Ricky Gervais
Paddy Power are tipping English comedian Russell Brand and his estranged pop star wife Katy Perry to become the brunt of Ricky Gervais’s jokes when he takes to the stage on Sunday night to present this year’s Golden Globe Awards.
The funny man, who caused a stir when he presented last year’s Golden Globes, is once again gearing up to unleash his sarcastic tongue on a whole host of celebrities and with Perry and Russell recently announcing their separation, that makes them prime suspects at 5/1 to be the first on his hit list!
Other celebrities who could find themselves in Gervais’ firing line include Madonna at 11/2, Mission Impossible star and Scientologist Tom Cruise at 6/1 and Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore at 10/1. Justin Bieber and Charlie Sheen are also far from safe at odds of 14/1.
Meanwhile, when it comes to the awards themselves, it’s Michel Hazanavicius’s silent movie The Artist that is tipped to be the big winner on the night.
The old-style, silent black and white flick is the 1/8 red hot favourite to win Best Picture Comedy/Musical while its lead actor Jean Dujardin is 1/10 to pick up the Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical.
Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said: "There were many people quick to criticise Ricky Gervais after he hosted last year’s glitzy Globe awards but he must have done something right if he was asked back for a second year! We can’t wait to see who he gives a good tongue lashing to!"
