a woman I love so much. Morgan then joked: Working with you on 'Red' was great fun ... but I learned one thing. Watching you handle a gun makes me know I never want to p--- you off. Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais (AP Photo/NBC, Paul Drinkwater) 06.30 Reuters have produced this piece on Gervais' hosting events (via the Chicago Tribune). Headlined "Ricky Gervais sprinkles Globes barbs with charm," Jill Serjeant writes: Gervais had it about right. With jokes ranging from Kim Kardashian's short-lived marriage to Jodie Foster's box-office flop "The Beaver," his third stint as Golden Globes host proved more of a charm than his controversial and acid comments a year ago. Not that the British comedian had lost his nerve as he faced a ballroom packed with Hollywood A-list stars. But on Sunday he sprinkled better jokes with a dose of affection for the celebrities he was skewering, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) that hired him. 06.10 The Golden Globes have finished for more than an hour now, yet there are still dozens of screaming girls in the bar area. A recap video of Gervais opening "So, where was I?": 06.00 The Telegraph's Rachel Ray says this year's Golden Globes was a fairly sober event compared to last year - even Madonna put Ricky Gervais in his place. If I'm still a virgin, why don't you come over here and do something about it, Ricky. I haven't kissed a girl in a while---on tv. Ricky Gervais reportedly has said that this third time is the final time that he will host the Golden Globes awards. And that's a good thing. Because despite a ratings-booster guarantee to offend the town and industry where he believes he's an outsider, Gervais couldn't get the Hollywood glitterati to take the bait again. Although the champagne was flowing, guarded celebrities were locked into self-important postures that the tell-it-like-it-is comic failed to completely knock off kilter, as he did last year. Gervais is no longer the Golden Globes bad boy. 05.23 Ruvin Orbach, award-winning writer and director, gave this reaction to the Golden Globe Awards tonight. Ricky Gervais was unusually muffled tonight, maybe he decided that he needed a career in Hollywood after all. Madonna on the other hand was initally tongue tied and a little sentimental when she won, but could not hold back with her lovely crass humour later on. Morgan Freeman was glowing when Sidney Poitier gave him the Cecil B. Demille award, he even said Helen Mirren was sexy holding a gun.

She has just put Ricky Gervais in his place telling him that if she is still "like a Virgin" then he'd better do something about it. 02.01 Michelle Williams is up on stage saying "i consider myself a mother first and an actress second" as she accepts the award for best actress for her role in My Week With Marilyn. Now we've got War Horse and The Artist pitted against one another in best musical or comedy. Next now is the award for best actress in a mini-series.
