TINA Fey and Amy Poehler hosted the Golden Globes for the second time yesterday. For their take two, they got a little feistier with their digs at the A-listers sitting in the audience. Here are their best lines as compiled by the New York Post.
Leo laughs
"And now, like a supermodel's vagina, let's give a warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio." - Tina Fey
Space case
"Gravity … a story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age." - Tina Fey
Life of the party
"If I wanted to see Jonah Hill masturbate at a pool party, I'd go to one of Jonah Hill's pool parties." - Amy Poehler
Michael Bay's meltdown
"Michael Bay described our next presenters as … oh, um, sorry, can't do this." - Tina Fey, taking a jab at the Transformers director who flubbed his lines and ran offstage at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas earlier this month.
Swift response
After Poehler won Best Actress in a Comedy for Parks and Recreation, Fey congratulated her by saying: "I love you, and there is a special place in hell for you."
That was an indirect dig at Taylor Swift, who was sitting in the front row. The backstory goes: Last year at the award show, Fey and Poehler told Swift to "stay away from Michael J. Fox's son," Sam, who was Mr. Golden Globes. Then, Swift responded in an interview by saying: "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."
Matt Damon: Garbage man
"Matt Damon is here for Behind the Candelabra … on any other night, in any other room, you'd be a big deal, but tonight, don't take this the wrong way, you're basically a garbage person." - Amy Poehler
Damon responded when he came onstage to present Best Film nominee Captain Phillips. "It's me the garbage man. The garbage man who didn't bring his glasses."
Joaquin around
"Her … takes place in the not-so-distant future, which is perfect because so does Joaquin Phoenix." - Tina Fey
Running time
"We're going to get this done in three hours - or what Martin Scorsese calls 'Act 1.'" - Tina Fey
Streep snicker
"Meryl Streep … proving that there are still great parts in Hollywood for Meryl Streeps over 60." - Tina Fey
Alternate title
"Interesting trivia - the original title for American Hustle was 'explosion at the wig factory.'" - Tina Fey
