The victories for the two films at the Globes put them in prime position as Hollywood’s annual awards season heats up, leading to the all-important Oscars on February 28. After visibly struggling for a few moments to say something kind, Gervais finally came up with this: “I’d rather have a drink with him in his hotel tonight than with Bill Cosby”.
